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.
How will I benefit from earning a Certificate? Making the personal investment in a certificate shows your employer (or future employer) a serious commitment to your field and increases your value in the workplace. A certificate can give you a competitive edge in hiring or getting promoted. Over the course of a certificate program, many students have opportunities to work closely with instructors and fellow students, providing a valuable professional network for the future.
Certificate Programs save you money! Instead of taking individual classes, sign up for a certificate program, and take more classes for less money! Tuition assistance is available.

Most people do not like change even when they know that change is inevitable and will happen with or without your consent. A recent Gallup study found that nearly 70 percent of the American workforce is disengaged from their jobs. They perceive changes in careers to be too difficult to accomplish or they are too old, not skilled enough and may lack the funds to change their skill set. The good news is that those who are willing to embrace change are much more likely to thrive under new conditions.

A Taste of Agile (online)
Agile Metrics
Pediatric First Aid
Project management practitioners are embracing agile principles and practices as a technique for successfully managing projects because of the value that agile can have in decreasing product defects, improving team productivity, and increasing delivery of business value. The purpose of this course is to demonstrate the values of agile principles and practices, as well as how agile compares with the PMBOK Guide process groups and differs from traditional waterfall principles. Common terms are defined and the activities prompt you to identify how agile you may already be, and if PMI’s new PMI-ACP certification is right for you.
One common myth surrounding Agile practices is that they are not easily measured. This course will demonstrate several metrics you can use to demonstrate the value your Agile team is providing to your organization.

CONSTRUCTION TRADES 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. This class has been approved by the Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board for two hours of plumbing discipline.
2015 UPC Chapter 9 Vents This four hour UPC Chapter 9 course has two components.

The second component of the course will have the participants completing a number of multiple choice questions which deal vent piping topics listed above and completing three pipe sizing assignments. The questions and sizing assignments are taken up as a group at the end of the course. This class has been approved by the Iowa Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board for two hours of code and two hours of discipline.

2015 UPC Chapter 8 (online)
The subject of Chapter 5 is water heaters. Fuel-burning water heaters include natural gas, propane and oil. The Uniform Plumbing Code provides installation guides to insure that these appliances meet the needs of the user to provide sufficient amounts of hot water, operating efficiently. Other code considerations are preventing possible damage from future leakage and creating a safe work area around the heating units, should the units require service. This class has been approved by the Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board for two hours of plumbing code.
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 fixtures, they are used to protect the sanitary system from steam and hot water damage. The study of indirect wastes is not only a study of plumbing, it is a study of safety. This class has been approved by the Iowa Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board for two hours of plumbing code.

Journeyman Plumber with Gas Exam Prep Course (online)
Plans, Specs and Building Codes
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. This course was intentionally not set up in that manner. Instead, each set of questions concentrate on individual chapters, this is to give you a deeper depth of study of the specific topic that is being covered in each chapter. 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.
Are you a homeowner wanting to learn how to start a big home improvement project, or a contractor looking to hone your skills; this course will give an introduction to understanding architectural drawings, building codes and inspections, as well as getting the chance to work on those drawings for your project. Students will learn the basics of reading and creating plans, tips to developing material lists, as well as understanding building codes. Students will be introduced to Sketchup drafting software for use in creating plans.

Let’s Grow it Here: The Potential of Local Food
Let’s Eat! Vegetable Gardening Basics
Spanish for Customer Service (online)
Most of what we ate today was not grown in Iowa, and most of what we have discarded today could have been composted. This class examines the economic, cultural, and policydriven reasons why we import most of our food in an agricultural state, why we bury resources for potential plant food at the rate we do, and what is being done to reverse those local food production and food waste management trends. Closing the food loop advances our economic and food security.
From seed to harvest, this class covers a comprehensive overview of what to consider when starting or expanding a typical home garden beyond flowers to food. It all begins with healthy soil. From there, we will discuss mapping/placement, rotations, companion plantings, tools, watering, mulching, tilling options, thinning, weeding, organic methods, and season extensions. This is a fun and interactive class for both beginners and veterans.
Learning job-specific Spanish phrases enables businesses and their representatives to provide the Spanish-speaking community with exceptional customer service. As the Spanishspeaking consumer market grows with each passing year, it makes sense to learn how to bridge the communication gap and retain these loyal customers. From collecting basic information like credit card and customer contact information, to taking orders for products over the phone and in person, this course provides the tools you need to provide service to your monolingual customers.

More than half of the resources we discard in landfills are the food and paper waste ingredients (green and brown) for potential plant food.

