Adult Basic Education

Gone are the days of getting a job because of “someone you know,” even “what you know,” but more-often it is the “how you know it” that is important. With competition higher and employment opportunities lower, a high school diploma is essential.

Adult Basic Education (ABE) is a provincial program for adult learners and is made up of three levels: Level I refers to basic literacy and roughly equates to K-6; Level II is considered equivalent to grades 7-9; Level III corresponds to grades 10-12 and requires the completion of a minimum of 36 credits in order to graduate.

Funded by the Department of Advanced Education, Skills & Labour, in 2004 CEN opened its doors to adult learners looking for assistance with their basic literacy learning. Since then, it has gone on to offer an e-learning class on the Northern Peninsula.

Students are offered customized programs, assistance with reading and writing, friendly and supportive learning environment and the small classroom size allows one-on-one hands on assistance.
