The Adult Learning Center (A.L.C.) is an open lab setting where students work independently to improve skills in preparation for occupational training and/or the GED exam. Students study at their convenience during day and/or evening hours.

Assignments are based on missed questions from the T.A.B.E. test. Teachers are available to guide the learning process and to assist in the understanding of areas that are difficult to the students. The length of time students need to improve their skills varies because individual student needs are different. Student progress is self-paced, and the required skill levels for the various goals are different.

For students who may need help mastering the English language in order to be successful in any of Charlotte Tech Center's courses, there are three locations in Charlotte County where assistance is offered for those whose second language is English.
