We all know there are individuals who can thrive in your program without a high school education. But it's hard to know who's ready and who needs a little more training. Here's the answer.

The Ability-to-Benefit Test, or "ATB Test", is an all-inclusive, non-proctored exam designed by the U.S. Department of Education to help identify students who possess the basic skills necessary to succeed in a post-secondary education program, but who lack a high school diploma.

The best part? Qualified Ability-to-Benefit students are eligible for Federal financial assistance under Title IV.
