NEW TECHNOLOGY 

CERTIFICATES 

Continuing Education Keeps 

Your IT Knowledge Current 

In today’s competitive job market, employees 

must stay on top of cutting edge 

innovations and changes within industries 

if they want to succeed. Many individuals 

have looked to their employers for additional 

training and education in hopes 

of gaining new skills to keep up with 

the demands of growing industries. Students 

like Scott Smith know that the bar 

has been raised among 

workers, and employees 

are making it a priority to 

seek out more intensive 

education opportunities 

to help them learn the 

next innovative product 

or tool. For the first 

time, Bellevue College 

Continuing Education 

partnered with Bellevue 

College main campus to 

offer a Virtualization & 

Storage course that is a 

credit/non-credit class geared toward professionals 

seeking a college-level learning 

experience. 

Like most technology-related jobs, 

working as an IT Solutions Architect at 

IBM means that Scott is constantly on 

the lookout for the next product he can 

learn to help him “expand his skill base.” 

Working professionals look for a classroom 

experience that can benefit their jobs 

almost immediately. “It was a hands-on 

environment that allowed me to try, play, 

and learn things,” says Scott. One of the 

biggest impacts on his day-to-day work 

“It was a hands-on 

was, “Gaining the confidence to work on 

upcoming projects, which was the result 

of doing the readings and applying the 

concepts to the weekly labs where we 

were able to use the product.” 

The credit/non-credit class brings 

unique discussions and perspectives that 

make learning meaningful for both degree 

seeking and continuing education 

students. “The give 

and take, spontaneous 

discussions, and Tom’s 

experience in the industry 

went beyond what 

the book could teach.” 

Technology classes differ 

from others because, 

“A good instructor can 

make all the difference 

in whether or not you 

gain a solid understanding 

of the topic. Having 

a virtual environment 

you can access from home is important 

as well,” says Scott. In an industry that is 

ever-changing it is beneficial to, “Keep 

your knowledge current. The industry 

has changed several times throughout 

my career and it is hard if you get behind. 

My skills are valuable because of taking 

classes.” Scott Smith is a student of Bellevue 

College Continuing Education and 

has taken classes in technology and world 

languages. For more information about 

technology programs, visit www.BCconted.com/ce/technology-classes. 

environment that 

allowed me 

to try, play, and 

learn things”

Technology Certificates this fall. The certificates kick-off fall

curriculum with be offered in winter and spring quarters.

Social Media Strategy 

That Gets RESULTS 

NEW! 

According to a recent Gallup poll, 65% of the people 

surveyed felt Social Media was ineffective for their 

organization. With traditional media on a path to 

extinction, what can a business or organization do

media but to create a strategy and plan that drives 

“Word-of-Mouth on Steroids” for the company… 

reducing the cost of sale and getting your customers 

to do the marketing for you. This leverages the 

power of Social Media and uses the tools as the 

channel of distribution, rather than the focal point.

results, what it takes to create such a strategy and 

how you can use it to grow your business and create

A Holistic Approach to Business: Lean Boot Camp 

Wouldn’t it be nice to do more business with less? 

Instructor Tom Fabrizio knows the key to increasing 

productivity and growing a business is dependent 

upon effective and efficient processes. Bellevue 

College Continuing Education is excited to begin 

offering the Lean Boot Camp taught by distinguished 

instructor, Tom Fabrizio, who has been teaching leadership, 

team development, and mastering the art of 

Lean Systems for over 30 years. Tom is currently the 

President and founder of Lean 

Manufacturing Tools, co-founder 

of the Northwest Center for Performance 

Excellence, co-founder 

of The Institute for Performance 

Excellence, and teaches the Lean 

Certification program at Portland 

State University’s Professional 

Development Center. The 

Lean Boot Camp is for anyone 

who wants to explore and learn 

a new way of doing business that 

incorporates efficiency, corporate 

values, and people. 

Tom’s passion for Lean training 

comes through in his telling 

of the Lean history, “It was 

coined by an article in the MIT 

Sloan Business Review about the Toyota Production 

system. Lean revolutionized manufacturing and 

developed a system everyone started to adopt. One 

tenant was to remove obstacles and reduce waste in 

the process, which allows you to reduce costs and do 

more with less. The whole philosophy caught on right 

after WWII after helping companies rebuild after the 

war.” There is more to Lean than simply buttoning 

up processes and removing waste. “Providing value 

to your customer is the other piece of this,” says Tom, 

who prides himself on taking a holistic approach to 


and Improvement 

Identifying, developing and applying processes and 

process improvements are critical components of 

successfully managing projects. In this class, acquire 

skills to develop and implement processes that are 

critical for project success. Other topics include 

creating process flow diagrams and applying those 

skills to develop a change management plan using 

industry tools, techniques and best practices.

