If you’ve decided it’s time to get your high school diploma or complete your secondary school education, or if you want to work on basic skills, the NSCC Adult Basic Education/General Educational Development (ABE/GED) program is a great resource for students 18 years and older.
Whether you are just beyond high school age or have been considering filling in the gaps in your skills for a while, the ABE/GED program can help.
You'll feel comfortable in class. Even if your skills feel rusty at first, you will quickly discover your capacity (and mature commitment) to learn.
ABE Skill-building ClassesImprove your basic English reading, writing and math skills in ABE classes — if you aren’t quite ready for the GED preparation classes or if your placement test scores indicate you need more work on basic skills.
Classes will help you transition into college or career training programs, learn workplace computer skills, discover your personal strengths and learn workplace relational skills.
Learn to think critically, set realistic goals and achieve academically.
GED PreparationPrepare for the 5-part GED test. Successful completion of the 5-part test (reading, writing, social studies, science and math) earns a GED certificate. GED certification is equivalent to a high school education and is usually accepted in place of a diploma.
In classes you’ll review reading, math, grammar, writing and test-taking. Your peers will generally have between 8th and 12th grade-level skills.
You can go straight through to get your GED or take it a-step-at-a-time and come back as you are ready. If you feel you are ready to take the GED tests without preparation classes, contact the testing center to learn about the testing process and make an appointment.
The NSCC ABE/GED program has supportive, dedicated, expert professional faculty members who will help you achieve your goals. Find your place among classmates who represent a cross-section of ages, cultures and backgrounds.
Getting StartedStart with the admission & enrollment steps. After you complete the application and get your student ID number, you will be invited to attend an ABE/GED orientation and take a special placement test.
If English is not your first language, an ESL placement test may be required before entering the GED preparation classes. For more information and dates of upcoming orientations, contact an ABE/GED/ESL Advisor.
Financial and other support services are available through Workforce Education — DSHS, DVR, Worker Retraining, etc.
