The Adult Literacy and GED Preparation classes offered by Valdosta Technical College are specifically designed for adults who have different backgrounds and skills. A flexible program has been designed which meets the needs of any adult who wishes to participate. The services are free and available at various locations in the college’s six county service area (Berrien, Brooks, Cook, Echols, Lanier, and Lowndes counties).

Adult Literacy classes include instruction in reading readiness, reading comprehension, reading in the content areas, basic math skills, and an introduction to writing and grammar. The GED preparation classes provide instruction in the areas of reading, science, social studies, grammar and writing skills, and mathematics. These classes help develop the skills necessary for completion of the GED examination.
