<p>NC State’s Police Academy certificate program allows students to complete a series of coordinated courses in a shorter period of time than an associate degree. Students in associate degree programs may benefit from adding a certificate to their areas of expertise. Upon successful completion of a certificate program, a Certificate Request form must be completed in the&nbsp;Student Records Office&nbsp;in order to receive a certificate.
Day academies are offered in Fall and Spring semesters.&nbsp;A part-time night academy will be offered on an as-needed basis, starting Fall semester and finishing in Spring semester of each academic year. The academy registration is ongoing for both academies.&nbsp;Students must visit North Central State College's Criminal Justice webpage to locate the registration link. The academy must be completed on a full‐time basis. The full-time academy is 40 hours per week and the part-time academy is 24 hours per week. In addition, students will be required to pass a physical examination, a state certification exam, and be capable of being hired by a law enforcement agency.</p>
