"When I began practicing dentistry I was eager to service everyone. After all, that is what doctors do. However, I had no management technology and found myself frustrated and stressed out. I was constantly looking for an answer to improve as a person and improve my practice. After being in the field of dentistry for six years and only getting by with great effort, I was introduced to the Hubbard Management Technology and began to apply it to my practice. I saw results instantly in myself and my practice. My stats sky rocketed."

Associate Degree: People Skills, How To Be An Executive

I am Alex Edwards, an American student from Tujunga, California on the Associate Degree Program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.
Doing the ìExecutive Basicsî 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 ìExecutive Basicsî Course, ensuring that you can use the tools perfectly. Once you get to the point where youíre 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.

Associate Degree: Valid Survey Questions Elicit An Emotional Response

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 ìMarketing and Public Relations Surveysî 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 ìMarketing and Public Relations Surveysî 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 somebodyís 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 ìyesî or ìnoî 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.

Associate Degree: Planning Course

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. Itís 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 donít 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.

Associate Degree: Management Tools

I am Alex Edwards, an American student from Tujunga, California on the Associate Degree Program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.
During the course of the ìFormulas for Business Success and Management by Statisticsî 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!

Degree Program: Marketing Apprenticeship

I did my Marketing Apprenticeship at Fresh Aire Duct Cleaning.
This was such a fun apprenticeship that I enjoyed so much and I learned a lot about the subject of ëMarketingí. Now I can promote and sell anything to the WORLD!!
First of all I needed to know about the product very well in order to sell it or promote it. If you donít know about your product very well you canít make any promo piece for it. You canít let the other people know about it. You canít sell it. Before I started this apprenticeship I wasnít aware about the air duct cleaning industry at all. So I needed to learn about it from the beginning and it was very interesting.
I went to the actual job site and observe the air duct cleaning service. I even went up to the attic with one of the employees and took some pictures of the employee who was cleaning the main air duct system with his tools. Now I know the air duct cleaning procedure very well. It was such a valuable experience for me.
Through this apprenticeship I realized something pretty cool. With the tech I learned from the Marketing course, I can promote anything and everything if I want to! 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 ìhome air duct cleaningî!
I really enjoyed this apprenticeship. Even though Iím 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. Iím 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!

Career Education: A Self Validating Curriculum

Where to beginÖ ìHow to Get Along with Othersî 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, itís 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 Iím being asked to study. The courses offered here are real business, the kind of business insights and tools that I donít think I would learn anywhere else.

Associate Degree: People Skills

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.

Associate degreeI 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.

Associate Degree: Business Expansion

Associate degreeI am Gloria Tieni Liu from Taiwan. I just finished the course “Ethics for Business Survival,” for my associate degree program.

This course outlines operating states (conditions) that a person or organization could be in that are below Non-Existence and the formulas to apply accordingly to raise him upwards. For instance, we might have an employee that cannot produce or that is in trouble all the time. No matter how many times you help him or how much effort is put into the training, he just doesn’t function correctly. This is because he is in a condition below Non-Existence. That’s why it’s so important to spot the right condition and apply the right formula for that condition.

The reason for applying the right formula for the right condition is to expand. It is not only the expansion of a business but also the expansion of an individual.

There is always a condition or operating state of existence. And as importantly, there is always a formula to apply that will improve that condition. If a person applies it, it will definitely work.

The data about conditions and formulas are really useful in one’s life. For instance, if I want to reorganize an area of my life, I determine what condition I am in and automatically I know what formula I should apply to improve that condition. I have experienced it and it really worked! Conditions and formulas are the most useful tools of administration that I have learned.

Associate Degree: Demonstrated Practical Leadership

Business peopleMy name is Fabian Padro and I am the CEO of Elite Management Group Inc here in Los Angeles California. I had the opportunity to have John Vannier and his team from Hubbard College of Administration do an apprenticeship to help our group and our client The Los Angeles Medical Center. John only needed to be told what was needed and wanted and he put together a program, which is a written sequence of actions necessary to accomplish an objective, and his team went to work right away.

On day one, John and his team organized our engineer’s area down in the
basement and got everything done in a timely fashion to the point where the engineer came up to me and said,“Hey these guys are great. I need to get a list of things ahead of time next time they come because they work so fast.” John and his team were always professional and came on time and never needed much guidance. In summary, you told them once and they got it done. I would highly recommend John and his team and the Hubbard College of Administration to any business owner.

My Best,
Fabian Padro

Associate Degree: Money Management

Associate degreeBy Josh Lin, a Taiwanese student from Taichung on the Associate Degree Program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

Finance is a subject everyone must deal with and care about and sometimes even worry about. In actual fact, it is not something really difficult or complicated nor is it something that will bring you hardship as long as you have the knowhow.

I just completed my “Financial Planing” course. I realized that many schools and people have made this subject so much more difficult than it should be. In this course I learned the fundamental and vital basics of finance that one should know if you are going to deal with it.  More specifically, this course elaborates how to deal with money, handle bills, sign checks, deposit money in accounts of different types, keep exact records, etc. These are the understandings that help people manage their finances, achieve solvency and good credit or maybe just have money to buy some leisure. These are the objectives that people spend all their time trying to achieve. It’s not a tough subject if you grasp the knowhow. But unless you get the key, you cannot open the door to solvency and financial success.
