FAQ'S
Who is Dale Carnegie?
Dale Carnegie was driven to build leaders. His book, How To Win Friends and Influence People became one of the most influential, best-selling books of all time.

Dale Carnegie Training programs are presented in over 30 languages and are utilized by over 420 of the Fortune 500 companies.
What if a student can’t attend all the classes?
Most students have a heavy schedule and that is why we provide make up classes. There are one or two make up days held towards the end of the program. Make up opportunities are also available with other public classes in session.
Does this course include homework?
Many parents are initially concerned about the level of work associated with the program. There is little to no written homework involved. Students are expected to apply what is learned and use it outside the training. They give oral reports on their experiences. Students learn tools that will promote proactive habits, decrease stress, and build on the skills needed to excel academically, in leadership roles, and in life.
Should I put Dale Carnegie on a resume?

How do I know if my university will accept Dale Carnegie credit?
The American Council of Education (ACE) recommends college credit for Dale Carnegie Programs. The Dale Carnegie Young Adult Leadership Program is recommended for 2 credits in Communications. Many universities accept ACE’s recommendation but they are not required to.
What is a student coach?
At the beginning of the program, students are assigned a “student coach” or “graduate assistant.” Coaches are exactly that, previous graduates of the Young Adult Leadership Program who volunteer to come back and work with other students. Coaches are there to be used as a resource, track a student’s growth, and encourage a student to push themselves outside their comfort zone when appropriate. Student coaches are able to take the program for a second time. They gain tremendous additional coaching from the Dale Carnegie Instructor and further develop their leadership abilities.
What is the appropriate age group?
The Dale Carnegie Young Adult Leadership Program is open to students ages 14-19. Most classes held during the year are High School Students. Summer classes include college students.
