“We want to work with our students to address any questions or concerns they may have,” said Savannah Technical College’s Executive Director of Adult Education. “Change is never easy, but being prepared can help minimize misunderstanding. That’s why we hope people will attend one of our sessions.”
At the sessions, students will learn of the benefits of computer based testing and see a demo video. They will also learn how to register and schedule a test, scholarship opportunities available and how to complete the application for underage youth.
