Do you need to prepare for the official GED exam? AACC’s ABS/GED program is here for you. GED test preparation and Adult Basic Skills courses are designed for students 18 or older who do not have a high school diploma and need to improve basic skills in math, science, social studies and language arts.
Face-to-face classes have been postponed, but you can still join the Adult Basic Skills/GED online program and study remotely. To fully participate, you need access to the internet and a computer (desktop, laptop or Chromebook) with webcam, speakers and microphone.
