Brush Up

Many students planning to begin technical programs need to brush up on math, reading, writing, and study skills before their program begins or while enrolled in a technical class. This is particularly helpful for those who have not been in a structured learning environment for several years.

These classes focus on applying the basic academic skills to the technical area the student plans to enter. Instruction may be in a group with a set entry point or in a lab setting. The course is self-paced and may include use of computers, video/audio tapes, or other learning tools.

Some classes are designed specifically to prepare students for the GED examination. These classes are generally self-paced and focus on building competency in math, writing or reading.

At various times of the year special classes are offered such as:

• Math for Electronics and other Technical Programs
• Math for Health Care Success
• Writing Basics for Business and Legal Careers
• Reading to Learn: Textbooks
• Math for Trade and Industry
• Math Skills for Business Careers
