Basic skills

Basic skills classes (also sometimes called "level-up” are for basic skills including math and literacy.

Sometimes basic skills learners have a particular life-goal that is not strictly academic, such as developing math skills to manage personal banking, or brushing up on writing to be able to fill out reports on the job. 

Other times basic skills classes are a pre-requisite for learners who hope to go on to earn a secondary (high school) credential, but whose skills in one or more areas are too low for GED or Adult Diploma classes.
