... and a great opportunity to take control of your own future, open the door to new knowledge
and win success while you are still young enough to enjoy it.
If this sounds like a tall order, I can only assure you that thousands of Granton students have
achieved no less. We have carefully documented their case histories ... and they all tell much
the same story ­ make the effort, get some expert help and the reward is certain.
But men and women who get top paying jobs through completing correspondence courses
don't get something for nothing. They invest in themselves and in the training they need.
They
use some of their own spare time and bring zest and enthusiasm to the course.
I tell you this at the outset because it would be foolish to think you can get ahead, get a
promotion, get a pay rai$e, move to a new career
, earn more or start a new business of your
own without setting aside the time to prepare for a future career opportunity
. Granton Institute
has no magic wand.
What we do have is enthusiasm, know-how, over 60 years of experience ­ and a proven record
of successfully helping thousands of ambitious people. Every student matters to us ­ every
student is important. We are dedicated to the proposition that, once you join us, it is our
responsibility to pilot you to success.
I hope, therefore, that you will read this book carefully
. Having done so, think about it. Then,
if you really want to put some solid foundations under your "dream castles", we'll show you
how ­ help you in a very practical way and do everything in our power to ensure that your
enrollment with Granton becomes the most rewarding investment you ever made.
What I am concerned about is for you to have a career and the
financial rewards that go with it
and not just a job. If you do nothing, nothing is going to happen. If you do something, and
enroll with Granton, we have the chance to make you successful.
Read over my Career
Opportunities guide and choose a career you would like to be part of.
We are here to help you ­-
now is the time for you to act and take the first step in preparing for a better future by enrolling in
a Granton course.

Your guide for preparing for a future career opportunity
background image
how to
give yourself
a chance ...
When you think about it, many of
us spend eight hours a day
working, five out of seven days
of the week, 50 out of 52 weeks a
year. That makes a yearly total of
2000 hours dedicated to our job.
How do you spend your 2000
hours? Do you spend it doing
something you like and
something you find rewarding? If
your answer is no, then you are
probably accepting fatigue,
frustration and boredom in
exchange for a livelihood.
dreams
are not
enough
Dreaming of a better or different
life will not change this. Many of
us daydream about where we
could be. But dreams alone do
not build lives.
If you want to build a better
life, you need direction. First,
you need a clear picture of your
goal. This goal must be specific
and one which you can
realistically attain. A desire to
make money or to win is not
specific enough. But if you say
you want to become a Clerk-
Typist, Computer Programmer,
Bookkeeper or Legal Secretary
then you have stated your
objective clearly.
Once you know what your
objective is, you can define any
obstacles you need to remove.
For instance, "I want to be a hotel
manager, but, I do not have the
training." Perhaps you need a
Certificate or a Diploma to be a
candidate and qualify for a job
you want, or you need more
expertise to get a promotion.
Whatever the position you have
in mind, very often the obstacle is
a lack of qualifications, training
or an educational background.
getting
a pay
raise
Deciding what you want is the
key to giving yourself the
freedom to work for it. What do
you want out of life? Is your
current salary helping you get
there? Once you have decided
what you want, you must choose
the steps you are going to take to
achieve your goals and get you
where you want to be. By
advancing your skills and taking
the initiative for your own life,
you can give yourself new
opportunities to build your future.
changing
your
career
Do you feel that your current job
gives you opportunity for
advancement? Or do you feel as
if you are dispensable ­ that your
skills are not valued? We can
teach you skills that will make
you more valuable in the business
community, and that will help
you fit the needs of the
marketplace. You can develop
skills which allow you to make
more money and make you
difficult to replace on the job.
These skills can be a form of
security for your future.
starting
your
own
business
Have you considered starting
your own business? No matter
what is happening in the
marketplace, there are always
needs which have to be filled. If
you develop the skills and
knowledge to meet those needs,
you can be the master of your
own enterprise and create your
own future.
make a
plan
Now that you know what you
need to do, you need to make a
plan to do it. You need to realize
that you can do it. Many of us
underestimate ourselves and feel
that we cannot be experts. But if
you take any subject and study it
for half an hour a day for a year,
you will have spent 185 hours
studying and acquiring
knowledge. You will discover
that you have far greater
resources than you thought.
You need to give yourself the
chance. At Granton we know that
those who are dissatisfied with
their progress can do something
about it.
Decide what you want,
understand what holds you back,
then do something to overcome
the obstacle.

