Charlotte Technical Center serves hundreds of adult students annually. The faculty and staff professionals are dedicated to providing quality technical training that relates to jobs in your chosen career field.
Every effort will be made to give the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) to each potential incoming student who does not possess a college degree. Students will be counseled with regard to their results on the TABE test. Based on this counseling, a student may be admitted either with qualifying results for their chosen program or the student may be encouraged to remediate in our Adult Learning Center prior to enrolling in their chosen program.
Every student will be required to take the TABE test before the beginning of the 7th week of enrollment and must meet the required state academic minimums before completing their program.
Students who are 16 years of age or older and have not earned a high school diploma or a GED may be admitted to CTC as an “Ability to Benefit” student in all programs except Dental Assisting and Practical Nursing.
