The English Language Learners (ELL) classes provide instruction with an emphasis on learning to speak English for students where English is their second language. Workplace Literacy classes provide customized instruction addressing specific industry needs. Services include, but are not limited to the following: reading, writing, math, and problem solving skills.
GED® Testing
Wiregrass Georgia Technical College is an official General Educational Development (GED®) Testing Center. The GED® tests are developed by the General Educational Development Testing Service (GED®TS) of the American Council on Education (ACE) and are designed to provide an opportunity for adults who have not graduated from high school to earn a high school level educational diploma. The GED® tests measure the major academic skills and knowledge associated with a high school program of study, with increased emphasis on workplace and higher education. GED® credentials are accepted by industry, government, licensing boards, colleges and universities, and employers as the equivalent to a high school education.
The GED® test consists of four-parts covering the following subject areas: Reasoning Through Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics. Partial tests are administered throughout the month in day and evening sessions, with all four sections of the test offered approximately twice per month. Pre-registration and advance payments are required.
