Keeping your certification up to date is now easier and more flexible than ever. Through the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Science (NCD&CS) and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension, you can choose the learning environment that best fits your lifestyle.

For maximum flexibility, we highly recommend exploring our online continuing education options. Virtual classes allow you to earn necessary credits without leaving your farm or office. By utilizing these digital resources, you can:

Save Time: Eliminate travel and attend sessions from anywhere.

Customize Your Path: Use the NCDA search engine to pick the exact classes required for your specific license category.

Learn at Your Pace: Find schedules that work around your busiest seasons.

While virtual options offer great efficiency, the Cherokee County Center continues to provide high-quality, in-person training for those who prefer face-to-face instruction. These local sessions are excellent for staying connected with our regional agricultural community and receiving direct support from local extension agents.