The History of American Super-Heroes in Cinema and TV
Wild Indigo Coyote: House Cleansing and Blessing
Comic book super-heroes now flood American cinema and television, but this is nothing new. Their live-action escapades go back nearly eighty years in movies and on the small screen. These heroes leaped off the pages of comic books into the Saturday afternoon movie serial adventures of the 1940s with Captain Marvel, Batman, Superman and others. Their exploits continued with the Superman TV show in the 1950s, Batman in the 1960s and the Incredible Hulk and Wonder Woman in the 1970s. American super-heroes have provided the creative clay for movies, TV series and TV movies in every decade since, including today’s multi-million dollar blockbusters featuring Marvel and DC icons and TV series such as “Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Agents of SHIELD” and “Gotham.” Journey with a comic book expert into the legacy of super-heroes in cinema and TV – examining the good, the bad and the really bad – to learn about the rich history of this American mass culture phenomenon.
In this class we will discuss how to work with energy in an intentional way to cleanse and bless your home and your property. You will learn how to properly use herbs and stones to remove negative energy. You will have the opportunity to use various materials to make a smudging kit to take home. Materials fee $20.

Grave Topics: Angels in Stone – A Brief Course in Angelology
Grave Topics: Cemetery Crawl Day Trip
“He spake well who said that graves are the footprints of angels.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Angels are considered spiritual beings that guide and protect mankind, while interceding for him in heaven and acting as messengers of God. The belief in angels has existed since ancient times. Folklore and legends from around the world have numerous stories involving angel and human interaction. Most world religions that believe in one god share a belief in angels such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Zoroastrianism. Cemetery angels can indicate many feelings and beliefs depending on what they are doing and how they are doing it. Explore this 2-day class on cemetery angels and their meaning, as well as an introduction to Angelology. This class will look at angels in the Neolithic period, Sumerian angels, angels in ancient Egypt, Zoroaster’s angels, Celtic fairies, Buddhist and Hindu angels, and angels as pagan gods and goddesses. Several class hours will be spent looking at the Jewish angel hierarchy and what ancient Jewish sages have thought about angels including a look at The Book of Enoch and the Kabballah. The class will look at what angels mean in Christianity including medieval thoughts. A comparison will be made between angels in Christianity and angels in New Age beliefs and theosophy. The course will end with a look at cemetery angels and angels in art.
Spend the day with us on the Grant Wood Scenic Byway. First we will briefly stop at the ghost town of Buckhorn, Iowa where all that is left is an abandoned church, the remains of the old Buckhorn Creamery, and a cemetery. We will spend some time at the Buckhorn Cemetery which was established in 1839 and considered a pioneer cemetery. The oldest gravestone here is from 1823. This cemetery requires the ability to walk up and down hills. Next we will stop at the Tabor Home Vineyards and Winery in Baldwin. The Tabor Winery is Iowa’s first estate winery, with 5 generations using the farm for a livelihood. Tabor Winery offers a range of wines, including reds, whites, sparkling and dessert wines. Please bring your ID if you plan to sample the wine. After visiting the winery, our next stop is Pence Cemetery that was established in 1838. Tombstones here include those with weeping willow symbols; many tablet style tombstones; and obelisks with hexagonal sides. A few miles down the road, is the Antioch Cemetery. It is small but has a variety of tombstones including draped obelisks, vaulted obelisks with urns, shouldered tombstones and multi-hipped, chest-type monuments to name a few. We will conclude our day trip by stopping at The General Store Restaurant and Pub in Stone City for supper. To maximize your enjoyment of this day trip, it is recommended to have completed the following Grave Topics courses: Cemetery History and Tombstone Symbolism, and Tombstone Rubbing (but it is not a pre-requisite). Tuition includes supper in Stone City and Round Trip Transportation. It is encouraged that students bring their own food and drink to enjoy throughout the day until supper.

HOME & GARDEN Energy Efficient Home-Building You don’t have to build a tiny house to have tiny utility bills, and you don’t have to be rich to afford an energy-efficient home. This two-day course provides an excellent overview of what you need to know to build an energyefficient home, from upgrades costing only a few hundred dollars, up to a Net-Zero home. The first day focuses on design, space planning and the building science that make a home efficient. The second day focuses on building techniques, materials, performance testing, and how to manage lender appraisals. You’ll see and feel samples of alternative, high-performance materials and get a feel for how they work. New this year will be a discussion on small homes (under 1,000 square feet) and how they live bigger than they are. Small homes are in growing demand among people looking for less maintenance, homes that fit their budgets, or simply want to make a lower impact on the environment.

The History of American Super-Heroes in Cinema and TV Comic book super-heroes now flood American cinema and television, but this is nothing new. Their live-action escapades go back nearly eighty years in movies and on the small screen. These heroes leaped off the pages of comic books into the Saturday afternoon movie serial adventures of the 1940s with Captain Marvel, Batman, Superman and others. Their exploits continued with the Superman TV show in the 1950s, Batman in the 1960s and the Incredible Hulk and Wonder Woman in the 1970s. American super-heroes have provided the creative clay for movies, TV series and TV movies in every decade since, including today’s multi-million dollar blockbusters featuring Marvel and DC icons and TV series such as “Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Agents of SHIELD” and “Gotham.” Journey with a comic book expert into the legacy of super-heroes in cinema and TV – examining the good, the bad and the really bad – to learn about the rich history of this American mass culture phenomenon.

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.
