The Adult
Services program at HFM BOCES is designed to provide adults with
training opportunities for career and personal development.
Current offerings
include:
•
Licensed Practical Nursing:
The
Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) Program prepares students for
the rewarding field of nursing. Because there is a shortage of
nurses nationwide, jobs are plentiful and average salaries are
in the range of $30,000 per year. Interested students should
have completed biology and maintained excellent attendance. In
addition, students must be scheduled to take the required LPN
pre-test. To register for this test, call (518) 762-4633 ext.
164 or (518) 762-4651 ext. 7-3131. If the test results predict
success in the LPN Program, an interview with the prospective
student will be scheduled. Through an articulation agreement,
students who successfully complete the LPN Program may be
eligible to transfer credit to the Registered Nursing (RN)
Program at Fulton-Montgomery Community College in Johnstown.
•
Commercial
Drivers' Training:
Would you be interested in earning $33,000 per year the first
year on the job? How about a job with great benefits that allows
you to see the country without your boss looking over your
shoulder? If this sounds good to you, change your life by
training to be a professional truck driver through HFM BOCES.
Our program is approved by the Workforce Investment Act (WIA)
that allows eligible dislocated workers to have all or part of
their training paid for by state and federal funds. The CDL A
Tractor Training Course offers up to 35 hours of training for
the NYS CDL Class A Road Test. Classes are individually
scheduled days, evenings and weekends. The CDL B course includes
training in handling hazardous materials, air brakes and
commercial driving rules. Students are prepared for testing and
CDL A and CDL B licensing by the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles.
•
Computer
Technical Support Training A+/ NET+ Certification:
Students are
trained to create, upgrade and support existing computer systems
in a hands-on environment. Students complete modules in PC
System Servicing, PC Troubleshooting and A+ Certification Test
Preparation. This international certification program is
recognized as the gold standard for the IT industry. Students
who attain A+/Net+ certification are more likely to attain a job
in the IT field because employers are confident the prospective
worker's knowledge has been formally tested. In addition, the
credibility associated with these certifications is a great
attribute in today's global economy.
•
NET +
Certification:
Students learn to install and maintain local area networks. The
course covers Windows NT Server 4.0, Peer-To-Peer Network,
Volume Sets, RAID, and more. Students prepare for the NET +
Certification Test. (A+ Certification is a pre-requisite).

Getting to the top in the field of fashion requires personal
drive, some business sense and lots of imagination, plus a
training program designed to develop your full potential. The

you are just starting out, re-entering the job market or
upgrading your salon skills to accelerate your career. Training
