Program Feat ure:

Advance Your Career With Project Management Training Project Management (PMP®) Certification is one of the most marketable credentials for government organizations, DoD contractors and job candidates. Feedback from students in both the intensive16-hour exam prep course and the full 35-hour exam preparation course has been very positive. “The PMP® certification exam prep bootcamp at the Gate does exactly what it says. It prepares you and sets an expectation as to what knowledge and test-taking skills are required for the exam, while also providing the opportunity to discuss as a class our real-world experiences.” IT systems analyst Lee Magny traveled from Columbia to the Performance Training Center in Aberdeen to complete the PMP® exam prep course with instructor Mary McNally.

Contact Pam Karwowski at pkarwowski@harford.edu or 443-360-9108 for information about quality, cost-effective PMP® training at several Harford County locations including the Performance Training Center on APG.

Known for her down-to-earth style, Mary shows people how to simplify complex problems and make effective decisions. She has been involved in biochemistry, IT, HR, real estate, training, and telecommunication projects. “When I teach a PMP® certification exam prep bootcamp, I provide students with information that can be used in their professional setting every day as well as what they need to pass the PMP® certification exam.”

Making Money w/Online Auctions

In today’s economy, an import/export business could be your ideal choice for a small business. A small company can profitably sell abroad what it markets, and goods imported from overseas can be offered for sale in the U.S. for a substantial markup.

Students will determine what products to offer, learn where to locate suppliers and outlets for their products and will be introduced to government regulations concerning import/export.

Our three course lunch includes a choice of soup of the day or salad, a choice of three entrees (Carolina crepe with pulled pork, shrimp and grits, or crab cake) and a choice of dessert.

American Profiles: NEW Betsy Patterson Bonaparte, “Duchess of Baltimore” Long before Baltimore’s Wallace Warfield Simpson married into British royalty, Betsy Patterson entered the imperial family of Napoleon Bonaparte by marrying his youngest brother, Jerome. Alas, it was not to be a lengthy marriage since Napoleon rejected the match and eventually convinced his brother to seek a new wife elsewhere. Betsy spent a lifetime seeking a throne for her son and entrance into European society for herself. Sadly, she spent far too many years alone in Baltimore, a city she professed to hate. Along the way, she shocked proper Americans with her risqué dress and became a fast friend to Dolley Madison. Tuition: $19 Sessions: 1 Course: 45663 J.

American Profiles: NEW Thomas Paine - The Controversial Founding Father

American Profiles: Patrick Henry The First Founding Father

Pamphleteer, inventor, diplomat, controversial hero of two revolutions, Thomas Paine has been called “Benjamin Franklin on steroids”. His close friends included Franklin and Jefferson, and his writings, especially Common Sense, endeared him to much of revolutionary America. Later he played a role in the French Revolution, nearly losing his head in the process. He returned to America at Jefferson’s invitation where his later writings alienated most of his earlier supporters. When he died in 1809, only six people attended his funeral.

As the American Revolution approached, Patrick Henry was America’s greatest orator and one of its finest lawyers. His passion for liberty made him one of the first to call for America’s independence from Great Britain, and his leadership brought many others to the cause. Later, that same passion led him to oppose his nation’s new Constitution. Known for his motto “Liberty or Death,” a common jest at the time, many proposed that with his 18 children, Henry, and not George Washington, was the true father of his country.

American Profiles: Samuel Adams New England’s Voice of Liberty When John Adams went to Europe, he had to keep telling people that no, he was not the famous Adams. That honor belonged to his cousin, Samuel, who spoke early and loudly about independence from both Parliament and King. His role in the Boston Tea Party is famous, and when King George III sent men after America’s most annoying revolutionaries, leading to military action at Lexington and Concord, Samuel Adams and John Hancock headed his list.

