In our Information Center you will find general information about our school as well as some the many benefits of becoming a Meadowmark graduate.  Please see our Contact Us page for information on contacting our school regarding enrollment or answers for any questions you may still have.

 

Meadowmark is different from school such as Cuyahoga Community College and Cleveland State.  The average age of our student is between 35 and forty years old.  Our program is 400 hours long.  That only takes between 12 and sixteen weeks and is often accomplished while working part time.

 

People come to Meadowmark because they need to improve their employment opportunities as quickly as possible.  Over the past twenty years graduates have found better employment by enrolling in our 400-hour teacher-led training program.  We get right down to the business of teaching you what you need to know to manage all of the basic requirements of the office environment.

 

At the end of the program you will have earned a certificate in the use of the Microsoft Office® programs of Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint.  These programs act like the four legs of a table upon which all business activities are carried out.  Text, graphics, spreadsheets, and databases drive the information process in our work world today.  If you can use these programs to their full advantage you will be able to out-produce other job candidates and command the kind of salary that is given to productive workers.

 

None of us know from where our best work opportunity may appear.  Our course of study is general enough and adaptable enough to give you the competitive edge you need to qualify as the most attractive candidate for a wide variety of job offerings.  Our training also provides you with the foundation you need from which to build additional skills in specialized areas of interest and opportunity as well.

 

Typing Prerequisite

You should be able to type about 20 words a minute before taking these classes.  We can work with if you are a slow typist, but you will be required to put extra time into typing practice since it is essential that you can type comfortably in an office environment.  We practice typing every day for about an hour.  In this way our graduates can type 40 words per minute upon graduation and many students learn to type much faster.  Being a fast typist is a powerful incentive for an employer to hire you because a fast typist is more productive than those who struggle with the keyboard.

 

Do I Need a High School Diploma or GED?

There are many office jobs that only require that you know your software and can type 40 words per minute.  For these reason you do not need a high school diploma or GED to enter our program.  You are, however, strongly encouraged to have one since your rate of pay may be seriously diminished without one.  Many students pursue their GED in the evening after their computer software studies.

 

Where Are You Located?

We are located at the corner of 18th and Superior in Downtown Cleveland.  This is on Superior right across the street from the Cosgrove Center and the Welfare Building.  We are in the main floor of the Thomas J Unik Building in suite #152.  Before you come down for the first time be sure to call us first at (216) 210-4429 so that we can direct you to the proper entrance and where to park.  The 326 bus stops right at the corner of 18th and Superior and runs quite often.
