Adult learners can prepare for the GED exam by taking free classes offered through Kishwaukee College’s Adult Education and Transition Programs division.

Classes begin the week of Jan. 14. GED classes cover reading, writing, science, social studies and mathematics. Adults work at their own level and speed. GED preparation classes are free for the participants.

There will be no class held on Jan. 21 in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. This class has an open enrollment, which means students can join the class at any time during the semester.
