Although Sandhills Community College strives to connect you with the best information possible, no final determination can be made whether a particular program meets educational requirements for professional licensure and/or certification outside of the State of North Carolina. If you enroll in a course leading to a national or North Carolina state-based professional licensure or certification, you must determine how it can be used in your career if you decide to move outside of North Carolina. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the Workforce Continuing Education Office at Sandhills Community College at 910.695.3980 to reach a program director or coordinator for more information.
