A certificate of attendance - only - will be awarded for less than 80% attendance provided grades are 70% or better.
ALS Exam
While the ALS Exam is not factored into a student's grade, students are expected to sit for this exam. This exam will be given typically on a Saturday morning at a NALS designated test site during the day, usually at 9 a.m. Students will have to make arrangements to adjust their schedule to ensure their availability. The ALS Exam cannot be taken other than with the rest of your class at the scheduled date and time. Student would be required to pay for a re-take fee if necessary or if they do not take the exam as scheduled. We cannot accommodate changes as this is a national exam with parameters set by the NALS organization.
ALS Exam fees are the responsibility of the student and are not included in the course tuition. Students who pay to the exam fee and do not take the exam (or fail any part of the exam) will have to reschedule directly with the NALS organization and pay the respective fees associated with rescheduling.
