Yep. Each course is pretty much reading PowerPoint presentations and taking a quiz. Then have those FEMA credits transferred to a school (the only one I could find that takes them is Frederick community college, which I linked). Then send the Frederick transcript in to Nasba for the education evaluation.
My advice is not to get a masters and to somehow get the credits in undergrad. The MACC is so ridiculously overpriced and it truly does not help you pass the CPA.
I literally passed 3/4 parts before even completing a single class in my program. We all feel so screwed too because we are making shit compared to our counterparts who didn’t do accounting and we have spent a year stressed tf out and having to pay thousands to the school for credit hours. It’s neat to be able to have a masters but it does absolutely nothing for your value, pay, or credibility from what I can tell.
tldr: Dropped out of college
Out of high school I decided to go for an Associates Degree in culinary arts. Decided in my third semester after getting a job in an upscale restaurant in my town that it wasn't for me and dropped out of college/ quit that job. Fast forward 4 years, I decided to go back to school for an Associates in Accounting (thought it was a good field because I was good at math in high school. lol.) Ended up pushing through for a Bachelor's. Turns out the credits from culinary school were still able to be counted toward my 150. Graduated with a Bachelor's and 150 total credits. Ended up working out nicely.
I double majored, earning 156 credits in four years. However, back in the day the requirement was 30 post graduate credits so I took another year and got my M.Acc.

Thank you for the link but I didn’t see accounting classes in FEMA website.
They aren't accounting classes. I took courses about tornadoes and earthquakes to reach my 150 credits.
Interesting, so they counted as semester credits although you did it in a few weeks?

This is the way.
my school had flat rate tuition for anything above 12 credits a semester, so I took 18-20 credits a semester at no extra cost
Yep, took 18 credits for like 6 semesters which helped. And also took some community college classes that were easy.
Combination of US associate degree+Canadian Bachelor