take action
At Granton, we offer success-
proven Certificate and Diploma
Correspondence programs that
allow you to attain credentials
and knowledge; two of the main
ingredients for advancement. If
you have little or no knowledge
of a subject, we provide training
and certification which provide
you with the qualifications you
need to succeed. Many
promotions have resulted from
employers being impressed by
the fact that employees have
studied ahead and prepared for
promotion.
granton's
step-by-step
system
In order to provide the training
that will enable you to succeed,
the knowledge component of
your course is divided into
performance objectives that are
often part of job descriptions in
industry.
These performance objectives,
such as listing the steps in a
servicing procedure, solving a
problem, making a calculation,
identifying a component, or
explaining how a device works,
form the backbone of our system.
You are taught how to perform
these job related objectives then
asked in your progress
assignments to perform the
objectives. You demonstrate your
new knowledge and skill to your
tutor, we are able to check your
progress and certify that you have
completed the course.
textbooks
Once you have enrolled you are
provided with learning materials
that include textbooks chosen for
modern content and excellence.
These books are recommended by
leading professional institutions
or are used by colleges and
universities. They are included in
the course fee and provide the
essential reference material of the
course.
lessons
Your learning materials include
lessons that are carefully written
and designed by professionals.
These lessons show you which
part of the textbooks are
important in order that you will
learn the necessary information
and skills. As well, we test your
progress on an ongoing basis by
challenging you to answer
questions showing that you
understand the material, can
complete the objectives and
demonstrate your knowledge. If
you do not have a clear
understanding, we work with you
to help you learn what you need
to know.
you and
your tutors
We do this by providing tutors
who mark your work. Your tutor
will give you comments and
suggestions for improvement,
point out where you have not quite
understood something, perhaps
show you a short cut, or give you
some well-deserved praise.
You are encouraged to look on
your tutors as your personal
guides who show you the way
and steer you safely from pitfalls
they know so well.
We attach a great importance
to the creation of a friendly and
personal relationship between you
and your tutor. We make sure that
you have the next lesson while your
current lesson is being marked in
order that you can rapidly progress
through your program. On comple-
tion of your program you will be
awarded your Certificate or Diploma.
certification
Your Certificate or Diploma
provides the evidence of your
ability. It is the key which lets
you apply for advancement in
your present career or apply for a
job in a new enterprise.

benefits of
home study
correspondence
programs
The Granton success-proven
Certificate and Diploma
Correspondence Course System
offers the benefit of catering to
your needs. You study in your
own time and at your own rate.
You can take more time to master
a lesson you find difficult, and
you can progress quickly through
material you understand more
easily. You can ask any questions
you need for clarification in order
to gain maximum benefit and
knowledge from your program.
Our aim is to get you so
interested you look forward to
your lessons and willingly give
your time to the course. At
Granton, we understand that
learning should be an enjoyable
experience in which you satisfy
your curiosity and develop your
skills, knowledge and personal
confidence. Students who learn
through correspondence learn to
answer questions in writing. They
learn how to express themselves
clearly and to answer the
questions directly. These are
valuable skills.
Every course at the Granton
Institute is a complete program
providing everything you need.
Long after you have completed
the course you will have your
textbooks, lessons, study plans
and your written work as a
reference library.
no need
to feel self-
conscious
If you are older or you feel self-
conscious studying with others
for any reason, enrolling for a
correspondence course is a
solution for you. Correspondence
programs are strictly confidential,
and if you wish, no one else
needs to know that you are taking
a program to advance yourself.
you learn
because
You learn because you can study
in your own time, you can
progress at your own rate and you
have your own tutor who is
interested in your progress. As
well, you develop the ability to
express yourself concisely in
writing so you can communicate
what you know. Completing a
correspondence course works and
gets results. Students who have
studied through a correspondence
course program are shown to
perform consistently well in
formal examinations because they
have learned the material
thoroughly. Furthermore, the
knowledge and expertise students
gain through their program helps
them achieve their desired goal in
the marketplace. If you have a
goal or desire to build a better
life, we can put Granton to work

