How long will a person
need to participate?
The time a person needs to reach their goal depends on many factors. Progress in the ABLE program is not measured by the hours of instruction, but rather by the skills learned.
When is the program available?
There are sessions available during the day, afternoon, and evening depending upon the location. There is also an on-line program available. Contact the coordinator for site specific information.
ABLE is not just GED. What do you mean by that?ABLE is not just for GED test preparation. Whether you need to retake the OGT’s, take the COMPASS test or take a test for promotions or job opportunities, ABLE can provide instructional services to assist you in preparing for any of those tests. For people who are planning on enrolling in college, there are specific courses designed to improve your writing or math skills. These transitional courses are held at MTC and start the fourth week of the quarter. Registration is required for these non-credit courses, but there is no charge.
