Credits needed for promotion

Any accredited college or university in the United States. I would enroll now for a summer or fall session. A lot of schools offer online courses as well if traveling to a classroom isn't possible.

Very easy if you don't feel like going to school:

First:

Take these free one credit classes offered through FEMA, online open book tests. No brainer...
training.fema.gov/is/crslist.aspx

Second:

Convert your FEMA EMI Independent Study courses into college credit with Frederick Community College. $80 per credit
em-study.com/emsfema/

Third:

Request Transcript from Federicks Community College
www.frederick.edu/current-students/downloads/fematranscriptform%282%29.aspx

Fourth:

Pat yourself on the back, you just spent $2160 to get promoted never stepping foot in a classroom.

I appreciate all the replies. Thank You.

Let me rephrase my question, how can i go about getting credit for classes taken at the academy and BMOC. I need 96 for Lieutenant and I have 69 now, those 69 credits i obtained from John Jay. I will go back to John Jay or will follow up all of the suggestions provided here To get those credits If i have to....BUT I think you get my point, im trying to get as many credits as i can without stepping in a classroom.

Thanks again. smile

I believe you have to request your transcript from PA. Then take it to john jay and have them apply it to your transcripts . I don't know how much they charged but I think I was still a current student when I did it back in 2005
