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.
I learned a lot about different techniques. Getting advice and feedback from the instructors was very helpful, and I liked the sense of community I got from interacting with other students, seeing what they were doing, and learning from them.
The coursework was very relatable. I found that all of the courses were applicable to my day-to-day function at work.

The ICIR program is outstanding. A real model of what lifelong learning can be.
Indigenous Community-Industry Relations Certificate student
It’s great that the instructors acknowledge the constraints in the life of a “mature” student with family and job commitments.
The instructors are experienced and engaging. They effectively leveraged current events and practical examples to reinforce key concepts.

I really enjoyed the flexibility to work and study at the same time. The evening classes helped a lot.

I loved the one-on-one instruction and the interaction with other students. Loved watching them learn and perform in class while I also advanced on my own art.
Visual Arts Certificate student
The office was flexible and helpful when I needed an accommodation to fast-track the program. I also liked that we always had plenty of time to complete assignments. The teachers were very nice.
