FINDLAY -- Area residents interested in enhancing basic skills in English or math, or improving employment skills, are encouraged to attend free GED educational opportunities in November at the Owens Community College Findlay campus.
The GED examination was created with the goal of providing individuals who do not finish high school with an opportunity to earn an Ohio high school equivalence diploma and advance their academic and career aspirations. Prior to taking the GED examinations, individuals are encouraged to attend free GED preparation classes offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-11:30 a.m. and 6-8 p.m.
Owens' GED classes are designed to help prepare students for success in passing the Ohio GED examination by building on a foundation of basic skills, including reading comprehension, science and mathematics. Owens' GED preparation classes are held in room 150.
Additionally, all students must attend an orientation meeting before receiving GED preparation classroom instruction. Orientation meetings will occur on Nov. 12 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. in room 162, and Nov. 9 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. in room 162. Registration for orientations is not necessary.
The college also makes available a free Ohio GED practice test for individuals prior to taking the official examination. The practice test is offered in the college's testing center in room 124 through a computer program. The official Ohio GED examination cost is $40.
The official Ohio GED examination is administered at Owens on one designated day per month. The college's next official testing date is Nov. 7. GED testing will begin at 7:15 a.m.
For more information on the many GED educational opportunities, call 567-429-3547 or 800-GO-OWENS, ext. 3547.
