„Every scamp shall now sit behind his desk“.This greek saying, widely used to designate times when things get serious,applies very well to the Fall season. Scamps are also students released fromtheir obligations, who, at the end of the summer, have to return to them.

But when the student returns to the classroom,so does the teacher, and so does the training centre… Particularly if any ofits professionals are training to achieve and gain new certifications.

This is also the case at Bavaria’s EckertSchulen, a large centre for adult education that has already been the subjectof a prior article. The institution is continuing to take the methodical stepsthat will award it the official ECo-C Training Centre status. And, since thisinstitution is as commited to providing high standards of quality as IPKeurope itself, the steps are taken withmeticulous attention to detail, in a determined progression.

In October, for instance, Eckert Schulentrainers will be attending workshops under the aegis of Andrea Eisert, MasterTrainer of ECo-C Germany. Eventually, these will lead to the trainers becomingcertified to teach. Simultaneously, the institution’s sales and marketingdepartments are learning about the sales points of the certificate, the betterto integrate it among the organisation’s other offerings and market it topotential students and other interested parties.

At length, the institution will officially beawarded an ECo-C license on Certification Day, thus concluding the process onthe side of the two institutions. Then it will be up to the students to attend,learn, and spread the word further.
