Adult Education/GED
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 campuses and at other sites in Carroll, Coweta, Douglas, Haralson, Heard, Meriwether, and Troup counties.
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 Education (ABE) provides instruction for reading readiness, basic arithmetic skills, and an introduction to writing and basic grammar.