Model Railroading: Module Construction A module is a portable section of table-top structure, one part of a large group of like tables, which when assembled form a large and fully operational model railroad. Modules are proving excellent for people with limited home space for a model railroad, yet who also enjoy a large layout. This course discusses module construction standards plus building techniques for table construction, electrical wiring, track laying, and scenery. Students will build their own 4’ x 2’ module (compatible with National Model Railroad Association standards) with the goal of operating a full model railroad by the final night. Course fee covers wood framing materials but not scenery and detailing costs. Prerequisite: Model Railroading I or permission of instructor. Tuition: $75 Sessions: 5

Advanced Rider Course This course is the civilian version of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s military sport bike course, but it can be taken on any stock street legal motorcycle. It is a course designed for experienced riders. For the purposes of this course, an experienced rider is one who has the basic skills and is a current rider with a motorcycle license. The Advanced Rider Course is designed to compliment and build on the skills learned and practiced in other rider courses. Special emphasis is given to self-assessment, risk management, rider behavior, riding strategies, and overall skills development, particularly in braking, cornering, and swerving techniques. This is a brand new class, being offered at HCC as one of only 4 locations within Maryland. Students use their own bikes and get feedback from very experienced instructors. A motorcycle license is required. Recent real time mileage on a personal motorcycle is a must, and students must be able to demonstrate good basic skills to be allowed to continue. The class covers 3 hours of classroom instruction, a break for lunch, and 5 hours on the range. License, registration, and insurance will be checked before class. Parental or guardian approval, in writing, is required for participants under age 18. Personal motorcycles must be street legal, in good operating condition, and pass a routine pre-ride check given as a part of the course. Because of the high level of traction required, the riding activities will NOT be conducted if the riding surface is wet. The classroom activities will be conducted and the riding portion rescheduled for another time. During the riding activities, each rider will be evaluated by the instructors on their ability to accomplish the riding objectives. Riders who cannot demonstrate minimum riding proficiency will not be allowed to continue or should consider enrolling in the Basic Rider Course 2 (BRC2).

Returning Rider Course The Returning Rider Course (RRC) is designed specifically for those riders who were active motorcyclists at one time and want to refresh their skills before “returning” to the street on two wheels. You may be considered a “Returning Rider” if: you have a Class “M” license; you are over 30 years of age; it’s been several years since you’ve ridden a motorcycle on the street; you are between motorcycles and want a refresher before buying a new bike; or you participated in the Basic Rider Course over 3 years ago and received a Class “M” license. This course is NOT intended for a novice rider who is learning to ride for the first time. Prerequisites for this course include the ability to: coordinate clutch and throttle use to control the motorcycle smoothly; upshift and downshift smoothly; stop the motorcycle properly at a designated point; and negotiate normal roadway turns. During the first riding exercise, you will be evaluated based on the prerequisites. The first part of the exercise is intended to allow you the opportunity to get familiar with the training motorcycle and reintroduce you to the primary controls. Even if you have been out of the saddle for an extended period of time, you should remember. The second part of the exercise will provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your skills in straight line riding, shifting, and stopping. If you are not able to show minimal proficiency in motorcycle operation, you will not be allowed to continue in the course. This does not necessarily mean that you will not be able to re-enter motorcycling, but that you should consider enrolling in a Basic Rider Course, which would provide additional time for skill development. The RRC is 8 hours long and consists of 3 hours of classroom and 5 hours of riding activities. It is designed to reacquaint a rider with riding a motorcycle and familiarize him/ her with changes in the motorcycling world

Between April 19, 1861 (The Baltimore Riot of 1861) and April 21, 1865 (Lincoln’s funeral train leaving Baltimore for Illinois), the B&O stood witness and participated in the greatest conflict the U.S. has ever faced and changed the course of American history. The second stop of the tour includes one of the oldest and most complete surviving metropolitan railroad station buildings in the country, Camden Station. Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards has restored the Gentlemen’s Waiting Room to its original luster.

Chestertown’s history dates to the early 1700s and only Annapolis has more 18th century homes than Chestertown. We’ll explore this charming river town, unblemished by a heavy hand of commercialism, starting with a walking tour that includes the historic sea merchants’ homes on Water Street along the river and the Geddes Piper House, which today is a museum. Lunch is at Brooks Tavern which many say is Chestertown’s best restaurant. Our three course lunch includes a choice of soup of the day or salad, a choice of three entrees (Carolina crepe with pulled pork, shrimp and grits, or crab cake) and a choice of dessert. After lunch tour the kitchen and have a conversation with the chef. There will be time to shop and explore the quaint shops of Chestertown and/or visit the Custom House with an audio tour. Because of the size of the restaurant, there will be two seatings for lunch: 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Lunch times will be assigned on the bus.

