Doing the Executive Basics apprenticeship brought about fantastic results. You get to drill many scenarios where you are the executive in charge, and you have to make things go right when they are definitely going wrong. You get to actually think with what you learned in the Executive Basics course, ensuring that you can use the tools perfectly. Once you get to the point where you’re drilling the scenarios perfectly, you really see the difference between doing it with the executive basics tools versus doing it without those tools. It is quite a significant difference indeed.

The final part of this apprenticeship dealt with me being in charge of a small group operation that lasts from 5-10 hours. I had to manage three people and get them to get the work done. It was a non-trivial test of my skill as an executive. Not having managed a structured operation like this before made me very excited. I was eager to apply all of the tools that I had garnered in my earlier courses here at Hubbard College of Administration. Specifically, my task was to get 70 surveys of the correct public for a construction company done within a 5-10 hour timeframe. My team and I managed to get all of them done in just over 5 hours. I was able to make the operation run smoothly while simultaneously keeping my juniors interested in getting all of the surveys done within our time allotment. As a result of our success, I feel completely able and competent as an executive, and I feel that I can handle even larger projects without a sweat.

I am Damiano Shehu, an Albanian student from Tirana on the Associate Degree Program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.  I recently finished the Marketing and Public Relations Surveys Apprenticeship.

I had a great time during this apprenticeship. I learned that surveys are not only fun but very useful for a business too. By applying the data I learned on the Marketing and Public Relations Surveys Course, I was able to get a great result. I got the buttons, which are the answers that were given the most number of times to each survey question. In addition, I was able to determine the positioning, which is the placement of the product in somebody’s life or mind and in relation to other products, based on the buttons.

When you survey people you get various types of responses. What conventional survey takers usually look for is a yes or no type of question. These types of questions do not bring about an emotional response. It is extremely crucial to be able to get an emotional response.  Once you have an emotional response from your survey question, you can use that answer in your promotion.

I think that this apprenticeship was great, and I would suggest it for anyone that works in promotion and marketing.

I am Hiro Suganuma, a Japanese student from Yokohama on the Associate Degree Program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.  I did my Marketing Apprenticeship at Fresh Aire Duct Cleaning.

This was a fun apprenticeship that I enjoyed so much. I learned a lot about the subject of marketing. Now, I can promote and sell anything to the WORLD!!

First, I needed to know about the product very well in order to sell it or promote it. If I didnít know the product very well I couldn’t make any promo piece for it. I couldn’t let other people know about it, I couldn’t sell it and before I started this apprenticeship, I wasn’t aware of the air duct cleaning industry at all. I needed to learn about it from the beginning, and it was very interesting.

I went to an actual job site and observed the air duct cleaning service. I even went up to the attic with one of the employees and took some pictures of the employee cleaning the main air duct system using his tools. Now I know the air duct cleaning procedure very well. Marketing wise, it was such a valuable experience for me.

Through this apprenticeship, I realized something very useful. With the Administrative Technology I learned in the Marketing Course, I can promote anything and everything I want! I can get the result very easily without having any problems. I can create want for any kind of product from any public! The Administrative Technology is very simple and amazing.

I did a survey of the company’s public to determine the basis of my marketing efforts. I designed a promo piece based on the survey result. The owner of the company liked it very much. She printed 10,000 copies of it for the company promo campaign. One of the sales ladies started using my survey result as part of her sales presentation over the phone. After a week, she had achieved the highest ever statistics for weekly sales! 

I really enjoyed this apprenticeship. Although I was an apprentice, it was very heartening to see the humongous effect I created in the business, using my newly attained marketing abilities. This experience increased my confidence concerning my knowledge. If one looks at the world, one sees a lot of misunderstood technology (for example, inept promo pieces and PR campaigns). Iím sure that my products are more effective than some marketing companies. I will continue to improve my skills in the years to come!

In modern day industry, businesses look for people who can get things done–not just stand there asking questions but actually get what is asked done. It is hard to believe that all businesses hire the right people to work for them, based on the contents of a resume. Granted what one knows is important, but what one can do is vastly more important.

