Get certified
“In what?” you might ask. “Well, take your pick,” I’ll reply.
When I saw the spring schedule of continuing education courses, three things jumped right out at me. First, we are offering Professional Learning Units for teachers (see yesterday’s post). That’s pretty big. Second, we are offering a course for wedding planners. There’s actually training and a certification in wedding planning! Who knew? (Certified wedding planners everywhere are sayng “I did.”) Third, I was wowed by the addition of SCUBA certification to our offerings. When I think of SCUBA divers, I never think of anyplace this far inland. But there it is, right here in Middle Georgia, three hours from the nearest coast.
It’s this kind of “see a need and fill it” attitude that I think will keep Fort Valley State University growing. Other certifications on the schedule: Fitness Trainer, Child Development Professional and Family Violence Intervention Training (part of a larger set of coursework).
