They are very proficient in online instruction, and the division is committed to scheduling courses in online, in-person and hybrid formats to meet students' needs.
Advising
AA students work with an advisor in the college's Academic Advising division throughout their time at Wake Tech. AFA students meet with an advisor during the first semester and are then assigned a faculty advisor, an instructor in their program of study who will advise them for the remainder of their program.
Professional licensure
Wake Tech academic programs (degree and non-degree) that are designed to lead to professional licenses are tied to North Carolina or national certifications. If you intend to pursue professional licenses outside North Carolina once you have completed your academic program at Wake Tech, please refer to the Professional Licensure section of the college's distance education authorization page for additional information.