Ford’s Theatre and Lincoln’s Cottage

NEW

Washington, DC Thursday, October 27 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM President Abraham Lincoln struggled throughout the Civil War to preserve the Union. He lived long enough to see it maintained—but not long enough to help in healing the wounds left by the war. The theatre where Lincoln was shot and the house where he died are preserved today as Ford‘s Theatre National Historic Site to teach us of these events, to remind us of troubling times this Nation passed through and to encourage us to perpetuate the aspirations, the hopes and ideals that Lincoln held for the United States. The second part of our trip includes a visit to Lincoln’s Cottage. Located on a picturesque hilltop in Washington, DC, President Lincoln’s Cottage is the most significant historic site directly associated with Lincoln’s presidency aside from the White House. During the Civil War, President Lincoln and his family resided here from June to November of 1862, 1863, and 1864. During your visit, you will assume the role of President Lincoln’s cabinet members and recreate the heated discussion of Lincoln’s preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on July 22, 1862. The program is conducted by a museum educator, and won a Silver MUSE Award from the American Association of Museums for its innovative use of educational technology. Course fee includes travel by motorcoach, admission to Ford’s Theatre and Lincoln’s Cottage, participation in the award winning program “Debating Emancipation” at Lincoln’s Cottage, and academic escort.

UPCOMING PROGRAMS OF INTEREST

Civil Rights Tour March 2012 “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. ” Thomas Jefferson’s stirring words, written in 1776 in our Declaration of Independence, defined the promise of America-freedom and equality for all. The words rang hollow, however, for the millions of African Americans held in slavery prior to the Civil War, and later denied political, economic, educational, and social equality by unjust laws and social customs. This trip tells the powerful story of the heroic campaign we call the modern civil rights movement. The places we visit are the actual sites where these events occurred – the churches, schools, homes, and neighborhoods – where the battle was fought.

The College’s out-of-county and out-of-state residency surcharge is waived for courses meeting eligibility for a Maryland National Guard waiver, but the student is responsible for all other course fees.

Senior Adult Tuition Waiver Maryland residents 60 years of age or older at the time of registration are eligible for a tuition waiver for some noncredit courses. These courses are state-funded and will say “Senior adult and disabled retiree tuition waivers apply” in the course description. If the course description contains this statement, senior adults do not pay tuition costs for the course. Course fees, however, must be paid in full. Please note that for all courses there is no out-of-county surcharge for senior adults.

Disabled Retiree Tuition Waiver Any resident of the State of Maryland who is retired from the workplace by reason of total and permanent disability is eligible for a tuition waiver for some noncredit courses.

Maryland National Guard Dependents Dependent spouses and children of a member of the Maryland National Guard and Maryland Air Guard may request a tuition and fee waiver when a Guard member is called to active duty for a minimum period of six continuous months of service. Eligibility for the waiver for a given semester will be determined by the military status of the Guard member as of the date of the start of a regular fall or spring semester or the start of the first summer session. Eligible students must provide a copy of the spouse’s/parent’s military orders to active duty along with the dependent military identification card.

Security Tips • Do not engage in conversation with people who make you feel threatened. • Being alone and under the influence of alcohol and drugs makes you more of a target to assailants. • Never drive (or ride with anyone) under the influence of alcohol and drugs. • Lock vehicle and store valuables and books in the trunk or out of sight. • Walk with others to and from class when possible; there is safety in numbers. • Use well-lighted areas and walkways.

HCC Crime Statistics*

• When walking to or from your vehicle, scan the area for suspicious subjects. If something makes you uncomfortable, walk to an area where other people are. • If you are confronted by an armed assailant, the decision to comply or resist is a personal one. Any property you may have is not worth your life. • Keep your keys ready when approaching your vehicle to reduce the time it takes to enter. • When driving at night, keep your doors locked and windows up. • When stopped at a traffic signal, maintain space between you and the vehicle in front of you so you can pull away if necessary. • Trust your intuition.
