Get Started
Orientation and TABE Testing
Adults begin their journey with us by completing New Learner Orientation and TABE Pretesting, which are held every week. You must complete both prior to beginning classes.
- During Orientation, our Student Support Coordinator will meet with each new student to complete the Intake packet, develop SMART goals, identify potential barriers and solutions, review pretesting results, explore learning options, and determine a class schedule.
- TABE Pretesting assesses learner's skill levels so that teachers can guide students to the most appropriate class and determine a starting point for each learner.
