South Coast College: CollegeSurfing.com Featured School of the Week - May 12, 2008

May 15, 2008 - PRLog -- When it comes to deciding whether to pursue a career education, the jury is never out. That's because the skills and credentials that career schools offer are specially designed to give you an advantage when moving into a different career.

Students and graduates of South Coast College already have all the evidence they need. Located in Orange, California, this career college had its start more than 40 years ago as the Stenotype School of Long Beach. Although the school still offers a comparable course in court reporting (which prepares you to transcribe court cases and meetings as they happen), the South Coast College of today focuses on providing students with the preparation needed to get started in the promising world of law -- and medicine.

In fact, this career college has a number of different courses that aspiring legal eagles and medical minds can turn to -- and depending on the program chosen, they can earn either an associate degree or a certificate. That's because, while some programs will prepare you to work in the thick of the field and therefore require more credentials, others will focus on only teaching specialized administrative duties within the industry.

For example, the paralegal studies program will prepare students for careers working with lawyers and dealing with intellectual property, immigration, and family law, while the legal administrative program will teach them how to manage the various affairs of a law office. The medical assisting program also gives students a chance at a hands-on career in the field of medicine by teaching them how to perform administrative duties in a medical office, assist in patient care management, and manage emergency scenarios and personnel; while the medical transcription program continues the focus on administration, by instructing students in the art and science of turning verbal medical reports into written transcripts.

During their enrollment at South Coast College, students will enjoy access to a number of high-tech and real-world focused classrooms within a 3,000-square foot two-story building. In addition to an auditorium, law library, bookstore, and steno machine repair shop, the career college notably boasts a mock courtroom, fully equipped medical classrooms, three typing rooms, and modern computer and medical transcription lab rooms.

Once you're done learning the right job skills in class, South Coast College goes the extra mile to make sure that you have skills to get the job. Its career services team helps students learn how to create cover letter, write-up resumes, and respond to interview questions like a pro. The career college will even assist you in finding a part-time position while you are in school, if you should need to.

If you're curious about how a medical or legal education from South Coast College will stack up, consider these credentials: this career college has been accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent College and Schools (ACICS) and has also been approved by such organizations as the Court Reporters Board of California, and the State of California Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education.
