What Becky Partin, AED Certified Parts Manager from United Equipment, Pooler GA says about getting her AED Management Certification:
"The courses that I was able to take that related specifically to my department brought up ideas and new perspectives that I had not through about before. When questions and challenges came up, I began to think 'How will this affect the company over all?' and I had the knowledge from my AED courses to be able to truly use a systems perspective when considering ideas and initiatives. So, for all of the managers out there: Don?t let every day challenges get in the way of furthering your education, your career, and your company. Take the plunge and take the courses ? you won't regret it."
