• For knowing whether if they are eligible for licensure or certification before committing to a CE program, and
• Contacting the respective certification agency to find out if a conviction will prohibit them from being certified and able to work in the industry.
• Contacting legal counsel to discuss an existing criminal background prior to applying to Alamo Colleges District Continuing Education for guidance.
