Adult Basic Skills Enhancement & GED Preparation

Penta’s Basic Skills program is a student-centered learning opportunity for adults who want to continue to improve their learning and earning opportunities.

Why enroll in Basic Skills? To improve reading, writing, and math skills, to get and/or to keep a job, to meet entrance requirements for your skill training courses or college, to study for your GED, or to help your children with their homework.           

Pre-Registration Required – Call 419.661.6555 to register. 

All Basic Skills classes are offered free of charge!  Students must be at least
18 years of age to attend classes. 

Legal requirements for minors (16 & 17 year olds) to enroll in Basic Skills classes are different from the requirements to take the actual GED exam. Please call 419.661.6555, for information relating to laws for minors attending Basic Skills classes or alternative high school programs.
