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 courses blended with my current line of work and, at the same time, provided me with new insight into a broader range of privacy topics.
Information Access and Protection of Privacy Certificate student
The program is extremely well presented and the instructors are great. The interaction with other students also helped me expand my understanding of OHS in other industries.
The courses are excellent and make it easier to grow within your career.
Business Analysis Certificate student
The instruction is great but, to be honest, I also enjoyed learning from other students. I haven’t worked in the industry yet, so hearing from classmates on their challenges or successes was crucial for me to operationalize what we were learning in a real-world environment.
