Due to inclement weather, all Wake Tech campuses will be closed Monday, January 26, 2026. Students taking in-person classes should check with their instructors for more information. Online classes will continue as scheduled. Many Wake Tech services, including Admissions and Academic Advising, are available virtually at virtualsupport.waketech.edu. Wake Tech employees who can work remotely should do so.
Need your high school equivalency, which can lead to better job opportunities? Wake Tech can help you prepare for the GED® or HiSET® test.
Wake Tech also offers Adult Basic Education (ABE) for individuals who want to increase their workplace readiness skills and who need assistance getting to the high school performance level so they can obtain an equivalency degree.
ABE provides instruction in workforce preparedness, reading, writing, math and technology skills. Classes are designed for the needs of the adult learner, and morning, afternoon and evening sessions are offered at several locations throughout Wake County.
Explore career pathways through enrollment in an ABE class and a non-degree Workforce Development class at the same time.
Build foundational skills in reading, writing, math and technology for further educational and employment opportunities. (Available to individuals with or without a high school diploma.)
Begin building background knowledge for passing the high school equivalency test.
A placement test will determine if you're ready for a High School Equivalency Preparation course or need the additional instruction provided through ABE.
