Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to ABCO Technology Institute.

All students are required to complete an assessment exam before they are admitted to ABCO Technology’s programs of study. This assessment exam directly relates to their computer skills. The exam will cover foundational knowledge of the proposed course of study, which will assist our instructors in modifying vendor course curriculums. The potential student’s ability to read and write effectively in the English Language will also be tested due to the fact our technical courses require intensive reading and lab assignments. Assessment test will be conducted using a multiple choice format on a computer.

The assessment test is designed to ensure that a potential student will have the ability to benefit from the training provided by ABCO Technology’s faculty and staff.

All students are required to complete the assessment exam prior to their first day of enrollment. A passing score of 70% is required. If a student receives a score of less than 70%, a meeting with the school director is required to determine the best course of action for that student. The test will determine areas of strengths and weaknesses, which will assist our instructors to provide the highest quality of hands-on training, which will allow the student to compete effectively in the job market with their particular set of acquired skills. Assistive Technologies will be provided for all students with disabilities.

The school reserves the right to refuse admission prior to or following enrollment if the applicant becomes ineligible as determined by the policies of the ABCO Management Team or the School Director. Final acceptance or denial is determined by the School Director, subject to the applicant’s right of appeal or request for consideration as a special exception.
