Adult Education - GED®

What is Adult Education?

Did you know that on the average, a person with a high school diploma or GED® earns $9,400 per year more than someone without a high school diploma? The higher a person's educational level, the higher their earnings.

The Adult Education Program in Anderson County, Clark County, Estill County, Fayette County, and Scott County helps anyone 18 and older who is not currently enrolled in a secondary school with a number of educational goals like:

• Preparing for your GED®
• Improving your basic skills
• Learning English as a Second Language
• Preparing for college
• Preparing for employment

The Bluegrass Community and Technical College Adult Education program provides free GED® classes in Anderson County, Clark County, Estill County, Fayette County, and Scott County. These free courses are offered throughout the year.
