We get to help others who want to improve their lives by advancing their education. This is a real thrill and my way of paying it forward as a guidance counselor secretly submitted my application for a scholarship when I was in high school ...I won free tuition and fees for 2 year scholarship based on my grades and positive attitude ... so once I was in school I loved it and now I can help as many others by business cards out in the community or by converting as many as a company supplies me with prospects ..

I found the input on creating a resource notebook helpgful. It is a one stop shopping admissions "bible" of sorts. I plan on using this alot to better assist me in this role.

What is a good way to blatantly describe to students the difference between Instutional / Regional / National Accreditation & how it will affect their employment post graudation?

I have found that marketing a school has been most beneficial (from what I have seen) both by Radio Advertisement as well as online. Radio is always a leeway into getting the word out about a new program, or a school itself. People are always driving & a majority of the time have their Radio playing while doing so. While potential students are at home - they typically utilize online search engines. I believe the best way to market out is to point something out about the school / institution that differs from other surrounding schools.

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.
