Developmental, Preparatory, or Basic Skills Basic Certificate (0049)
The program is meant to serve those who want to develop or strengthen their abilities in the basic study skills areas, such as reading, writing, or arithmetic, which are important to daily living and/or further study. This program allows them to develop or strengthen these general skills in a less formalized program structure than is provided for the Basic Certificate in Personal Development. Persons with an interest in this area may enroll in the program even if they do not intend to receive a certificate. Interested individuals should plan their program with a Success Coach.
