GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION'S GUARANTEE:

Curriculum standards have been developed with direct involvement of business and industry.  These standards serve as the industry validated specifications for each occupational program.  These standards allow the Georgia system of technical colleges to offer their business partners this guarantee which is in effect for two years after graduation:

"If one of our graduates, educated under a standard program, or his/her employer finds that the graduate is deficient in one or more competencies as defined in the standards, the technical college will retrain the employee at no instructional cost to the employee or the employer."

SAFETY / EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:  These will be discussed during first class meeting and will include fire exit from the classroom, severe weather exit from the classroom, loss of electrical power in the classroom, and the location of first aid kits and fire extinguishers.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION:  No food or drink will be allowed in the classroom or lab at any time.  No children will be allowed in the classroom, lab, hallways or offices.
