The Adult Education and Family Literacy Program (AEFL) sponsored by Southwest Technology Center consists of classes offered to adults, 18 and over (16-17 by special release), to meet four basic needs of the adult learner:

Adults who need to learn or improve basic education skills—primarily reading, writing, and arithmetic
Adults who need advanced basic skills—primarily reading, English, math, science, and social studies to obtain a high school equivalency diploma (GED or HiSet)
Adults who need to learn English as a second-language—primarily spoken English (Reading and writing are taught to the more advanced student)
Family Literacy

The instructor evaluates each student’s basic skill level. The instructor works with the individual student or with groups of students according to learning levels. The work is primarily individualized and self-paced, with instruction in the areas of English, science, social studies, mathematics, and reading.

AEFL classes are scheduled year round at Southwest Technology Center. Check with the Adult Education & Family Literacy Director at Southwest Technology Center about classes in your community.

Adult education classes and materials are provided free of charge to students. To enroll in AEFL classes you must complete an online Adult Basic Education Application at www.swtech.edu through the enroll now button on the home page.
