Hi all,
I had a few questions about how I should include a certification prep class I took a few years back in my 'Coursework' and 'Institutions Attended' begin/end dates on my PTCAS application.
I've taken 2 class at George Mason University over the years (one regular class and one certification prep class):
- In 2010 I took Organic Chemistry (which I included in the coursework section)
- In 2013 I took a 'Business Analyst Certificate Preparation Course'. I didn't get a certificate or a grade from this class but they did give me credit for it. It was just basically a month long prep course in case you want to take the 'Business Analyst Certificate Exam' from what I remember.
So, I've got 2 questions about this prep class:
1) Do I include this prep class in the Coursework section of PTCAS? (I assume this is a 'No')
2) Do I include this prep class in the calculation of my begin/end dates I attended George Mason under 'Institutions Attended'?
The problem I'm having is that I talked to one of the people at PTCAS and they said 'No' to question #1 (which seemed reasonable) but then they kept going back and forth on question #2. At first he said yes I should include the prep class in calculating my begin/end dates at GMU and then later in the conversation said no to it. So, does anyone know how I handle this prep class? Do I just basically ignore this prep class like it never happened as far as PTCAS is concerned (in other words 'No' to both questions above)? ... or should I at a minimum included in the begin/end dates I attended GMU and just leave it at that?
