NAGGL’s Advanced Diploma Program affords seasoned SBA professionals with a wealth of existing expertise the opportunity to continue their SBA education in a way that will help them meet the increasingly diverse needs of their management and customers in new and innovative ways.
All course work must be completed within a three-year period for a candidate to be eligible for the final application project.
The three-year period commences on the date the candidate completes their first advanced course.
NAGGL requires verification of course attendance, which is accomplished through the daily check-in process.
Status can be found within candidate’s NAGGL profile under education tracking.
Substitution for advanced courses by other NAGGL courses or programs, or by other organizations’ courses or programs, is not permitted.
Privately scheduled courses may be used for credit only if the standard course curriculum is delivered in its entirety.
Condensed versions of a standard course curriculum may not be used for credit. (To ensure that a privately scheduled course will be eligible for credit, please discuss eligibility of the curriculum to be delivered during the contract negotiation process.)
