FREE CLASSES!

Billings Adult Education offers FREE classes to help adult students (ages 16 or older) prepare for the High School Equivalency Test (HiSET), college or a career.  We also offer English Language Learning classes, keyboarding, computer application using Microsoft Office, college-level digital literacy, online testing and online applications.  Our teachers are experienced and certified, and instruction is personalized and self-paced in a small, safe and comfortable learning environment. 

  • HiSET Preparation - Montana uses the HiSET as its High School Equivalency Exam.  The HiSET is available to Montana residents who are 16 years old or older, not enrolled in high school, and do not have a high school diploma.  The HiSET is composed of five (5) tests in the following subjects, reading, writing, mathematics, social studies and science.  The cost to test is $75.00 and includes three (3) chances to pass each of the five (5) tests.  We offer the HiSET in both paper-based and computerized formats.  Adult Basic Education classes can help you prepare to pass the HiSET!
  • College Preparation - Do you need to prepare for the Accuplacer Test?  Would taking classes for FREE help you get ready for college?  We can help!  Upon applying for college a placement test may be required to evaluate your skill level in reading, writing, and math.  The results are used for class placement.  If your results are below a certain level a remedial class may be required prior to taking college-level courses.  We offer classes, for FREE, that can help you get ready for those college level courses.
  • Career Preparation - Adult Education counselors and teachers help you create an individualized pathway plan, using MCIS assessments to identify possible career choices matching your interests, skills and values.  We can even get you started on your journey to a certificate program with Community Education.
  • ESL Preparation - English as a second language (ESL) classes provide a safe, community oriented approach for students to improve their English language skills.  Classes focus on conversation, reading, grammar, listening and American culture.
