Adult Basic

ECC's Testing Center is your location to learn which level of classes you should take through the Adult Basic Education Center. You must complete this step to ensure that you are placed in the right class for your level.

To take the test for English as a Second Language (ESL) or High School Equivalency (HSE/GED) programs, you need an ECC student ID number and a valid email address. If you do not have an ECC ID number, you must complete this form, and a staff member will contact you. Need to reset your password?