Management or equivalent. Fee: $229

“The Lean Boot Camp is 

teaching Lean principles. Fabrizio says that one of the 

greatest benefits of the training is, “being able to go 

implement improvement projects right away.” Tom’s 

philosophy about teaching Lean highlights that, “It’s 

important to get going. Start learning by doing.” He 

also points out that, “It’s not just about the tools, but 

about how you use them correctly with people,” in 

sharing how he presents the Lean Systems concepts. 

Having the confidence of implementing a tried 

and true system can make all 

the difference in managing a 

new way of doing business. Tom 

brings with him the experience 

of being trained by first-generation 

experts into the classroom 

and emphasizes a “learn by doing” 

approach to teaching. Students 

can expect Fabrizio to use 

a lot of simulation of processes, 

very interactive teaching, and 

the use of case studies and case 

examples to provide real-world 

context. The training is multimedia 

with lectures, exercises, 

PowerPoint, and video. Fabrizio 

says the benefits to students 

will be, “gaining skills that are 

beneficial to themselves and their companies, and 

that are very sellable and in demand by hiring 

managers.” Benefits to the organization are, “the 

ability to be more effective and have more efficient 

processes, save costs, and be able to serve their 

customers better.” What more could you ask for? For

Telling Better Stories 

NEW! 

Some photographs can pull us instantly through 

time and space into moments we would never be 

able experience otherwise. They invest us in those 

moments, infer their meanings and help us relate. 

When they manage that, when they somehow 

transport us past the mere notion of ‘what’ and 

into those deliciously nuanced realms of when, 

why, and how, photos become far more than image 

alone. They become ‘story.’ Give yourself the gift of 

becoming a better storyteller. Join masterphotographer/storyteller, 

David Perry as we explore the ways 

that imbuing pictures with story makes them more 

powerful, more fascinating and ever so much more 

memorable. Fee: $195

— A STUDENT IN ELAINE 

DIETRICH’S ART 

AND SOUL CLASS. 

From Passion to Profession: 

The New Digital 

Photography Certificates 

The art of photography touches the 

lives of many through the lens of a photographer 

with a vision for telling a story. 

The new Digital Photography Certificate 

is a specialized program designed to 

provide aspiring and 

experienced photographers 

with tools and 

credentials that will 

enhance and nurture 

your photography 

skills. Every artist has 

a personal style that 

helps distinguish their 

work from the work of 

others, and our expert 

instructors will help 

you hone your unique 

style through handson 

projects and activities. 

The certificate 

helps students realize 

their goals, whether it 

is “to become a practicing 

professional or proficient like one,” 

says instructor Ray Pfortner. One of the 

best things about the Digital Photography 

Certificate is the credentials of the instructors. 

Tom Hefferan began his journey at 

Bellevue College Continuing Education as 

a student of photography and has been 

teaching for over 10 years. Tom says, 

“The certificate program brings all of the 

information you need about photography 

together. It’s a program for photography 

lovers taught by lifelong learners.” Tom’s 

passion for photography started out as 

a hobby taking photos of his family and 

friends, and grew into a career that he 

enjoys and looks forward to sharing with 

his students. 

Instructors come from many backgrounds 

and all have unique perspectives 

that bring a diverse set of teaching styles 

for a well-rounded learning experience. 

Some are self-taught, while others have 

been students of the Bellevue College Continuing 

Education Art & Design program. 

Ray Pfortner has worked in the photography 

industry for over 20 years, in New York 

City, California and Seattle, representing 

10 National Geographic photographers 

along the way. He has been teaching for 

over 10 years at Continuing 

Education with 

classes in every subject 

area, and his goal is 

to teach people to do 

more photography and 

sustain them for a lifetime 

with their skills. 

According to Ray, “The 

most important reason 

to pursue the certificate 

is that it offers a 

prescribed course of 

study that will make 

anyone a well-rounded 

photographer. It will 

give you the foundation 

you need. It focuses 

on the best of all the 

programs out there.” 

The beauty of the Digital Photography 

Certificate is in its flexibility and customization. 

The certificate is structured so 

that students will take a required set of 

foundational classes that make up the 

basic certificate. Students also have the 

option to pursue additional courses that 

enhance the general certificate with added 

expertise in a chosen area. You can also 

pair specializations together to form a 

Professional Photography Certificate in an 

area of your interest like, Professional Event 

and Portrait Photography or Portraits and 

Advocacy. Whatever your interest in photography 

may be, the Digital Photography 

Certificate offers the skills and training you 

need to turn your passion into a lucrative 

career or hobby. Visit the Art & Design

46 TELOS 

A Journey from the 

Past to the Present 

A lesson in history focuses solely 

on the past, but in the TELOS courses 

taught by Dr. James Maynard you will 

journey from past times to present 

day as he looks at the progression of 

society and culture. Jim’s own history 

is one for the books with extensive 

credentials and experiences that have 

given him a well-rounded perspective 

on life and how it has evolved. 

