Philip,
Having a personal knowledge is important and gives a comfort level to your prospective clients. What do you do when you visit the other campuses?
I have begun to reach out to each individual campus location to futher my knowledge of each and what they have to offer
Joshua,
Sounds great! Make sure to repeat these opportunities as we are in a very dynamic environment and the information changes frequently.
Pamela,
Sounds like you are off to a great start. Accreditation standards can be a beast to get through, so select the fair consumer practices portion first, then program requirements and you will be able to have a very good understanding on the onset.
I think our school has a very in depth training program. It incorperates alot of the material that was included in this section. Inculding meeting with departments, sitting in on classes, knowing the programs.
Although I am new to this position and institution, I feel I am very knowledgeable about it. I had extensive training with the outgoing Admissions Rep and still have access to her when questions arise. I have read everything I can about our program, the rules and regulations. (I am still working on getting through the Standards of Accreditation Manual though!) I meet regularly with the VP to keep up to date on any changes that occur that affect admissions. I also meet with marketing on a regular basis to discuss lead generations. I will continue to do this, as well as check the websites for any changes to the rules and statutes.
Pamela,
Being involved in the institution itself is very valuable. Students have a new comfort level when you can speak from personal experience.
I feel that I am very knowledgable about my institution. I have taken the time to meet with instructors, reviewed the school catalog and sat in on classes in order to become familiar with our programs. I have met with our Student Services Department, Career Services, as well as other department heads to understand their role as it relates to the student and admissions. Over the years I have continued these meetings in order to keep myself up to date on any changes or trends in the industry or the fields in which we are hiring for.
Timothie,
Sounds like your institution keeps the communication going. Often, sharing such as this brings everyone on the same page.
I feel like I know a lot about my institution. We are frequently given training and provided with information about the industry we represent and the students we help. This is very important to our success and gives us the opportunity to be the best at what we do.
