basic education accessible. The division addresses the unique
needs of individuals and families within our district so that they
may acquire the skills and knowledge needed to participate fully
in all aspects of modern society. This course is designed to
prepare you for completing the National GED or the Wisconsin HSED. You must take the
actual tests at a testing center. MATC's testing center is on