Dr. Maynard grew up in Chicago and 

attended the University of Chicago 

Laboratory Schools where he received 

his BA with an honors in anthropology. 

He went on to earn his 

M.D. degree at McGill 

University, with a later 

Master’s Degree in 

Public Health and a 

PhD. in Epidemiology. 

His educational journey 

is impressive in 

itself, but what really 

sets Jim apart is his 

passion for using his knowledge and 

experiences to help with international 

public health. Maynard brings his lifelong 

experiences to the classroom and 

offers students a look into the how, 

what and why of history. 

A current student of the TELOS program 

greeted Dr. Maynard during our 

interview and said that his classes are 

full of “controversy and are fabulous.” 

The inspiration and admiration of a 

well-respected peer and instructor 

Dr. Maynard’s classes have 

been described as full of 

“controversy 

and are 

fabulous.” 

was a delightful moment to see. Dr. 

Maynard is a traditional instructor 

who does a substantial amount of 

preparation for his classes, “I do a lot 

of research and teach level 300 to 400 

type seminars that are rich in historical 

context.” His last class was titled, 

“Education in America – From Revolutionary 

Schools to Charter Schools: A 

Critical Assessment,” which discussed 

education from the colonial period to 

no child left behind. You can expect to 

receive a syllabus from Dr. Maynard, as 

well as a learning experience “that uses 

history to illuminate 

contemporary events.” 

One of the many 

benefits of taking 

classes with Dr. Maynard 

is his passion for 

researching the learning 

styles of seniors. 

“My wife is an education 

counselor, and we 

are both interested in understanding 

how seniors learn best. I use images 

and written content to supplement 

teachings, visual and auditory stimuli, 

as well as lectures to describe what is 

going on and to encourage questions 

and group discussions.” If you are looking 

for intellectually stimulating classes 

that mirror community college level 

courses, look no further than Dr. James 

Maynard’s courses.

Meet Translation & 

Interpretation Instructor 

Caitilin Walsh 

Ten evenings per year. It doesn’t seem like a huge 

time investment, but they are some of the most 

demanding hours for me professionally. During 

those ten hours (five Wednesdays during the Spring 

and Fall quarters), I not only have to provide valuable 

theoretical and practical information to 18 energetic 

and motivated students, but my entire knowledge 

and 25+ years of experience in my profession is laid 

open for them to explore and question. 

Fifteen hours in a quarter—five three-hour 

classes—means that we cover a huge amount of 

territory in a condensed manner. Readings from 

various peer sources, in-class and online explorations 

of case studies (all drawn from real life), and a good 

dose of self-directed homework mean that students 

must be dedicated to their learning if they wish to 

complete the course. 

The students in the Certificate Program of the 

Translation & Interpretation Institute at Bellevue 

College hail from many places and backgrounds; and 

the students are what “make” the class. Past rosters 

have included heritage speakers, many of whom 

fed into the BC certificate program from the Puget 

Sound Skills Center (which houses a groundbreaking 

CTE program focused on providing heritage language 

speakers with basic interpreting skills, offering them 

a career path), high school teachers from local high 

schools (which are a great opportunity for reaching 

potential students through the American Translators 

Association School Outreach program), non-traditional 

(read “older”) students looking for a second 

career, women returning to the workforce, as well as 

a few American college graduates freshly returned 

from time abroad (who remind me forcibly of myself 

a few decades ago). One of these, who recently 

graduated from my alma mater, has penned a post 

about the T&I certificate program here. They are representative 

of the broad appeal of the program, and 

rightly reflect the many different paths to working in 

T&I in our country. 

But the real trick to the class (one half of TRANS 

106 Ethics and Business Practices of T&I; the interpretation 

half is held by an esteemed interpreter 

colleague) is not the information and experience I 

bring to the class. What makes this class so valuable 

to students is the peeling back layers to lead them to 

understand what it is about them that is of value to 

their future clients, be they translation companies or 

direct clients, employers or contract awarders. 

In the end, the real measure of the success of 

this program is that I encounter past students 

professionally—at local translator events, national 

conferences, and in my private practice. These 

young women and men are making it, confident and 

prepared for the career paths they have prepared for 

themselves. 

Caitlin is the current President of ATA.
