The Adult Education Program at West Georgia Technical College has both the flexibility and adaptability to meet the needs of students with different skills, backgrounds and needs. Day and evening classes are available on the WGTC campus as well as Franklin, Greenville, Warm Springs, Luthersville, Woodbury, Manchester, and Hogansville. Students attend classes at no charge and books for classroom use are provided. Three levels of instruction have been developed from beginning reading and writing to high school completion (GED).

Adult Basic Literacy provides instruction for reading readiness, basic arithmetic skills, and an introduction to writing and basic grammar.

Adult General Literacy provides instruction in reading comprehension, reading in the content areas, mathematics, and language arts.

Adult Specialized Literacy (GED) provides instruction in reading, science, social studies, grammar and writing skills, and mathematics. This level will develop the skills necessary for completion of the GED examination.

The GED Test
West Georgia Technical college is an official GED Testing Center. Successful completion of the GED Test qualifies an individual for a State of Georgia High School Equivalency Diploma. GED credentials are accepted by industry, government, licensing boards, technical colleges, universities, and employers as the equivalent to a high school education.

The GED Test is a five-part test covering the following subject areas: Language Arts, Reading, Writing, Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics. To pass the GED, a total score of 2250 is required. An average of 450 points on each test battery is needed with no individual testing area score falling below 410 points.

The fee for GED testing is $95, or $19 per part.
