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

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.

    just say that, you did a class and the case was dismissed.

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

    You can state that you were not convicted of a crime.

    Your answer is no to all 3 questions. The charge was dismissed. You certainly weren't convicted, nor did you have to plea to anything.
