Have you ever wondered why some people succeed while others, equally intelligent, fail?

National Advanced Certificate in Local Authority Administration
The Faculty of Extension has a long history
of continuing education in local government
administration. Courses on governance and
public administration have been offered
continuously since the late 1930s, with the first
certificate in local government being available in
the mid-60s. Since then, the National Advanced
Certificate in Local Authority Administration
(NACLAA) programs have evolved to their
current form, with two distinct certificates.
NACLAA Level I and NACLAA Level II are award-winning programs that are open to students from across Canada. Our courses are developed and delivered by academics and practitioners from all corners of the country who are experts in their field. NACLAA programs focus on the concepts, structures, and processes that define local government administration. They identify and analyze community issues relevant to Canadian municipalities, and foster students’ development of the theoretical and practical knowledge that are essential for success working in local authority administration.
PROFESSIONAL DESIGNATIONS
Completion of both NACLAA Level I and NACLAA Level II fulfills the educational requirements for the Certified Local Government Manager (CLGM) designation in Alberta. The CLGM is conferred by the Society of Local Government Managers (SLGM), the organization that regulates the practices of local government managers and ensures its members act in the local government’s best possible interest.
Other certification requirements for the CLGM designation include at least five years of experience in local government management in Canada, belief in and practice of the SLGM’s Code of Ethics, and membership in the SLGM. For more information on the CLGM/SLGM, visit www.clgm.net.

Business AnalysisProfessional Citation
The Business Analysis Professional Citation from
the Faculty of Extension, University of Alberta,
provides students with a valuable set of
knowledge and skills needed for this profession,
covering topics such as enterprise analysis and
architecture, interface and data design, solution
verification and validation, requirements
elicitation, and scope management.
AUDIENCE
Aimed at professionals in the areas of business management, information technology, and product or service development, the Business Analysis Professional Citation will be of benefit to individuals involved in change initiatives within their organization and to those responsible for or involved in the development of requirements, business processes, solution design and assessments, and product/service deployments. Learners in this career-enhancing program come from all sectors: government, industry, not-for-profit organizations and small to large enterprise.
Business analysts are in increasing demand
to help organizations invest their limited

analysis enables organizations to adapt and

assessing the value of potential solutions,
and determining the best course of action to
take. Business analysis plays a crucial role in
everything from creating a strategic plan to
deciding whether to introduce a new product
to determining what features to introduce in
order to ensure that customers are wowed
by their experience with every aspect of an
organization, from the sales process through
ongoing support.

• Explore the relationship between business analysts and the organization at all levels within the context of projects and regular operations.

business and technical viewpoint and develop data designs.