Six Great Features
background image
Q. How long will it take to
complete my course?
A. This is one of the most
common questions we receive
from students enrolling with
Granton, and the answer
naturally varies according to
each individual case. We have
structured our program so
you can study at your own
time and pace.
How quickly you
complete the program
depends on which course you
have selected, how much
time you have available for
studying and the knowledge
you already have in your
chosen field of study. You
should aim to complete two
assignments per week for
optimum progress.
Q. I am no longer used to
studying. Will I be able to
adjust to being back at
school?
A. Our program is different from
what you experienced before.
You study in a relaxed
atmosphere in your own
home. You can take the time
to put extra effort into the
parts of the program that
really interest you, and you
can ask for extra help on any
area you may find difficult.
There is no pressure for you
to meet any objectives
outside of what you are trying
to achieve. We are there to
help you.
Q. What happens if I have
trouble with my course?
A. Your tutor has the
responsibility of working
with your abilities. He or she
is there to help you with any
problems you may have, and
to encourage you in the
process of developing your
skills. We do not expect you
to know everything right
away. Otherwise, you would
have no need for us. We
understand you have
registered in our program to
learn. It is our duty to teach
you.
Q. Will my course interfere
with my work?
A. Absolutely not. Our program
is designed to meet your time
requirements and your needs.
You choose your study times,
and there is no pressure for
you to put in more time than
you can fit into your
schedule.
Q. Can fee payment be
adjusted to suit my financial
requirements?
A. In the vast majority of cases,
the answer is "yes". The fee
payments can be divided into
easy monthly installments,
and we give sympathetic
consideration to any special
circumstances you might be
facing. We make no hard and
fast rules, and each case is
dealt with on its own merits.
Q. What is the value of a
Granton Diploma?
A. The Granton Diploma
provides reliable evidence
that you have received a
sound technical or
commercial training and have
reached a definite standard in
the subjects detailed on the
Diploma.
Q. How does the "Satisfaction
or Refund of Tuition" Policy
operate?
A. When you have finished your
course, you may claim a
refund of the tuition if you
sincerely feel you have not
benefitted in the way you had
hoped. The conditions are:
(1) you complete the course
(until you have done so you
are not in a position to judge
it fairly); (2) you request your
refund within seven days of
submitting your last assign-
ment, and (3) once your
request has been approved,
return all the materials you
have received from Granton.
The satisfaction or tuition
refund Policy is designed for
our mutual benefit... it
provides an incentive for our
tutors to help you at all stages
and encourages you to
complete the course.
Q. How many students claim
refund of fees?
A. Less than 1% of our
Graduates claim a refund of
fees under the terms of the
Agreement. This fully
confirms our experience that
anyone who completes a
Granton Course will be more
than satisfied with what he or
she has gained from the
School's teaching.