The How to Evaluate and Predict Human Behavior Apprenticeship utilizes tools that can help an employer find right people for employment and get their on-going cooperation. As my first step of the apprenticeship, I drilled various scenarios that could come up in the employer employee relationship.  For instance, what would I do as a senior when a junior who has juniors inhibits his juniors from doing things that they thought vital to their success. In addition, I had to think of questions that I could ask applicants in order to find out if they would help the company expand or cause the company to shrink. I used the data learned in the course as the basis for my questions.

On the final task of this apprenticeship, I had to manage two people on a small project for a few hours, keeping them productive and cooperative. I managed the distribution of 100 brochures of a bridal gown & costume designer to local businesses, utilizing her two sons as my team. Using what I learned from the course, I was able to manage my juniors with ease and got the entire project done within the given time frame. Below are success stories from the business owner and my juniors.

Success Stories from My Team

I had a lot of fun doing this task with Alex and my brother. Alex really handled us well and kept us producing. He was very easy to agree with and lead us in a professional manner. What was very cool to see was that he was able to get my brotherís cooperation in helping us. He is usually shy about these things and Alex was able to actually have him walk into a business and confront them. They accepted the brochures and my brother ended up having a large win on this and wanted to help more without us having to do anything to persuade him. Another great thing about doing this was that it helped my mom out a lot, I know that she has been wanting to get these brochures sent out for awhile but since she has to make the dresses and I cannot drive anywhere it had not been able to be achieved. Thanks to Alex this cycle finally got finished and it couldn’t have been done any better. I would work with him again anytime. —Josh Gluck

At first when we started handing out the brochures I was a little reluctant to actually do the work. Alex noticed this right away and talked to me and got me to cooperate without force or criticism, I actually had wanted to do it. I walked into a floral business and told the lady there that I was working for a designer and asked if I could leave some bridal brochures for her customers to see and she said ìyesî cheerfully. I had a large win on this and felt eager to do more and I felt more confident in my ability to communicate with others. I want to thank Alex for this win and I would work with him again for sure.  —-Aaron Gluck

Success Story from the Business Owner

Alex came to do another apprenticeship for me. I had him and my two sons deliver brochures to local businesses. They were given 100 brochures to hand out with a target of 10 businesses. Alex did this task swiftly and got the product. He even got my shy son to go in and talk to the businesses about leaving the brochures in the stores. He said that after Aaron did it once, he then said that he wanted to do more. I was very happy about this. Alex is professional and shows up when he says he will. He is knowledgeable in the task that he is about to undertake and does it with certainty. It is a pleasure to work with Alex.  —Debbie LaFranchi

As you can see this apprenticeship prepares one to be able to handle others with ease and keep them efficient.

On a broader scale, the information included on choosing the right people for a job could be applied to governmental positions. Using these tools, senators, governors and even presidents could be correctly chosen. The people who would hold these positions as a result would make optimum solutions for their governing area. The areas would experience not only prosperity but peace as well. It might seem a little far-fetched to some that this data could bring about such dramatic and positive changes in societies all over the world, but it is a truth that can be validated. This tool about human evaluation and prediction is one of the most powerful and vital tools available to man.

I had huge success with

I completed Policy course and I realized that no matter how small an activity is, there must be a BASIC PURPOSE. You keep your BASIC PURPOSE and you are moving toward your GOAL. Because the BASIC PURPOSE is also somewhere you are trying to achieve.  I can say that someone works with BASIC PURPOSE and make sure he always goes with it, then he must see the result – the whole activity will flourish and go into affluence.

So, how to make the above happen? There must be something that can help. It’s policy! Policy is a rule or procedure or guidance which permits the BASIC PURPOSE to succeed.

Some business fail, maybe the only reason is that nobody in the office follows the policy or they don’t even know they have policy or even they donít have any policy. Then, when they have any situation, no matter how small it is, they just have no clue of handling it and they wind up with a collapsed company.

I believe nobody want to reach failure and everyone wants to win. Now you have technique – Policy. Apply it and forward your BASIC PURPOSE. Now you know your ideal scene is waiting for you and your life will be successful.

