All of the AVTEC departments have entry
requirements for
reading and math. The Test of the Adult Basic Education (TABE) is used
to assess these skills. The minimum test scores required are listed
under "Prerequisites" for each program. Contact Admissions to
arrange to take the TABE test. It is administered at AVTEC throughout
the year. For those who are not able to visit AVTEC to complete their
testing, arrangements can be made to have the test proctored locally.
However, students who are not tested at AVTEC are required to retest at
AVTEC during Orientation to verify those scores. Students testing
below the minimum requirements when retaking the TABE during Orientation
will attend an academic Foundations course in the evenings for the first
four weeks. In addition, if retest scores fall significantly below
the minimum requirements, a counseling session will be held as soon as
possible to determine if attendance in the enrolled program is in the
best interest of the student.
