Reputation matters
The U of A’s Faculty of Extension is widely regarded among business and government leaders for its ability to provide professional education that responds to the evolving industry needs.
The instructors were very professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. I learned a lot from their comments and criticisms. Interacting with students from other provinces all over Canada was also great.
National Advanced Certificate in Local Authority Administration Level II student
The courses gave me very practical information that can be applied to my work and increased my knowledge in my field of interest.
Information Access and Protection of Privacy Certificate student
I’ve learned so much! I appreciate how supportive the staff and professors were.
It’s great that the instructors acknowledge the constraints in the life of a “mature” student with family and job commitments.
