Nation High School Launches Nation Full-Time Program (NFTP) Offering Affordable Self-Paced Courses Online

Charlotte, North Carolina (PRWEB) September 12, 2009

Students can now sign up for Nation Full Time Program (NFTP), a new online off-campus program that allows students ages 14 and older to take up to 16 courses online and earn a high school diploma based on their own schedule. Inspired by President Obama’s “Back to School” speech, students who sign up by September 30, 2009 will receive a 50 percent discount on tuition rates.

Nation High School developed the Nation Full Time Program to help students continue their education with the help of grants. Students can complete their high school diploma or GED online at less than half the cost of regular tuition–a price of only $ 799 which includes study materials and student guidance. In addition to discount tuition rates, students can transfer to the new program at no charge. Whether they dropped out of high school due to personal or financial reasons, students can complete their education through NFTP by transferring their previous credits and completing the online program. Graduating students will receive accredited diplomas, official transcripts and education verification letters.

“We are proud to add this flexible and convenient online high school program to our list of affordable high school diploma programs,” said Steve O’Neil, president of the school board. “Students have the opportunity to complete high-quality courses in the comfort of their own homes, offices or other wireless locations, making it possible to continue their education without spending time away from work, family or other obligations.”

The new program includes up to 16 quality courses such as English, Geometry, Biology, Physics, Economics and World Religions. The Nation Full Time Program (NFTP) is one of three unique opportunities offered by Nation High School, allowing students to earn an accredited diploma or GED online. In addition to enrolling in the full-time program, students can also earn a diploma by taking a standard test through the Nation Test Program (NTP)) and on the basis of their prior learning experience through the Nation Prior Learning Assessment Program (NPLA).

About Nation High School:

For more than 30 years, Nation High School has been offering quality education services and home schooling to working adults. Accredited by the International Online Education Accrediting Board and the Organization for Online Learning Accreditation, Nation High School has awarded high school diplomas to more than 12,000 students worldwide.

Wharton Executive Education Selected to Offer the Alternative Investments Certificate Program

Wharton Executive Education Selected to Offer the Alternative Investments Certificate Program

Philadelphia, PA, (PRWEB) August 8, 2005

Wharton Executive Education today announced that the Investment Management Consultants Association (IMCA) has selected the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania to offer its Alternative Investments Certificate Program in October 2005 and three times in 2006. The decision was made after the enthusiastic response of 45 participants – including independent investment consultants and employees of major brokerage houses such as Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley – to the inaugural running of the program.

Wharton Executive Education was chosen from among several potential partner institutions to design and deliver the program for IMCA. Participation in the Alternative Investments Certificate Program provides 40 hours of IMCA Continuing Education credit toward maintenance of both a CIMA and CIMC license. Participants also receive a certificate from the Wharton School and the program counts toward a Wharton Certificate of Professional Development.

The executive education program covers both qualitative and quantitative factors in investment decisions to help participants hone their “economic intuition.” On the quantitative side, Wharton faculty examined investment options such as hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, and real estate. On the qualitative side, faculty also explored organizational issues such as manager selection, regulation, and ethics.

“In addition to applying all sorts of new tools that helped them get behind the media reports and learn how to separate truth from fiction, participants learned to use their guts and not just their heads,” said Eric Weiner, a director of the Wharton Executive Education Financial Service Practice.

The Alternative Investments Certificate Program consists of 12 weeks of online pre-work, ranging from basics such as hedge-fund strategies to more advanced issues such as risk-monitoring, and culminating in a week-long intensive at the Wharton School.

The last assignment, an integrative case study, allows participants to try out their new fusion of theory and practical real-life considerations. “People came from a broad range of experiences and were differently prepared, but each one found something valuable,” said Christopher Geczy, assistant professor of finance at Wharton and academic director of the program.

About IMCA

IMCA is the principal professional association of the investment consulting industry, ensuring quality service to the public by developing and encouraging the highest of standards, broadening the public’s understanding of investment management consulting, and promoting professional education and practice standards for investment consultants.

California State University, Chico Continuing Education Offers Localization Certification Program

California State University, Chico Continuing Education Offers Localization Certification Program

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) November 30, 2006

California State University, Chico Continuing Education, in partnership with the Globalization and Localization Association (GALA) and The Localization Institute, announces open enrollment for the 2007 Localization Certification Program for professionals, business executives, web managers, and other professionals wanting to learn localization and international e-business.

Initiated in early 2006, the Localization Certification Program was developed by industry experts representing the leading professional associations, publishers and academic institutions in the field as a response to this growing demand for localization professionals. The program provides a unique educational opportunity to learn and demonstrate competency in the up-and-coming localization and international e-business fields.

