What is a Certificate Program?
A Certificate Program is a series of courses providing in-depth study, so
you can get the most up-to-date skills and information you need to excel
in your chosen field. A certificate shows you’re committed to a deeper
understanding of your industry beyond what an individual course or
workshop provides. Some certificates are preparation for accreditation
exams, meet state mandated requirements, or have been developed in
partnership with area employers.

many students have opportunities to work closely with instructors and
fellow students, providing a valuable professional network for the future.

Tame Your
“Too Much To Do” List!
Many entrepreneurs feel like they’re going
at full speed and getting nowhere fast. Others are so overwhelmed by their “Too Much To
Do” list that they become paralyzed. What do
both groups have in common? Frustration, disappointment, and a yearning for the results
that have so far eluded them. Successful entrepreneurs are able to identify and commit to
doing the right things the right way at the right
time. In this pedal-to-the-metal session, you’ll
begin working through five steps that enable
you to join those successful entrepreneurs.
Whether you need to slow down so you can get
off that busy-but-not-productive hamster
wheel, or you need to break out of inaction and
start moving forward, this session will propel
you into the fast lane of exciting results.

Leading Through Change
Understanding Leadership
vs. Management and Why Each Matters
Change is no longer the exception in the workplace, yet a high number of workplace changes
fail before full implementation. Change creates
a reaction among even your highest performing employees which has the potential to derail
the success of your organization. Guiding yourself and those you lead successfully through
change requires a specific set of leadership
skills. We will study approaches leaders can
use to improve the chance that teams will successfully navigate change. In the process, you
will explore how people tend to react in the
midst of change, how to diagnose employee reaction and how to adjust leadership approach
to best meet employees’ needs and guide
them through the change process. This is the
seventh course in a series of eight courses to
earn your Excellence in Leadership Certificate.

Understanding Leadership
vs. Management and
Why Each Matters
Leadership in today’s workplace requires a
combination of skills and behaviors in order
to realize success. Leaders must balance the
need to manage day to day activities while using critical skills to lead their teams toward
realizing a common vision or purpose. Both
leadership and management are critically important to organizational success, yet each requires very different skills. During the course,
you will review the evolution of leadership,
come to understand the different functions of
managing vs. leading, and focus closely on the
skills which are most important to your success as a leader. Specific discussion of the
role of influence vs. power as it relates to aligning others to accomplish a common goal is a
central theme within this course. This course
is the first in a series of eight courses to earn
your Excellence in Leadership Certificate. Tuition includes a textbook.

Accountability and
Communication is often talked about as an
important leadership skill, but what does effective communication look like? In today’s
workplace, leaders are often called upon to
engage their employees in transitions of focus,
processes, and direction. Communication and
your ability to influence and inspire action is
perhaps the most important building block in
the process of leading others. You will learn
techniques to communicate in order to inspire
the team to deliver results. You will explore
listener focused communication while concentrating on what the listener needs to hear to
spark behavior change. You will also explore
the adjustments required to communicate with
team members in the same location as well
as those across the globe. This course is the
third in a series of eight courses to earn your
Excellence in Leadership Certificate. Tuition includes textbook.
Accountability, when proactively created, fosters a sense of ownership among employees
and ensures desired results are achieved.
Leaders create accountability when expectations are clearly and specifically communicated and results are acted upon. Results can be
both on target and off target and leaders must
take action in both scenarios. Learn about the
steps you can take as a leader to increase likelihood that your team will deliver expected results, how to course correct when necessary,
and how to follow up on outcomes with your
employees. We will also explore the basic elements of your role in managing performance
through techniques and documentation. This
is the sixth course in a series of eight courses

The predictable, and often distracting, focus on the generational divide is a recurring myth that arrives on cue every 20 years.
And it predictably creates barriers – metaphorical bricks in the wall – that distract us from
what actually connects us. The workplace isn’t
changing simply because one generation has
come of age while another has grown old. It’s
because we collectively – regardless of age
and experience – have evolved. Rather than
focus on one segment of the workforce we
should turn our attention to the changing nature of work itself and the evolution of the employee. In this session, we explore the value of
turning away from the ‘generational divide’
and, instead, focus on practical ways to leverage shared values, goals and interests to create organizational value and personal satisfaction in the workplace.

