We offer free day classes for students 19 years of age or older. Our programs, which are available at both our Oshawa and Ajax locations, offer our students the opportunity to improve or refresh their core essential skills in writing, spelling, reading, math, keyboarding and word processing.  There are flexible options for adult upgrading in class, virtually, or on-line through e-Channel.
