For New Student Intake testing

1. Find the location where you want to study from the chart below.
2. Choose the class schedule that is convenient for you.
3. Go to the testing for that location and class time. No appointment is necessary. You must attend testing at the location and time you want classes.
4. Bring one original identification document to register. Staff will review your document before you can register. We will not make or keep a copy of your document.
5. Please bring a credit or debit card (Visa or Mastercard only), a check, or money order to pay for your class and complete registration.

Because of high demand and limited space, it’s very important to attend testing at the location and time you want to take your classes.
