Q: What colleges have the best athletic training programs?
What are some colleges with good athletic training programs? I am currently a junior in highschool and am intereted in majoring in athletic training in college. How many years do you have to spend in school to become a certified athletic trainer? Also, what types of courses would you recommend that an aspiring athletic trainer take in highschool? Thanks in advance.

A: Consider the University of Oklahoma

Q: How do businesses / corporations decide on which training programs to use?
I am doing a project for management consulting firm as part of my interview and I have no idea how businesses / corporations decide on which training programs to use, and how they get to know of such programs. I know a lot of it is by referral, but I am interested in finding out of there are trade shows and other kinds of event marketing that can work. Are there things like Human Resource conferences where HR professionals gather and a marketing event might be a viable form to reach out to them? Thanks in advance for your answers.

A: Cold calls, brochures and mailings, recommendations from golfing buddies, referrals from others in the industry. I would say mailings (brochures, and course catalogs) are #1 for us. Some of those mailings come from companies that got our address from the CEO or HR personnel who attended a conference on new HR laws, mixers, trade shows, etc... If it is a big head shrinking process like an efficiency program with personality profiling or manager communication training, there would be lots of meetings to decide which way to go before making a commitment. Much of the selling would be done in those preliminary planning meetings.

Q: What are top businesses that offer excellent training programs for new employees?
I am recent business grad and I would like to get into management. Any ideas?

A: GE comes to mind. Great training programs, the saying goes "GE trains the world." P&G is another.

Q: How legitimate do you think those at home training programs are?
I took the Private Investigator course from one of those but I am not even doing that type of work.In Tennessee , where I live, you have to be licensed and it costs like 150 bucks to take the state exam.But I know in some states you don't have to be licensed.Anyway I'm now going to school for welding.

A: Just another scam to get cash out of your pocket!

Q: How hard is air force OTS compared to other officer training programs?
What do you do there? How hard is it to get a specific MOS?

A: Its the zoomies, nothing is hard in Air Farce! You should have heard the wailing and gnashing of teeth when they had the audacity to institute a physical fitness test. What is your status, are you in the USAF, thinking of getting in? Why do you want to be an officer? What specialty do you want? Its all relevant and relative. Talk to recruiters (use lots of salt), check the websites, etc.

Q: In Singapore, do many companies offer graduate training programs?
If they do, what time of the year do graduates usually apply for these jobs? Any advice would be great, Thanks!

A: In what discipline? What do you mean by a Graduate Training Program? Given the lack of information in your question, I assume you are a recent graduate that wants to put your academics into the real world. My only suggestion is you apply for an intern position for a company related to your field of study. That opportunity exists primarily in finance, but if you have exception grades in other fields you might find something. If you want to carry on with the idea and will provide more details you may email me.

Q: Are there any hand to hand self defense training programs for an old out?
I have a bad back and two bad knees. I have heard of some kind of gripping type of martial art that allows one to fend off assaliants. PLEASE ADVISE! Old out - I am guessing there is somrthing wrong with the file I create with this question is saved to as it is not transmitting correctly. I should have read old of shape semi disabled guy?

A: I can fairly say that there won't be much programs that is easy on your aching body. I'm study and some-what theorize contemporary fighting arts, and a green belt instructor in MCMAP in the Marines, which is a form of contemporary fighing as well. According to human dimensions, you'll be limited in fending against assailants, as when fighing, blows or kicks coming at you are understandably unpredicable. There a many grapplings, but some require extra movement to place your attacker in a pinned position. Someone with martial arts experience around your area probably willfully work out your limitations in order to find what is suitable. As a fellow martial artist myself, I do expect to be swept off my feet and slammed to the ground at moments. My point is that in order to be capable of fending off any attackers, you have to expect and prepare yourself in a manner that requires more than grappling. What I suggest, is go to a local Krav Maga instructor or school, they have extensive lessons on grappling. Krav Maga is an interesting and effective martial art. I believe they'll be suitable for your finding - they'll find what your range of ability is limited to. NOTE: Sorry for classifying you as 'limited', I had a injured knee [due to shrapnel, rocks or whatever the hell dislodged my patella (kneecap)], I regarded myself as "Marine: limited edition" for the time being.

Q: What are the top five American Sign Language Interpreting Training Programs in the USA?
I am looking to get a bachelor degree in American Sign Language Interpreting. I need to know what the top five schools are. I have seen the results of some local 2 year programs that leave a lot to be desired. I want the best.

A: There are several good programs across the country. Gallaudet is great, but they only offer admission to hearing students for the MA degree by recommendation. Getting in as a hearing undergraduate is almost impossible, and not easy with a 99% deaf undergraduate population, (they aren't always super friendly to hearing students). CSUN has a large deaf population (about 250-300 students) and a solid interpreting program. You also can get a BA in Deaf Studies there. There is a school in Minnesota, St. Cathryn's (sp) that offers a degree in Interpreting, they specialize in medical interpreting. Really, there are tons of good programs, but it just depends on how much you put into it. The best way for you to become a good ASL interpreter is to, along with an ITP, socialize with deaf people! You need to be as fluent in English and ASL as possible before and as you start interpreting. Good luck!

Q: Do management training programs (such as Target, Sherwin-Williams, and Walgreens) hire liberal arts majors?
Will management training programs, like those at Target, Sherwin-Williams, and Walgreens, actually hire liberal arts majors with little business experience? I am a Political Science major and I have taken two business related classes: Microeconomics and Statistics. How do you like working at Walgreens? Does it pay around $30,000? Are their opportunities for advancement?

A: Yes, they do. I have a BA in English with a minor in political science, and Walgreens hired me after I graduated for their management training program.

Q: What kind of jobs out there provide free and paid training programs?


A: Public sector jobs are famous for that eg the military, civil service, state government, local government etc. Worked all my life for the government, and they paid for my college education (not that in my day, and where I went, it was that much anyway). Thanks Bill

Q: Is it possible for the U.S. Army to allow a soldier to go through multiple elite forces training programs?
I know people out there that are physically capable of enduring physical and mental punishment from military training. I'm talking about going through Special Forces, Rangers, Delta, Recon Marine and Navy SEAL training. Would the military allow it? And only answers from current U.S. military personnel or veterans of the U.S. armed forces please.

A: It would be quiet possible to say enlist as an Option 40, go though the RIP. Then go on to complete the SFQC and then CAG selection. You could still be young enough to leave and re-enlist in to the SEAL challenge program or in the Marines with an aim of becoming a Recon Marine and eventually MARSOC. Would you do it? No, most guys are pretty happy at the top of the tree and dont want to leave just to come up better in d*ck measuring contests.