The demand for the program was so overwhelming in 2006, that there will be workshops in two locations for 2007 – one in Europe and one in the USA. The European Localization Certification Program will take place April 25-27, 2007 in Marseille, France at host university EUROMED Marseille Ecole de Management. The North American Localization Certification program is scheduled for June 12-14, 2007 at California State University, Chico, USA.

Localization is an emerging, multi-discipline field that focuses on how organizations develop linguistically and culturally appropriate websites, software, marketing strategies and messages for a diverse global audience. Professionals charged with international marketing, translation, localization and other business functions must now possess a blend of industry-specific knowledge, technical e-business skills, language translation management experience, and a cultural understanding of the people and markets they serve.

“We have partnered with many significant contributors to the field to establish this program, and we look forward to providing an educational solution for those who sell and market products globally. As companies attempt to expand their exports, this education becomes essential business knowledge,” commented Nitish Singh, CSU, Chico associate professor, director of the College of Business Localization Program, and author of The Culturally Customized Web Site.

Individuals who successfully complete the Localization Certification Program will receive a certification from California State University, Chico Continuing Education, the Globalization and Localization Association (GALA), and The Localization Institute.

Audio Bible Listening Program Engages The Church of the Nazarene

Audio Bible Listening Program Engages The Church of the Nazarene

(PRWEB) February 5, 2007

Faith Comes By Hearing, the American Bible Society, and the International Bible Society are impacting members of The Church of the Nazarene through You’ve Got the Time, an Audio Bible listening program. Members of The Church of the Nazarene will receive free Audio Drama New Testaments or Kidz Bibles on CD in MP3 format and will listen through the New Testament from Easter to Pentecost.

The Church of the Nazarene is branding the program Make the Connection with God’s Word, and is encouraging over 5,000 churches in the U.S. and Canada to take part. This means that an unprecedented 600,000 people will be impacted by listening to God’s Word at the same time.

The event is intended to overcome cultural challenges facing the American church. The U.S. Department of Education’s 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy cites that 43% of American adults are functionally illiterate which means that they cannot read at a level that enables successful comprehension. This indicates that nearly half the people in churches today do not have the skills required for meaningful Bible reading.

Literacy rates are not the only problem facing the church today. Statistics prove that although most Americans consider themselves Christian, many do not know basic biblical facts. Not So Christian America, by Professor Thomas C. Reeves, cites a Gallup Organization poll which reveals that more than half of American adults cannot name the four Gospels and only three in ten teenagers know why Easter is celebrated.

Audio Bible programs offer a fast-paced society the opportunity to increase Bible knowledge while performing other tasks or while on the go.

Organizers expect positive results from the Make the Connection program. International Director for Faith Comes By Hearing, Morgan Jackson, explained, “The Church of the Nazarene has asked God for revival and seek this revival by having the whole church listen through the New Testament together. God’s Word is the source of all life and the foundation of revival. In the Bible, the book of Romans states that ‘Faith Comes By Hearing and hearing by the Word of God.’ As the church hears God’s Word, we expect to see a faith explosion—faith that will lead to a transformation of people, families, and the church—leading to the revival our hearts long for.”

Audio Bible listening programs in the U.S. have an astounding effect on nations in other parts of the world. After listening programs in churches are completed, congregations are asked to sponsor programs for poor and illiterate people groups around the world.

Through You’ve Got the Time, churches fund recordings of the Bible in the heart languages of the people. To date, Faith Comes By Hearing has 264 Scripture recordings in 222 different languages with plans to record Audio Drama Bibles in every language spoken.

Dr. Woodie Stevens, District Superintendent of Sunday School Ministries for the Church of the Nazarene had this to say about the possibilities of sponsoring Faith Comes By Hearing listening programs in other nations, “Imagine a remote village without electricity or running water where people gather around a black box that speaks. Imagine the powerful impact this 40-day listening adventure will have on those who have never heard God’s Word in their mother language. For the first time we can literally take the good news to the illiterate of the world.”

Faith Comes By Hearing is a nonprofit ministry which exists to reach oral communicators and poor and illiterate people worldwide with the Word of God through audio technology. For more information visit http://www.fcbh.org.

Utah Approves Expansion of Teacher Certification Program

Utah Approves Expansion of Teacher Certification Program

Salt Lake City, UT (Vocus) May 19, 2008

The Utah State Board of Education approved the expansion of a state-approved teacher certification program. The program, offered by the non-profit group the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence (ABCTE), was approved in Utah in 2004 as a pilot program for secondary mathematics. Based upon the results of the pilot, all certifications offered by ABCTE will now be accepted.

“The presentation by Utah State Office of Education made it clear that ABCTE is a very rigorous program and the teachers our schools are hiring from this program are high quality. We want to make sure our school districts have access to the best talent in the state and this program will help us accomplish that,” said Mark Cluff, Vice Chairman, Utah State School Board. State School Superintendent Patti Harrington added; “A careful review of the ABCTE process convinced the Utah State Board of Education of the appropriateness of ABCTE as an acceptable alternative route to initial Utah licensure.”

