GED Skills Improvement Classes will no longer be offered at PCPL. The services offered at PCPL by Kentucky Adult Education will now be a GED Access Point. Students can call the same number, 859-412-7635, and schedule an appointment to meet with Joanna Surgener. She will explain the program via orientation, and start assessment testing. Students who are ready will then begin the GED testing process. After the assessment, students who have instructional needs will be counseled and be given an individual learning plan which may include access to online studies and the option to come to the Grant County center for face to face instruction.
