This course is for people who need to develop their skills in any area of mathematics to prepare for high school credits, training programs or employment.
It is recommended for those who have been out of school for several years and who may have done some math credits prior to 1999. It is also recommended for people who simply need some stronger math skills in their everyday lives (measuring, budgeting, problem solving etc.) After a brief assessment with an instructor, learners will be helped to develop individual training plans, and move at their own pace towards their goals.

| Registration |
|
Registration for the Gateway to Learning Program takes place on an ongoing basis so you can register at almost any time throughout the regular school year.
How do I register?
- Contact the location nearest you to register
- Set up an appointment for an intake interview and assessment of your current reading, writing and math skills
What should I bring to the interview?
- If you have a transcript showing any high school credits or the results of a GED pre-test that may be helpful but it is not necessary
What is the "interview" about?
- We like to talk to you about your previous education, work experience and your goals in coming to the program. All of this information helps the instructor in adapting the program to suit your needs.
How much does it cost to register?
- There is no cost for this program
Do I need any books or school supplies to start?
- You'll just need a binder, paper, pen, pencil and eraser to start. If you don't have them, we can supply some of those items if necessary
