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 program is very relevant to municipal operations.
National Advanced Certificate in Local Authority Administration Level I student
The faculty is really good. They often shared their real-life experiences with us, which was a great way of learning more about the world of business.
All instructors were extremely well versed in their fields. But one of them — a senior lawyer with the Alberta Government who taught a course on OHS law — was incredibly impressive.
It was great to be able to get a university education on my own time. I appreciated the feedback I received and enjoyed seeing the various styles of other student artworks. Loved the instructors. Loved becoming absorbed in the work of the program.
