No set amount. But to be marked 4Q and hired you need 60 before you will get put in the "call" pile.

Only credits from an accredited institution are accepted. You have to check if they are accredited.

Like Joey said, they need to be accredited. However, if those 21 credits are not accredited, you can always take online FEMA courses to make up the difference.
