Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) certificate

If you are interested in becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant (SLPA) and working as support personnel to a speech-language pathologist, this program may be right for you. Many prefer the flexibility of our online courses given their busy lifestyles.

The SLPA License to work in Arizona and most other states requires (a) speech-language pathology technical coursework, (b) general education coursework, and (c) direct clinical interaction experience. The NAU SLPA Certificate meets the speech-language pathology technical coursework requirement in most states.
