by Ihor J. Czenstuch
JENKINTOWN, Pa. - This summer Manor College's Part-Time Admissions and Professional Development Department offers adults and kids a variety of courses for personal enjoyment, career enhancement or professional advancement.
Computer training seminars, including special sessions for senior citizens, are being offered. Participants can register for introduction to computers, Windows '95/'98, Quick-Books, or any of the Microsoft Office Suites such as Excel, Access, Word and Powerpoint. First-time classes in Visual Basic 6.0 and webpage design are included in the summer line-up.
Dental professionals looking to advance in their field can enroll in a number of refresher classes to prepare for the Dental Assisting National Board Exam and the Pennsylvania Radiological Examination or to fulfill requirements for the part-time expanded functions program that is offered at Manor only at this time.
Many adults looking to finish what they started or to begin college classes can enroll in courses in allied health, business computer science, English as a second language (ESL) and liberal arts. Applicants are being accepted for the fall 2000 semester for those interested in obtaining an associate degree in one of Manor's allied health, business, computer science, education or psychology majors or transfer programs.
Parents can sign their kids up for a weeklong computer and math camp, a nature workshop and even a one-day babysitter's training class taught by the American Red Cross.
On the lighter side of things, courses in art appreciation, stand-up comedy, real estate investment and debt-free living, to name a few, are being held this summer.
The Part-Time Admissions and Professional Development department also handles corporate training both for credit and non-credit, and can customize programs to meet the particular needs of companies. In addition, continuing education classes for professionals in real estate, paralegals, dental assistants and medical office personnel, as well as classes in veterinary technology are held throughout the year.
