If a paraprofessional needs 30 credit hours what certificate can I hold with 60 credit hours.?

I'm assuming that you are referring to NCLB's requirement that paras have at least two years of college or an associate's degree.  I'm not sure that 30 hours meets that requirement, though.\n\nLogically, the next certificate you would hold would be a TEACHING certificate after getting a degree.  From there, there are different routes to certification, including the tradional route of completing an approved program of study in education or an alternative route such as Teach for America\n\nGood luck in your studies!  The pay for teachers, while not great, is considerably higher than for a para!

It appears that teachers aides in Michigan need a high school diploma. Here is the Michigan Civil Service Job Description for Teacher's Aides:\nhttp://www.michigan.gov/documents/TeacherAide_13051_7.pdf#search='michigan%20teachers%20aide%20qualifications'\n\nBUT, the No Child Left Behind Act has made it a requirement that teacher's aide meet the "highly qualified paraprofessional" standard if they assist with reading, writing or math in a Title 1 school (a school that has a high percentage of children who qualify for Title 1 reading assistance). Highly qualified means you must meet one of the following standards:\n\na.  Complete at least 60 hours credit toward a college diploma; or \nb.  Obtain an associate’s (or higher) degree; or \nc.  Demonstrate, through a formal academic assessment test, knowledge of and the ability to assist in instructing reading, writing, and mathematics (or, as appropriate, reading, writings, and mathematics readiness). \n\n\nMichigan has a test that you can take if you haven't met one of the educational requirements. \n\nRead all the details on this, including a worksheet to see how the educational requirements apply to you at:\nhttp://www.michigan.gov/documents/FAQ_-_paras_83927_7.doc\n\nIts a little confusing with the No Child Left Behind Act. Your local school district will be happy to help you understand the requirements. Call the Personnel or Human Resources department and ask.\n\nHope this helps!

It may depend somewhat on where you are.\n\nI know the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) requires fifteen hours of general education courses for an AAS degree, with three hours in the social sciences, three hours in math/science, and three hours in humanities/fine arts.\n\nI would guess that the other regional accrediting agencies would have similar guidelines--and most junior/community/technical colleges are going to interpret those pretty much the same (although they may have slightly different course offerings) within each region.

Unfortunately your medical assisting training will NOT let you transfer credits because what you have is vocational training, not college classes. UNLESS you have a 2 year medical assisting degree. Initially I assumed you have a medical assistant diploma from a CAAHEP or ABHES accredited vocational training institution (since you sat for the certification exam).\n\nHowever, although you have not earned college credits toward your LPN/LVN program, you have INVALUABLE experience that will help you in ways you probably never imagined!!! \n\nSo heads up. But, one more tip before I sign off: If you are thinking about becoming an LVN, I suggest you also look into an RN program. This is probably going to work out better for you in the long run!!!!

You can definately try going to a depot store, like Home Depot, or Lowes, or any place like that where they use forklifts. But I'd believe some requirements would be: minimum of 18 years, got to pass your pee test[:-)], and you also would need minimum number of hours. I don't know though. Check with someplace like that.

Usually that stands for 1 credit hour.\n\n1 credit = 1 hour\n\nOr are you trying to determine the actual amount of time spent taking the course?

yes, you can. 12 credit hours is the minimun requirement for a full time student, when you cannot have this you may not be qualified for financial aid and scholarship.  But when registering, there is nothing to deal with your credit, but maybe a different time to register for courses ( for example, if you get 1 to 29 credit hours, you have to wait until 2nd, 3rd,4th students finish. In other words, higher grade can apply first).

Ask a fork lift driver where he got his training.   Most large companies with warehouses will train their own fork lift drivers and provide a way for them to get a certificate.

I have to do 8 hours a semester. I don't mind doing it but I think it should be something you can choose to do for credit no mandatory and many of us are older, raising families alone, and working full time. But I don't think I could fit in more than 8.

I varies from state to sate and some cities have other requirements, too. But six hours sounds about average and you will need Hepatitis shots too. Probably worth it if you really want the job or will work in the food service industry in the future. There are also management courses offered for a few more hours that will give you a step up when consideration for a promotion comes around.

There is a guide that college counsellors and administration types have that provides colleges with a listing of all training courses in the military along with how many credits are awarded for the course. It is prepared by the American Council on Education. It is titled "Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services" and most colleges have them on-hand. According to their online guide, all that is allowed is 2 semester hours for physical fitness.

If you are referring to a college course, credits and credit hours mean the same thing.  Usually a 3 credit course meets 3 hours a week for one term.  In any case, if you earn 3 credits, you need another 27 credits to meet the 30 credit hour requirement.

No need of certificate, unless you want to open a day-care in your house.\nYou don't need to go through another 4 year misery for permits. You just need 6 units of early childhood education (from most community colleges) to have a assistant teacher's permit. It's really easy. With the units, it's much easier to find a job, and you get paid better.

Lifeguard certification doesn't take long at all. The Red Cross course is generally taught over 2 weekends and involves 24 hours of class time and skills and whatnot. Jeff Ellis and Associates requires the same amount of time. To get further certified (open water like for a lake or beach) requires more classes but basic certification doesn't take long at all. If you call a local pool that has lifeguards, they'll tell you what company they contract with and how you can contact them. Certification is GENERALLY around $150 for Red Cross and $75 for Ellis.

Here's how it is in PA.  For the general residential appraiser's certification you must take 120 classroom hours related to residential and general appraisals.  Then you must find someone to apprentice with and complete a minimum of 24 months (2,500 total hours) of appraisal experience.  Then you sit for the state exam.
