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.

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.

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

Leadership Skills
CERTIFICATE SERIES
Leadership skills involve a series of
behaviors which enable one to

between leaders and followers and
help you get real, sustainable results
in the right way. The four courses in
this certificate will focus on providing
skills and knowledge to promote
success in your new role. As you learn
more about yourself as a leader and
gather insight into approaches which
create supportive leader/follower
relationships, you will be able to take
the information from each class and
apply it immediately in the workplace.
Participants will be integrated with
students enrolled in the Excellence in
Leadership Series which covers these
four topics as well as additional topics
relevant to leading others. Tuition

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

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

Communication The Key to Getting Results
Accountability and
Performance Management
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
to earn your Excellence in Leadership Certificate. Tuition includes a textbook.

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

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

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.

Meetings, Meetings, Meetings!
Work Smarter with Others
Consider this: If tomorrow, all your meetings at work were made optional, would you
still go? Would your employees? Come to this
interactive, dynamic session to look at what
works with meetings, what doesn’t, and how to
get better at structuring team time. We will play
with individual tools aimed to improve facilitation, including focused and fi rce conversations. We’ll dig into how Agile methods optimize meeting value and see examples of how
top performing companies meet. Participants
will have the opportunity to inspect their own
meetings and walk away with concrete ways to
help their own workplace.

Inspect and Adapt:
How to Improve Work
with Retrospectives
The Agile method of Scrum is revolutionizing work of all kinds, and one of the most
powerful elements of Scrum is the Retrospective. This meeting is a frequently recurring opportunity for teams to inspect and adapt the
processes they use to work. This session will
illuminate how any workplace or team can begin to ramp up organizational learning, experiment with improvements, and get on the fast
track toward ongoing growth. The session will
focus on achievable methods any person can
take regardless of position, and will be of particular interest to managers and leaders who
care about ongoing improvement in teams.

See it, Improve it: Visualizing
Work with any Team
Every workplace can improve, but many
find rapid results when they begin visualizing the team’s work. Visibility helps hold individuals accountable, improves communication, optimizes teams, and finds the often
painful constraints on a system. This session
will focus on exploring the tactical everyday aspects of helping a team visualize both the flow
of work and individual items. Drawing heavily
on Lean and Agile methods, this session will
feature both the why and the how, and show
online and offline tools as examples. Participants will work with their real life workflows in
order to take concrete actions back to their
own teams. We encourage attendance by several members from the same team if possible.

how they operate. In addition to looking at history and context, we’ll also explore the systems thinking and process control theory behind why Agile methods work well to solve
certain types of problems. We will contrast
Agile with other ways of working and help you
decide what makes sense to you and your
team and why.

This four hour UPC Chapter 9 course has two
components. The first component is a review
of Chapter 9 highlighting the code changes between the 2012 and the 2015 UPC and the
specific code sections that are used to size
vent piping systems, determine maximum vertical and horizontal lengths, vent pipe capacity
and sewage tank venting. 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

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.

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.

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

Plants need to eat before people and animals
can eat food. This workshop is a fun, interactive introduction to composting and soil science principles. Roots need to absorb available nutrients from the decomposition process
of organic matter, and we build organic matter
when we make compost. More than half of the
resources we discard in landfills are the food
and paper waste ingredients (green and brown)
for potential plant food. We’ll learn about affordable methods and designs easily used at
home, school, or work. Worms not included.

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.)

Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga Meditation
The sequencing for this class will explore
the opposing energies of solar and lunar
and how they relate to the body. Students will
learn how to create heat in the body using
breath techniques and a series of postures
that prepares the body for standing, balancing,
twisting, and building strength and stamina.
Afterwards, students will be lead through a series of stretches and restorative postures to
cool off and rejuvenate the nervous systems.
This six-week course provides a foundation
for practicing restorative yoga. Restorative
yoga is a supported, receptive style of yoga
done entirely on the floor, using a variety of
props to hold the body in postures for longer
periods of time. Students will learn restorative
variations of back-bends, forward folds, twists,
side bends, inversions, and the therapeutic
properties of each. Students will also explore
the many physical, mental and emotional benefits of restorative yoga.
Thai yoga medication combines restorative
yoga postures with classic Thai stretching
techniques. Each yoga pose provides passive
stretching through the use of bolsters and
other props. Poses are held for a few minutes
at a time, while the instructor provides manual
adjustments to deepen your experience with
each posture. All classes incorporate breathing practices and guided meditation.

The Potential of Local Food
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
