ABILITY-TO-BENEFIT TESTING & GED PREPARATION CLASSES

If an applicant is beyond the compulsory school attendance age and seeks admission based on their ability to benefit (ATB), the applicant must pass a federally-approved ATB examination.

 PCI currently uses the Wonderlic Basic Skills Test, which is approved by the U.S. Department of Education.

PCI strongly recommends that any person who is not a high school graduate and has not yet obtained the GED Certificate, do so as soon as possible.

 While a secondary school credential is not a requirement to enroll at PCI, nor is it a requirement for graduation, PCI feels that it can greatly enhance each person’s employment possibilities.

 To assist any individuals seeking assistance in obtaining a GED, PCI provides GED Preparation Classes. This training is offered at no cost as a public service..
