Tutoring Courses

We offer the tutoring for Home Health Aides and Nursing Assistants. CNAs are required to complete 12 CEUs per year in order to maintain licensure. We do offer continuing education but not in the same format as the tutoring courses.

Response

The effectiveness of the eduational process is based on the result of how the teacher teaches and how the student learns. By acknowledging the learning style of each student, the instructor has the ability to deliver the material in a way that allows each student, regardless of learning style, to receive maximum understanding.

Evaluation

We have only two methods of evaluation in place at this time: marketing and student evaluation. Both provide feedback as to how our current efforts are being received. I feel we are doing the best we can by our auxiliary products at this time. It is our goal to expand in the near future and the information regarding special education was very helpful. I do want to implement workplace programs in the future and would be interested in more information. Overall I greatly enjoyed this class course ! ! !

Our number source of advertising comes in the form of mailing campaigns. My administrative assistant is responsible at the beginning of each month to complete a mail out to prospective students, employment agencies, local high schools, etc. Our website has yielded great results and we are able to contract with a local designer making the costs quite low. After completing this last module, I am excited to see how effective press releases may work for us. We always have a great story to tell and I have never thought of using a press release to share these stories with our… >>>

Tutoring Courses

Twice a year we offer tutoring courses to the community. These courses are the same programs we offer in our career programs just at a fraction of the time and costs. They serve to refresh those who have completed the program and need information on new techniques, rules, regulations, etc. It also allows prospective students to enroll in a "crash course" before committing to the entire program of study. We have seen great results in both publicity and student enrollments.
