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 you are placed in a suitable class for your level.

To take the test for English as a Second Language (ESL) or State of Illinois High School Diploma (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?