Look at the "Help Wanted" section of
almost any large newspaper and you will
invariably see openings for bookkeepers ­
full and part-time.
Why are bookkeepers so much in
demand? Simply because every business,
large or small, must maintain the
necessary books to record its financial
transactions. And this is not only true of
businesses: the qualified bookkeeper may
take care of books for doctors, dentists,
architects and other professionals, or may
prefer to work for a university, bank,
hospital or in a Government department.
As a bookkeeper you will be
concerned with accounting operations. In
a very large company no one person can
possibly be responsible for maintaining
all records, and you may work in a
department concerned with one aspect ­
such as payroll, accounts payable,
accounts receivable ­ to name only a few.
However, you may prefer to work for a
small organization where you would be
in charge of a company's books. This
means you would record incoming
cheques, (accounts receivable), record
and pay invoices, (accounts payable),
write salary cheques (payroll), remit
provincial and federal taxes, take care of
petty cash, do the banking ­ in short be
responsible for recording each and every
financial transaction undertaken by the
company.
Whether you will work for a large or
small organization or establish your own
business is a matter of personal
preference. If you work for a large
company you will meet a great many
interesting people and share in the
excitement of "Big Business". On the
other hand the person operating a small
business must know his financial position
on a day to day basis and relies heavily
on his bookkeeper to provide him with
this information. Thus the bookkeeper
becomes more closely involved with the
business and frequently becomes
responsible for its operation.
And, of course, you may prefer to work
for yourself. Many small stores and other
business prefer that their books be kept by
outside organizations, and a great number
of bookkeepers have successfully
established their own highly profitable
operations. Small, at first, possibly
working from their own homes, then
building the number of their clients so that
they can move into their own offices and
realize an excellent yearly income.
When discussing the advantages of a
career there is a tendency to think only in
terms of income. While it is true that
bookkeepers receive excellent salaries, it
is equally true that there are many other
benefits that cannot be measured in terms
of money. You will have important,
interesting positions and will work closely
with professional people and executives.
Further, your bookkeeping course can
be the key to advancement. Comptrollers
and financial officers of many
organizations have begun their careers as
bookkeepers. As a bookkeeper you will
become acquainted with the financial
structure of the organization you will work
for, will get to know sales and production
figures, material costs ... and other facets
that determine the successful operation of
a company. After some experience, and if
you have the desire to do so, you will be in
a position to enter executive ranks
yourself.
Finally, your skills will always be in
demand.
The Granton Bookkeeping Course is
one of the best investments you can
make. It assures you of a happy,
prosperous business life and a secure
future.

Granton has opened the
doors of opportunity for
ambitious people
throughout the world. It
can and will do the same for
you. But don't delay a
minute, enroll to-day and
start immediately on the
road to a richer life.
high school
diploma course
It is an accepted fact that if you have
completed a high school diploma you are
better equipped to earn more and to
pursue a successful career than a person
without a high school diploma. It has
been our experience that if you have not
completed a high school diploma you
have seriously handicapped yourself in
attaining a more rewarding position. A
high school diploma is a vital necessity
to meet today's job requirements.
Granton's High School Diploma course
will benefit mature students seeking a
better education who are able to read
English and who either did not attend or
did not complete high school. If you meet
these requirements then you are eligible
to enroll in our Adult High School
Diploma Course which will enable you
to go to High School at home. If you
wish to earn more and are looking for an
entry into interesting and well paid jobs
then the Granton High School Diploma
course is for you.
Granton's course may be used to prepare
you for the international General
Educational Development (GED )
standard which is recognized across
Canada and the United States. The GED
adult credentials are accepted as the
equivalent of the traditional high school
diploma for the purposes of employment,
promotion and licensing. Also many
colleges now accept satisfactory GED test
scores in place of traditional high school
transcripts for admissions purposes.
Consequently, your Granton course is not
only based on internationally recognized
standards but also prepares you to write
and pass, should you so wish, the
internationally accepted GED test.
You start each subject in your course
with a review of the basics. You are then
taken step by step through each of the six
subjects you need to complete.
Your are to complete Division 1 then
choose two options from division 2 to
earn your High School Diploma
Division 1:
Human Relations, Canadian
Studies, English Language, Mathematics.
Division 2:
Your choice of any two sub-
jects from the list of 12 subjects below:
Anatomy and Physiology
Biology
Bookkeeping
Canadian Legal systems
Canadian Sociology
Chemistry
Criminal Law and the Canadian
Criminal Code
Medical Terminology
Physics
Psychology
Keyboarding and Document
Preparation
Zoology
You need not choose your division 2 sub-
jects until you have completed division 1.
Allow 30 weeks (five weeks per subject)
to complete divisions 1 and 2. Students
with less than grade 11may take longer.
However students who are highly
motivated and have more time to study
may take less time to complete.
Tuition: $2975 payable with $85 on
enrollment and 34 monthly payments of
$85 each or $2380 (with payment in full
or corporate purchase order on
enrollment). Your tuition covers all
lessons, textbooks instruction and the
GED examination guide. On successful
completion of each subject you will be
awarded a certificate of completion and
on successful completion of Divisions 1
and 2 you will be awarded the Granton
"High School Diploma". You will also be
qualified to write and pass, should you so
wish the GED high school equivalency
test. Course #3038EO
GRADUATE BONUS:
When you have completed
the above course you may elect to write the GED
test. You will be entitled to enroll, at no additional
charge, for Granton's "GED High School
Equivalency Examination Preparation Practicum"
course. This practicum course will give you
practice in answering typical GED test questions
and help ensure you success. This course includes
GED Writing Skills, GED The Essay, GED Social
Studies, GED Science, GED Literature and Arts,
and GED Mathematics. See page 109 for details.

