How It Works

The MTCC HSE program offers class in the day and evening, English and Spanish, for students who have busy lives and need a program that understands and encourages them.

Students complete HiSET exams in the following subjects: -Reading -Writing -Science -Social Studies -Math Open to ages 16 and up. If the student is a minor, a Minor Release Petition (MRP) Form must be completed. An orientation and initial assessment is required for all registrants.
