Students may take ABE and GED courses online from any computer with Internet access. Online courses are ideal for those whose schedules or physical limitations make it difficult to attend class in a regular classroom setting.

Students who do not have access to a home computer may use the computers in our Academic Skills Lab, in our Learning Resources Center, or in any of the public libraries in Alamance County. Computers may be used on a space-available basis at these locations, so they should be reserved in advance.

There is no charge for Adult Basic Skills Online courses.

For more information about Adult Basic Skills Online, call Lynn Ferns at 336-506-4379 or Betty Justice at 336-506-4377. To enroll, contact Betty Justice.

ABE, GED, ESL programs are also available through correspondence telecourses. You can improve your math, reading, and language skills from home with video-based correspondence courses. Students who are motivated to work independently are encouraged to participate. Instruction is through videos watched from home; students need to have access to a VCR and TV. Students are expected to come to campus at least three times during the course, but the majority of the work is completed at home. Weekly contact with the instructor is expected via telephone, e-mail, or drop-in office hours.

The GED course prepares students to take the official GED tests. The ESL course is designed to help advanced beginner and intermediate ESL students improve their written and spoken English skills. A certificate of completion is awarded upon successfully finishing the courses. There is no charge for telecourses.

To sign up for an ESL telecourse, call Lucia Merces-DaCunha at 336-506-4380 and for the GED Telecourse, call Betty Justice or the Assessment Center at 336-506-4376.
