Skill-Based TrainingMSC’s training programs are developed with input from Valley employers and their outstanding employees. In your program you will learn only the skills your future employers want you to have. Because our programs are skill-based and self-paced, you advance in your program as soon as you demonstrate a skill.

Classroom EnvironmentThe classroom environment at MSC is designed for student success. Our small class sizes mean you will receive one-on-one attention from your instructor and you will experience a rewarding collaboration with your fellow students. Working in hands-on lab environments that simulate the workplace, students gain the experience and confidence needed to get right to work after graduation.

Essential Skills TrainingEssential Skills ensures that you have a solid foundation for success in your program area. You will assess in up to seven areas relevant to your chosen training program: reading for information, applied mathematics, visual information, observation, listening, teamwork, and writing. If writing is important to the job you are training for, you may need to complete an additional writing task.

If you need support to reach industry levels, our instructors will help you bridge the gaps so you can advance to your program area as quickly as possible.

Soft Skills WorkshopsBecause hands-on job skills are just one characteristic of an outstanding employee, MSC offers Soft Skill Workshops to round out your training. Each MSC program is reviewed by an advisory board comprised of employers who describe the employability skills required in an employee. Soft Skills Workshops are tailored to meet those needs. Topics include ethics, values, diversity, communication, time management, teamwork, conflict management, and professional behavior.

Career ServicesThe Career Services Department supports students and graduates in the transition from student to employee. As you near graduation, MSC’s Career Services Job Readiness Workshop prepares you for job searching, interviewing, and resume writing. Career Services maintains job postings and employment resources, and our Virtual Career Center is available from any internet accessible location to assist you in everything related to your job search. Career Services also assists with intern/extern and apprenticeship opportunities when available. MSC graduates have lifetime access to Career Services resources.

Why MSC is Unique

“I chose the Skill Center because it’s a small school. I knew I couldn’t focus at a bigger school. I get to know everyone faster, and I get more attention from my teacher. That’s so important because it helps me manage my time.

I love everything about going to school here. If I could be a student here forever I would, because it’s so hands on, and it takes my mind away from the stress and things on my mind.” PRISCILLA OLIVASAESTHETICIAN PROGRAM

Business Office602.238.4347 | [email protected]

MSC’s Business Office maintains each student’s financial account. The Business Office determines the cost of your educational expenses in comparison with secured funding from financial aid or community resources. Students will work with the Business Office to make payment arrangements prior to the student’s program start date. In some cases, a down payment is required. MSC accepts cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Financial Aid (includes funding such as federal grants, loans, and scholarships), and funding from community-based agencies.

Financial Aid602.238.4398 | [email protected]

MSC Financial Aid Office is available to assist students seeking federal financial assistance to cover the cost of their education. To be considered for financial aid such as grants and loans, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Enter Maricopa Skill Center’s school code E00701 on the application.

Program CostsTuition at MSC is calculated by the number of hours you spend in class. These are called clock hours. As a MSC student you will clock in and out of your classes much like you would at a job, at a cost of $4.60 per clock hour ($5.60 per clock hour for Nursing).

Because our training programs are self-paced, students who learn quickly and demonstrate skills faster will use fewer clock hours, keeping tuition costs lower.

Tuition totals in this Career Viewbook are estimated by the average number of clock hours it takes to complete the program. The actual number of hours and tuition you will incur will depend on what pace you move through your program.

MSC’s Nursing, West-MEC Cosmetology, and Soldering programs are cohort-based and do not follow the clock hour model. These programs are assessed a flat fee for tuition.

“I love how I can finish my LPN program quicker and cheaper here. It wouldn’t make sense to get the same education for more money. I like how the instructors and staff here are very friendly, and the students here work together as a team.” HELEN BATESPRACTICAL NURSING PROGRAM


PRACTICAL NURSING Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) are an integral part of the healthcare team, providing patient care and emotional support for people in need. LPNs work under the direction of Registered Nurses (RNs) to administer medication and perform treatments. Being an LPN requires a lot of compassion, as it will be your responsibility to provide basic bedside care for patients who are

in need of nursing care. The Practical Nursing Program at the Maricopa Skill Center takes approximately 14 months to complete and combines nursing theory lectures with planned patient care learning experiences in hospitals, nursing homes and health care agencies, providing students with the theory and skills required to practice as a practical nurse in acute care, extended care, as well as other areas of nursing. At the midpoint of Block B, the student may qualify to apply for a waiver to take the Certified Nurse Assistant examination and be able to work as a CNA as they complete their program of study. Graduates become eligible to take the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX-PN) to become a licensed practical nurse (LPN) at the successful completion of the program. Employment is found in hospitals, clinics, home care, extended care facilities and nursing homes. CERTIFICATE NUMBER: 1500

JOB ROLES: Licensed Practical Nurse; Clinic Nurse; Office Nurse; Hospital Staff Nurse; Skilled Nursing Facility Staff Nurse.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: Applicants must attend the online information session, complete the application packet and submit it during the posted application acceptance periods, pass the HESI A2 entrance examination with a minimum of 75% in math and 75% in English Language component scores. (If an application has taken the NET test within the past two years, those scores will still be accepted and must be a minimum of a 50% in math and a 60% in reading.) The applicant must also obtain an unrestricted Fingerprint Clearance Card (FCC) prior to applying for the program.

“I saw that the class sizes were smaller compared to other satellite community colleges. So I knew I could get more one-on-one attention from the instructors. I came in and took the tour. I met the instructors. They went out of their way to get involved in my enrollment process. I think it was a good decision, a very good decision.

I like this course particularly because you have machinists who have been in the field for over twenty years that have come back for more training; you have fresh out of high school students. There are a lot of personalities and a lot of different ways to learn. If you really want to make a change and do something positive this is the place to be.” MARCO SALINAS PRECISION MACHINING PROGRAM

“It’s perfect not to have extra work or book work that has nothing to do with the career I want. Everything is focused on what I want to do. I love that it’s hands on, and still fun at the same time.” TY FREEMAN WELDING PROGRAM
