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. More information is available at https://www.sandhills.edu/admissions/scc-licensure-certification.html.