During the course of the Formulas for Business Success and Management by Statistics apprenticeship, you make huge positive changes in your life and the life of others. You figure out exactly what you are producing and what operating state that activity is in. You actually set yourself a production assignment (quota) on each of your products and then list out all the steps necessary to make that quota a reality (targets). While you are doing this, you are applying the formula which corresponds to the operating state the activity is in which will result in your production moving up into a new realm as measured by your statistic, which is a number or amount compared to an earlier number or amount of the same thing, for that product.

As a result of this apprenticeship, I achieved certainty and confidence in my ability to scale graphs correctly as well as determine the correct length of time in which to manage production. Also I could easily tell what operating state my production activity was in and, as a result of that, apply the precise condition formula indicated to improve the situation.

As one of the tasks in the apprenticeship, I had to look at all the key things I was producing in my life, then apply what I had learned on the two courses mentioned above for three weeks in order to increase the production of those key things. My application consisted of keeping graphs, applying condition formulas, implementing quotas and targeting for each of the main products in my life. As a result, I achieved increases in all of my statistics. I could see that through intensive use of this data I can keep my statistics increasing and, should they fall, remedy the situation right away. I have to say that I have never been so productive before in my life, and it was all due to applying this data. It has amazing value and I will surely keep using it because after all Iím striving for growth, not non-existence.

The best part of this apprenticeship was helping an executive of a small business increase her sales. She had been having trouble keeping her sales in a viable range and just couldnít seem to change the situation. I went to her business and helped her determine which operating state her production was in based on her statistic. Next, I helped her plan out the exact steps she was going to take to raise her production (targeting) as would be measured by an improved statistic.

While helping improve the small business ownerís production, I began to see how different it is to help another raise her statistic in comparison to my own. With my own personal statistics, it was a lot easier just to discipline myself and make all of my targets, but with someone else I really had to make sure that they got her targets done in order to raise her statistic. After a couple weeks, her stat had gone up, and she was very happy that I had shown her these tools. Iíve kept in touch with her and her sales are still up in comparison to before. I now feel totally confident that I can help anyone increase their production as measured by increased statistics through the management tools of managing by statistics and formulas for business success!

I can get the result very easily, without having any problem. I can create want for any kind of product, from anybody! The tech is very simple and amazing.

I designed a promo piece based on the survey result and the owner of the company liked it very much. They printed 10,000 copies of it for their promo campaign. One of the sales ladies started using my survey result when she was closing the sale over the phone. After a week, she achieved the highest statistics for weekly GI of home air duct cleaning!

I really enjoyed this apprenticeship. Even though I’m an apprentice, it was very nice to see the humongous effect I created on the actual business, using my newly attained Marketing abilities. This increased my confidence concerning my knowledge. If you look at the world you will see a lot of misunderstood technology, promo pieces and PR campaigns. I’m sure that my products are more effective than some current successful marketing companies and will continue to improve my skills in the years to come!

Where to begin?  How to Get Along with Others is my first apprenticeship. At first I was apprehensive about doing an apprenticeship, but was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out. Although the courses are great and awesome, it’s the apprenticeships that provide the proof that what one is learning actually works.  The experience of the apprenticeships releases any and all doubt about the workability of what you are studying. That type of validation is what a student like me needs to continue studying and learning. I am now more eager to go through courses and as a byproduct of this increasing confidence in the applicability of what I learn, I am more curious and interested in what I’m being asked to study. The courses offered here are real business, the kind of business insights and tools that I don’t think I would learn anywhere else.

The HCA is a self-paced business school that offers an exceptional business administration curriculum, unique learning technology, life-changing internships, assistance with job placement and a lifetime warranty for students.  I am currently wrapping up the How to Get Along with Others apprenticeship.

I am Toby Grim, an American student from Phoenix, Arizona on the Associate Degree Program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

I had a good time working with Fabian. I’d met him before and he was always a cool guy so I was thrilled to work with him on this “Handling the Ups and Downs in Life” Apprenticeship.  I’m glad that I could help him realize a few things about his situation that he hadn’t realized previously. He said he was having wins throughout reading the material; that was really cool to be a part of.

From the subject:

Toby was great and professional. His knowledge of the material was excellent. The success I had was on the ARC Triangle (A= affinity, R= reality or agreement, C= communication). Although I had gone over this ARC Triangle thousands of times, I learned something new about intention and how if the person you are trying to handle has no intention of hearing you or listening to your advice it can create an upset.
