Adult Basic and Secondary Education Services

GED (General Education Development)

The Florence Center offers GED test prep and practice testing to determine students' readiness and assess areas where improvement is needed. In-person GED classes are offered at our Florence campus (call our office to find out the current GED class schedule).

Recognized nationwide by employers and educators, the GED certificate has increased education and employment opportunities for millions of adults since 1942. Lane's GED program prepares you to pass the GED exam.

We honor graduates of the GED preparation program at the annual college commencement ceremony. As a GED learner, you can also apply for scholarships.

Adult Basic and Secondary Education (ABSE) and Adult Basic Skills and GED

If you are under 18, you'll need to obtain an Exemption from Compulsory Education form from your local high school. The form will need to be signed by the school administrator, parent, and student.

College Preparation Courses 

We also offer courses to renew and increase reading, writing, and math skills, if you need to take Lane's college placement exams. Tutoring is also available if you are taking Math 20 and Math 60 classes.

English as a Second Language (ESL)

In-class instruction is currently not available at Florence at this time. Please contact our downtown Eugene ESL program.
