The Assessment Center is located at the Lake Technical College main campus in Eustis.

If you are going to enroll in an Adult Education/English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) class OR a Career Technical Education (CTE) program that is 450 hours or more, with the exception of Law Enforcement Officer and Correctional Officer applicants, you will complete standardized basic skills testing (TABE/GOALS or eCASAS) prior to enrollment. You must complete the Lake Technical College online application prior to testing: APPLY NOW

Basic Skills Test Exemption (i.e.: TABE/GOALS): If you earned a standard State of Florida public high school diploma in 2007 or later, OR have a documented accredited A.A.S. degree or above you may qualify for an exemption.  If you have taken and passed the 2014 GED® subject area exam(s) prior to the start of class, you may also be exempt from this testing requirement. A career advisor in admissions will review your official transcripts to determine if you qualify. Please do this prior to testing. Note that some high school diploma types will not qualify for exemption. Speak with a career advisor in admissions if you have questions.

Please allow 30 minutes for check-in for all tests prior to the actual appointment time. Testing fees are paid in the Business Office OR online using “Quick Pay” https://laketech.revtrak.net/. All fees are non-refundable and tests paid for must be taken within 30 days. Rules regarding fees also depend upon what testing you are pursuing (e.g., Pearson VUE tests, etc.). All fees are subject to change without notice. The Business Office hours are Monday, 8am-6pm, Tuesday-Thursday, 8am-4pm, and Friday, 8am-11:30am. Summer hours are different with offices being usually open only Monday through Thursday. Career Advisors in the admissions office are available to discuss test scores during the same business hours.