Leading Others Through
Organizational Change:
Strategies and Insights For
Managerial Success
Woodrow Wilson said, “If you want to make
enemies, try to change something.” Undoubtedly, periods of organizational change
are some of the most challenging, and potentially rewarding times for managers. This engaging, interactive session is focused on providing practical, take-home strategies for
managers helping employees through organizational changes. Explore common stages that
individuals and organizations go through when
facing change and understand the difference
between “change” and “transition,” and why it
is important that employees recognize the difference during periods of organizational
change.
Every day we make decisions and solve problems. Despite making numerous decisions
every day, many of us are still uncomfortable
making conscious decisions. In this course
you will learn to identify and define problems,
learn tools and techniques to solve problems
and understand how to think critically. Time will
also be spent understanding group dynamics
as they apply to decision making and problem
solving, as well as learning how to utilize decision support tools that can aid in decision
making. Tuition includes a textbook and course
materials.

Personal Effectiveness:
Managing Energy, Time and
Technology for Maximum Impact
Our ability to have the impact we desire depends largely on our ability to manage the
moments: the emails, tasks, roles, and responsibilities we manage on a daily basis. During this interactive workshop, we will explore
how managing our energy, time, and technology allows us to be more productive and happier
along the way. Participants will learn how managing energy, rather than just managing time,
increases effectiveness and fulfillment, different ways to prioritize the “important” over the
“urgent,” even in a high-intake world of emails,
phone calls, reminders, alarms, text messages, and an unlimited list of things to do, how to
say “no” in order to say “yes” to the things that
matter, how to use technology in a way that
supports rather than stifles us, and the role of
effective decision making and effective delegation.

Team Transformations:
Lost in the Middle - Why the
Best Strategies Often Fail
Too often, well-intended, well-defined and
well-communicated strategic initiatives
lose coherence, morph and ultimately get lost
in middle layers of organizational bureaucracy
between those that created the strategy and
those tasked with carrying it out. This informative and engaging talk challenges participants
to think about team transformation in a new
and exciting way. Combining business, sociological and psychological theories with the
practical and tactical actions being used right
now to help organizations outperform their
competition. ‘Lost in the Middle’ bridges the
gap between theory and practice and dives
into the ‘I.C.E. Principle’, focused on driving
performance through Innovation (how to think
differently), Collaboration (how to work differently) and Engagement (how to sell more to
more people, more often), all while harnessing
the power of human connections to ensure
widespread strategic success.

Water Pipe Sizing
for Plumbers (online)
This online course covers the most commonly
used UPC method of sizing water distribution
systems as described in Code sections 610.7
- 610.9. This is the sizing that will be used
in the course you are beginning. It should be
noted that the Uniform Plumbing Code offers
three other ways to size water piping systems.
Appendix A is useful in sizing larger systems,
especially if the water supply fixture units and
length limits in Table 6-6 are exceeded. Appendix L allows for separate fixtures in a bathroom
to be sized as a group. This allows for large
apartment complexes and condos to be more
economically sized. Footnote three in Table
6-5 permits fixtures, in branches that are supplied with both hot and cold piping, to be assigned 75 percent of their Table 6-5 values.
The benefit, in larger installations is cost savings that could result from smaller pipe sizes
being required. The authority having jurisdiction should be consulted before using any option other than the standard sizing method.

