Adult Education Services
All services of MCTC Adult Education are free to Kentucky residents! As a local provider of Kentucky Adult Education (KYAE), MCTC Adult Ed is committed to providing academic and essential skills instruction to promote lifelong learning.
GED Classes and Testing
MCTC Adult Ed offers free GED prep classes and free testing to all Kentuckians over 18. Through flexible scheduling and individualized instruction, students will work with highly qualified instructors to prepare for the GED tests. Classes are available online, and on evenings and weekends at multiple sites!
Earning a GED can open opportunities for better jobs, better pay, and further education and training. Research over time has shown that increased educational attainment results in better life outcomes such as health and life expectancy, greater engagement in civics and local communities, lower unemployment, lower crime and incarceration rates, and positive effects on educational outcomes within families.
College Preparation
The Maysville Community and Technical College Adult Education program offers college preparation services through the WIN Career Readiness System (Academic Skills & College Readiness 2.0) as well as instruction to prepare for placement testing. You can improve your EdReady and KYOTE scores with individualized tutoring in math, language, or reading skills. This program is designed to help prepare you for college courses and to attain placement scores high enough to avoid taking non-credit bearing, developmental courses. If you have already taken placement testing, we can help boost your scores and prepare you to retest! We use diagnostic assessments to determine your specific needs and create an individualized plan of study.
Workforce Preparation and Soft Skills
Using the WIN Career Readiness System, students will learn how to practice the skills needed to thrive in today’s workforce—collaboration, effective communication, critical thinking, and how to solve conflicts professionally. After completing the self-paced modules and the final assessment, students will earn the state-recognized Kentucky Essential Skills Certificate (KESC), which can be added to resumes and shows employers that you have the skills needed to be a valuable employee.
Digital Literacy
The Maysville Community and Technical College Adult Education program offers instruction in digital literacy. Using Northstar Digital Literacy and WIN Career Readiness, instructors will introduce students to skills such as basic computer operations, word processing, composing emails, and staying safe online. Completing the curriculum for these programs earns learners a certificate that can be added to resumes.
English Language Learning (ELL) / English as a Second Language (ESL)
MCTC Adult Ed offers instruction for those needing to learn English. Using programs such as Burlington English and one-on-one instruction, students can learn conversational English for everyday life and gain a better understanding of written and spoken English. Instruction focuses on the four essential skills essential to understanding and using English: Reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
Family Literacy
MCTC Adult Ed offer family literacy programming for parents and guardians who want to be more involved in their children’s education! Our family literacy programming is a great way for adults to become more invested in the education of their children and gain further education for themselves along the way. Family literacy programming can be done along with other adult ed services such as GED or college preparation, English language learning, and soft skills development.
