Do not know how to answer this question for a job app.?

Question

So completing background check requirements for a new job, and I was asked these questions that I m not sure what the answer may be per my situation. 
Have you ever been convicted of a crime other than a minor traffic violation?

Have you ever pled guilty to a crime other than a minor traffic violation?

Have you ever pled no contest to a crime other than a minor traffic violation?

My situation is I was charged (not a traffic violation), went to court and I was offered to complete a class and have the charge dismissed. I completed the class and it was dismissed.

I have no clue if that means i "plead guilty" and I do not want to seem like a liar based on confusion. does anyone know how i should answer?

Although you do not have a conviction, that does not answer the questions about pleading guilty or no contest.

They can not order you to take a class unless they find you guilty. Or maybe you volunteered to take the class and they just held the case open. But that would still require you to enter a plea.  Only the court clerk knows, you need to call and get the answer from them.

The question was "convicted." So, no.

You could check your court paperwork. Another possible plea is facts sufficient.
