    The Columbia Area Career Center Adult Education and Literacy program provides FREE online and in-person classes for adult students trying to better their English language skills. Classes begin in September and run through May. New students who register and take placement tests can be added to in-progress classes every few weeks. All students are required to have a current placement test on file prior to beginning classes. Testing will be done in-person at testing locations throughout Columbia. You can register for the upcoming 2024-2025 classes here:

    We offer classes during the morning, afternoon, and evening at various locations in Columbia.
