Adult Basic Education/GED® Test Preparation

Adult Basic Education is sponsored by Johnson County Community College. Instruction is offered in locations throughout the county.

JCCC’s GED® Test Preparation courses are small, and you will receive individualized attention. Learn at your own pace; you will not be measured against others.

Our FREE instruction includes:

  • Basic skills instruction in reading, writing, and math.
  • General Educational Development (GED®) high school equivalency test preparation.
  • A study plan made to meet your individual learning needs.
  • Outreach classes located in community centers close to where you live and work.
  • Small classes with friendly people who are also seeking basic skills to improve their lives.
  • A transition coach to assist you with future plans.
  • Volunteer tutors to give one-on-one attention.
  • Instruction in work readiness and computer literacy skills.

The Adult Basic Education/GED® Test Preparation program at JCCC is designed for adults 16 and older who are no longer in school. If you are 16 or 17, you must provide a high school attendance disclaimer form from the public high school in the school district where you currently live. Contact your high school or your school district administrative offices to obtain the disclaimer.
