H.O.T. CERTIFICATE Heavy Construction Equipment Operator Certificate - NEW Construction equipment operators drive, maneuver, or control the heavy machinery used to construct roads, bridges, buildings, and other structures. Construction equipment operators use machinery to move construction materials, earth, and other heavy materials at construction sites and mines. They operate equipment that clears and grades land to prepare it for construction of roads, bridges, and buildings, as well as airport runways, power generation facilities, dams, levees, and other structures. Construction equipment operators work in nearly every weather condition. Workers often get dirty, greasy, muddy, or dusty. Most work full time, and some operators may have irregular hours. Some construction projects, especially road building, are done at night. Employment of construction equipment operators is projected to grow 19% from 2012 to 2022, faster than the average for all occupations. Spending on infrastructure should generate many new jobs for construction equipment operators. Workers who can operate multiple types of equipment should have the best job opportunities. The median annual wage for construction equipment operators was $40,980 in May 2012. Harford Community College will be using the NCCER curriculum on Heavy Equipment Operations.

H.O.T. CERTIFICATE Landscaping/Grounds/Gardening Technology Certificate Landscape technicians perform various gardening and lawn maintenance duties in order to turn outdoor spaces into functional or attractive areas. They also maintain residential and commercial landscapes so they remain healthy and trim. The nature of the work is often laborious and requires significant physical effort. Although formal education is generally not required, landscape technicians may opt for certifications to increase their employment outlook. In addition to creating landscapes and outdoor areas, landscape technicians maintain them as well. Pruning, mowing, edging, trimming, fertilizing and watering are done by landscape technicians. They may spray plants, trees and grass with pesticides to control destructive insects and diseases. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) stated that landscape technicians/grounds maintenance workers were expected to see a 13% increase in employment from 2012-2022, which was about average. Job prospects were best in regions where the weather allowed for year-round landscaping and gardening. Grounds maintenance workers earned a mean yearly salary of $31,720 in May 2013.

Lockout/Tagout “Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)” refers to specific practices and procedures to safeguard employees from the unexpected energization or startup of machinery and equipment, or the release of hazardous energy during service or maintenance activities. This requires that a designated individual turns off and disconnects the machinery or equipment from its energy source(s) before performing service or maintenance, and that the authorized employee(s) either lock or tag the energyisolating device(s) to prevent the release of hazardous energy and take steps to verify that the energy has been isolated effectively.

REGISTRATION RESTRICTIONS

1. Enrollment in Continuing Education courses is limited to those 16 and older, except for courses that specify they are open to those under 16. 2. Non-citizens must provide original documentation (most current resident card, work card, or visa) to register. Students must register in person at the Continuing Education Registration Office in Edgewood Hall. Please note: Non-citizens who have never taken a credit or noncredit class at HCC must go to the Credit Registration Office in the Student Center the first time they register. 3. The College prohibits the enrollment of individuals listed on the National or Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services Sex Offender Registry or with the Harford County Child Advocacy Unit.

CURRENT MAILING ADDRESS

Students are responsible for maintaining a current mailing address with the College. All address changes should be reported to the Continuing Education and Training Office. If a student owes a debt to the College and does not maintain a current mailing address, that debt will be sent to a collection agency without further notice to the student. In this event, the student will owe an additional collection fee.

PAYMENT

Payment for all Continuing Education courses is due at the time of registration. Failure to pay will incur a debt to the College that must be paid whether or not you attend the class. To avoid receiving a bill, please call 443-412-2376 before the class begins in order to process a drop.

RESIDENCY SURCHARGE

Out-of-county residents (except senior adults, disabled retired students, and students receiving a Maryland National Guard member tuition waiver) pay a $20 surcharge per course for each Continuing Education course that charges course fees. If you were an outof-county resident at the time of your last registration and have since moved in-county, you must complete a Student Statement of Domicile for Tuition Purposes form and provide two forms of identification in order to have the $20 surcharge waived when registering. You may obtain the form by calling 443-412-2376 or visiting the registration desk in Edgewood Hall. Appropriate forms of identification include a driver’s license, voter registration card, or utility bill showing name and Harford County address. All out-of-state residents pay a $35 surcharge per course for all Continuing Education courses that charge course fees. Material fees, where applicable, are the same for all students.

HARFORD STUDENT ID

All students will be assigned a Harford student identification number. The H-ID begins with a capital H followed by eight randomly assigned digits. HCC will still need a Social Security number for certain mandated business functions; however, it will be used on a limited basis and kept in a secure environment. Because students will need to use the H-ID for College business transactions, students are required to know and remember their H-ID.

Failure to pay at the time of registration will incur a debt to the College that

PAYMENT must be paid whether or not you attend the class. To avoid receiving a bill, please call 443-412-2376 before the class begins in order to process a drop.
