I have been in the I.T industry now for 12 years and found it a great asset to be able to talk about the subject itself as well as the enrollment process.

Career Colleges and Schools have been taking a hit over the past few years, and therefore all are held at a higher level of accountability. One of the reasons for this has been bad admissions practices. I am grateful for classes such as this and other training for admissions officers and departments because it lays everything plainly out. In some cases admissions workers claimed not to really have had serious training regarding correct practices. The news has been filled with examples of bad practices by admissions departments, but this class presents the information in a clear and understandable way.

Investing time in learning about the brand/products offered through your institution is a fundamental key to sucess. Having a clear understanding of the services your school offers builds onfidence in your response to potential students. This knowledge can keep a rep from fumbling around their notes and allow them to focus on whats more important, building a relationship with the future graduate.

with the technology we have access to today, to check the institution's website for updates was the most logical source/answer, but to check the supervisor is always a good idea.

It is important to understand the transfer of credit process and how to frame your converstion regarding this important issue.

The most beneficial aspect of this training is the idea of continued involvement with your peers regarding recruiting appropriately. As a supervisor of admissions personnel, it is very helpful.

I was not aware that old Admissions Representatives had to get certified as well. It's a good thing that its a requirment for everyone due to so many seasoned representatives doing away with giving misinformation.

With Addmission's being the driving force of the institution, I believe it is essential that during the admissions process to provide the prospective with accurate information before the potential student make their final decision.

It's all about the student not about your numbers.

I find it beneficial that agents and admissions representatives know how the institution is advertised for. This way, they can keep track of how prospective students are referred to institutions and document it. I use this information to determine the best advertising strategies.

The statutes,rules, and regulations are lengthy. However, they provide guidelines to follow. Keeping up to date with statutes and rules are very important for conducting business and state inspection.
