GED Preparation Classes
A GED can make a world of difference in someone’s life. The College offers GED Preparation Classes to help prepare individuals for the battery of General Educational Development (GED) tests. The classes emphasize the reading, writing and math skills necessary to pass the GED examination. The classes also include an official practice test to help determine an individual’s readiness for the actual GED test.
GED preparation classes usually meet Monday through Thursday for 2.5 hours each day for eight weeks, and are usually held at the College’s Main Campus, West Regional Center and Northwest Regional Center. Classes usually start in January, May and September. Registration begins the month before the classes start (December, April and August).