Indirect wastes are required, in certain situations, to insure that equipment and fixtures
are protected from unsanitary conditions that
could result from being directly connected to
the sanitary drainage system. It is critical that
fixtures and equipment used in the preparation and dispensing of food and beverages
kept free from contamination. Stills and sterilizing devices present another challenge to
the plumber. Indirect wastes not only protect

Journeyman Plumber with
Gas Exam Prep Course (online)
This course is designed to help you become
more familiar with the Uniform Plumbing Code.
This is accomplished by asking a series of
questions. To receive the greatest benefit you
should take the time to find each answer in
your code book. Do not guess. The answers to
these questions, as well as the answers that
you will need when you take the Journey Plumber Test with Gas, will be from the 2015 Uniform Plumbing Code, not what you may or may
not practice in the field. The knowledge and
skill you gain from this course will be based
on the effort that you put into it. Each set of
questions are based on a specific chapter of
the code book. In the actual journey plumber
test, the questions are random and result in
a wider search area of the code book for each
answer. An advantage of an online class is that
you can work at your convenience and at your
own pace. However, the journey person test is
timed and this luxury will not be there.

EKG Technician Training Program
Meet the demand for cross-trained health professionals by adding EKG skills to your
resume. Our comprehensive 60-hour EKG Technician Training Program prepares you
to function as an EKG Technician. An EKG technician is a medical professional trained
in operating specialized equipment used to measure the heart’s performance. Technicians work directly with patients, administer the test and provide the resulting data to
physicians for analysis. Electrocardiogram (EKG) tests are critical in helping doctors
determine heart health problems in patients. EKGs check the electrical activity of the
heart to access heart rhythm, rate, strength and timing. They can be used to check the
heart’s general health and electrical activity, and to look for signs of heart disease,
heart attack, effects of medication or causes of unexplained chest pain.
This non-credit course includes important practice and background information on the
anatomy and physiology of the heart, medical disease processes, medical terminology,
medical ethics, and legal aspects of patient contact. Students will practice with EKG
equipment and perform hands-on labs including introduction to the function and proper
use of the EKG machine, and other clinical practices. There is no externship component;
all preparation is through lectures, online learning and hands-on training (labs).
Prerequisites: Minimum 18 years of age with high school diploma or its equivalent. Prior to registering,
all students must take the COMPASS reading placement test by contacting the Kirkwood Community
College Test Center at 319-398-5456 in Cedar Rapids or 319-887-3642 in Iowa City. Applicant must
achieve a passing score of 76 to be considered eligible to register for the EKG Technician Training
Program. After receiving their assessment score, the applicant must contact the Program Director at
319-398-5626 to complete the registration process.
A certificate of completion will be awarded upon successful completion of the EKG Technician Training
Program and students will be prepared to sit for a certification exam, which is included in the cost of the
course. Textbook provided for in-class use (must be returned at end of course.)

Electric Cars:
Fun and Economical
Electric Vehicles (EVs) like the Nissan LEAF
or Chevy Volt run on electricity. EVs have less
than 75 percent of gas car maintenance while
being quiet and exhilarating to drive! Buying
electricity is like getting fuel for $1/gal. With
solar panels, you can make your own, clean,
car energy. The instructor spent $4200 for 25
years of solar car “fuel.” A used electric car
can cost about $10,000 with very low miles;
the perfect second car! Come prepared to ask
any question. Explained by renewable energy
author Marc Franke, driving on solar electricity
since 2013.

Haunting and Investigations
Grave Topics: Cemetery History
and Tombstone Symbolism
Learn the basics of what a haunting is and
the different theories behind haunting activity. Understand the different classifications
of haunting, and a breakdown of entities and
spirits that can be encountered. Discuss the
differences between what is shown in the media and in real life, and also how ghosts are
perceived from culture to culture. Due to the
intense nature of the course, students must
be 18 or older.
Cemeteries are fantastic open air museums that teach us about the past and provide beautiful examples of art and sculpture. In
this class we will examine the history of ancient and modern cemeteries, gravestone art,
and symbolism from the 17th, 18th, and 19th
centuries. We will look at what gravestones
can tell us about attitudes towards death and
dying, and how they have changed over time by
looking at inscriptions, epitaphs, motifs, and
morphologies. We will look at funeral customs
during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries including funeral and cemetery etiquette today.

Chimney Swifts. So as to not disturb the nestling before they fledge, the swift family will
be observed through camera and a monitor.
They will be quite active as they practice short
flights inside the chimney. Weather permitting,
a tour will be taken of the Bickett-Rate farm. A
