Common Types of Workshops & Events We Offer


Webinars

HCC has been working for the past year to distill much of our insider admissions experience into captivating self-paced and live online trainings.

Our online classes can be presented virtually and live with Q & A sessions for your group or association. Contact us for more information.

In-Person Classes

Based on years of experience working with students, we offer a deep and broad curriculum package to schools in the Greenville, SC area (as well as the Atlanta - Charlotte corridor). Many secondary schools looking to enhance their college admission counseling offerings, PTSA associations, and charter schools have taken advantage of our multiple workshops, presentations and application "bootcamps." Writing workshops, curriculum building and changes in the application process are popular presentation topics. Learn more by contacting us.

Complimentary Guest Speaker

Every year, the college application horizon shifts, with changes in standardized testing, application requirements, scholarship funding and more. Knowing that students and parents juggle very busy lives, we monitor all aspects of the search and application process, and share the latest up-to-date information with our clients. One of the most efficient and cost-effective ways we do that is with book clubs, Sunday school groups, athletic teams, parent groups, dinner clubs, and any group that provides educational support for parents and students.