Become a Health Care Provider and
enjoy a career in the Health Care
field. You will find the delivering of
health care a very special job, one
that you and your fellow workers
can take pride in. If you enjoy
helping people and making your
community a better place in which to
live then you should consider a
career in Health Care. The delivery
of health care is a very personal
service and there is no one correct
way of delivering it. Customs vary
from one part of the continent to
another and on the job your team
leader will show you the precise way
that your employer requires a
procedure to be carried out if it
differs from what you have been
taught ­ this applies to rookies and
even experienced Health Care
Provider changing jobs.
Consequently even though you have
been trained in proven procedures
you must be flexible enough to adapt
to local requirements. Your Granton
training as a Health Care Provider
will give you the confidence to apply
for work in a medical facility such as
a hospital or nursing home. We can
think of no finer career than one
devoted to caring and helping
people who need help. Granton's
Health Care Provider Courses, such
as Nurses Aide, Health Care Aide
and Personal Support Worker,
supply the essential knowledge
required by Health Care Providers
in the day-to-day pursuit of their
duties. Provincial requirements may
require up to 360 hours of
supervised clinical practice as set
out in their individual guidelines.
Students who are already working
for a registered nurse or doctor and
those who are starting out in their
self-arranged practicum will be
provided with a skills passbook for
their supervisor to fill out.
nurses aide
Hospitals, nursing homes, health care
facilities and retirement homes are just a
few of the organizations on the lookout
for dedicated nurses aides. There is a
comradeship that exists among people
who devote their lives in the service of
others. If you enjoy working with
people and don't mind working indoors,
then a career starting as a nurses aide
may well be worth considering. On
completion of this course you will have
been trained as a team leader and will,
among other things, be able to explain
to your co-workers how to carry out all
essential procedures. The confidence in
knowing what to do will provide you
with the incentive to apply for work and
start a new career. Your course starts
from basics and includes: Human
Relations and Nursing Assistant and
Support Worker Procedures. No
prerequisite. 73 lessons 73 assignments.
Tuition: $1190 payable with $85 on

Granton Diploma "Nurses Aide."
Course #3039TE
health care aide
A career in community health service is
open to Men and women who enjoy
helping others. Where a nurses aide is
normally associated with institutional
work, the health care aide also works in
the community at large under the
supervision of a team leader, who may
well be a registered nurse. Your duties
include the providing of personal
services, care and comfort. On com-
pletion of this course you will have

important aspects of the nursing
assistant's procedures. Your course

geriatrics
nursing
assistant
This course prepares you for a career in
nursing homes, general hospitals,
residential homes for seniors, long term
care establishments and palliative care
institutions. You are prepared for the job
of geriatric nursing assistant in which
you would work with or under the
supervision of a registered nurse or the