ABCTE teamed up with a strong grassroots education innovation group, Parents for Choice in Education, to work to expand the program in Utah. “PCE knows that great education starts with great teachers. With Utah facing a severe teacher shortage, we wanted to make sure there were more routes to certification. We were very impressed with the quality of teachers this alternative certification route brings into the classroom and set our sights on facilitating an expansion of the entire ABCTE program,” said Robyn Bagley, Board Chairman for PCE.

In addition to the current math certification, ABCTE will offer Passport to Teaching certification in elementary education, special education, English, general science, biology, physics, chemistry and history. The program is designed specifically to recruit, prepare and certify mid-career professionals who want to transition into teaching.

“After seeing the quality of the teachers and the program, Utah has taken a huge step forward in recruiting more talented teachers,” said ABCTE President Dave Saba. “This program is a great option because it attracts talented professionals who wouldn’t otherwise enter teaching through a traditional route.” Representative Greg Hughes, House Education Committee Chair concurred; “The House Education Committee has become critically aware of the severe teacher shortage facing Utah’s schools. We applaud this expansion of the ABCTE program as a great step in the right direction to ensure every student in Utah has a great teacher.”

ABCTE is planning a tour of free teacher recruitment events in Utah this fall. School districts are invited to attend to meet prospective teachers for their schools and learn more about how the Passport to Teaching program works. People interested in becoming teachers can attend to learn more. Details on the events will be available soon. For more information, visit http://www.abcte.org/events .

Nationwide, nearly 1,000 people have completed certification with Passport to Teaching and 2,250 are currently enrolled. Enrolled candidates must demonstrate mastery on subject area and teaching knowledge examinations. Individuals with bachelor’s degrees can prepare for certification on their own time and at their own pace, using preparation materials available from a variety of sources.

For more information, visit http://www.abcte.org or call 1-877-669-2228.

The American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence is a non-profit organization, dedicated to recruiting, certifying and supporting excellent teachers essential for student success. ABCTE offers the Passport to Teaching program – an innovative alternative route to teacher certification for highly knowledgeable individuals who want to change careers and become teachers. ABCTE is currently developing Distinguished Teacher, an advanced credential for teachers who advance student learning. For more information about ABCTE, please visit http://www.abcte.org .

Intuition Training Program for Small Business Owners Now Available from Professional Intuitive Elise Lebeau

Intuition Training Program for Small Business Owners Now Available from Professional Intuitive Elise Lebeau

(PRWEB) April 27, 2009

Small business owners looking to leverage their intuitive intelligence in order to turn sporadic gut feelings into reliable business intuition now have expert assistance available, with professional intuitive Elise Lebeau’s new Business Intuition Program (http://www.eliselebeau.com/businessIntuitionProgram.php). The program is designed to give small business owners or anyone looking for a structured approach to business intuition a sustainable strategy for success. Though already a tremendous value, the first 50 people who register for the program will receive a 50 percent discount on the registration cost.

“Leveraging your intuition is a very efficient business strategy: it provides the most results for the least efforts!” Lebeau says. “We all ultimately run into tough business situations. The defining factor of sustainable success is not to avoid these circumstances, but rather to leverage what you’ve been dealt to your best advantage.”

Lebeau has more than seven years of experience working with clients who are looking for concrete intuitive answers for their personal or professional lives. Her Business Intuition Program, a three-month self-paced online training program with weekly one-on-one coaching via e-mail, consists of basic lessons on how to develop intuition, along with concrete exercises to immediately apply these concepts to real life, empowering participants to be confident in their own intuitive answers instead of relying on someone else.

“The Business Intuition Program is built upon the concept that intuition can provide you more information than what you have available right now,” Lebeau says. “With the Business Intuition Program, I will help you figure out what your intuition is trying to tell you, while also making realistic and concrete business decisions that you’ll feel comfortable with.”

Lebeau’s program (http://www.eliselebeau.com/businessIntuitionProgram.php) utilizes concrete and practical intuitive exercises that are fast and convenient – the online exercises can be completed anywhere, any time of day in less than 15 minutes. Each concept covered in the program is concise and targeted to a specific aspect of business intuition, providing a structured approach to integrating intuitive information into business decisions.

The Business Intuition Program is also cost-effective, available for a lot less than the cost of a typical coaching program. In addition, Lebeau is readily available to directly assist participants online. When participants get stuck, need advice or simply aren’t sure where to start, they can reach out to Lebeau and receive her intuitive take on how to move past roadblocks and get the results they are looking for. Program participants also have access to a support community, where all users can come together to share experiences and successes with the program, exchange tips and tricks and offer their own valuable advice on intuitive-based business decisions.
