PASSED MY GED TEST THIS YEAR!! Was late to take my early period Social Studies part of the TASC and this guy who worked there was kind enough to let me take it after I took my Reading TASC. School works with your schedule since I took night classes. Teacher was helpful, including the staff at this school. I recommend also study at home and online if you are eager to pass quick. You dont need to take the readiness test if youd rather take the TASC test directly. They have free applications from the school where you can fill out and drop off. They would send you a mail and contact you within 5-6 weeks to schedule a seat for the test. Recommend this school as well if you work during the day. Classes is about 3 days a week, I did evening which was from 5:30-8:40PM
I applied and took the entrance test for the medical billing and coding program and past. when the class was suppose to start I recieved a call stating the teacher for the class will be retiring so the class wont be given..........So I asked when will the next class start and all they can say is I dont know so i said who can I talk to that does know... once again she stated i dont know who you can talk to just come to the school and ask. So i did and No one knew anything. My issue is dont you know months ahead to when your going to retire.
I think this school is good for people getting GED & Patient care certification if your starting out. I dont understand why??? People keep on saying that this school is for free. It all depends what you taking. The medical programs you have to buy medical books. Not sure about the other programs. You have to pay for each certification as well. Everything adds up. Computer classes you have to buy books & pay certifications.Iam just giving u an idea... I would give this school 50/50 rating. Not bad & not great. But, as I said if you need ur GED this place will help u to achieve that goal. Good luck.
I received my GED there when I was 50 years old. The support was tremendous! I am going back for Computer classes. Love this place, it changed my work life! Thank you.
Its a very good school , the teachers i had were very helpful , loving and understanding . i did lots of my courses there including getting my GED and it was worth it all the way.
I been a student from December 2015 to the present and my experience has been very positive , I have learned a lot and my instructor Mr. Campos is very good and knowledgeable in digital technology. Brooklyn Adult Educational Center offers many courses for adults for free , I recommend the school 100% take advantage and learn for free.
I signed up for the classes a few months ago, the person on the phone took my information and reserved a spot for me! After months of waiting I was told on the first day of the classes that there is no space for me and the classes have already started! There was also no record of my information. Staff is Very unprofessional and rude. Waste of time!!!
Great classes. I earned my certifications in Medical Billing and Coding, Medical Administrative Assistance, EKG and Phlebotomy Technician. My issue with BALC is there is no job assistance after earning these certifications. Its been a year and I still cant find employment and my certification will expire next year. BALC needs to build relationships with hospitals and various medical agencies in assisting its students gain employment. Great classes but incomplete in employment.
If I could give them no stars I would. I called and was put on hold as soon they picked up the phone. I asked for information on the LPN program she quickly said “ No we don’t have Lpn here, bye” was so rude I had called back to tell her about herself. Where I looked up this information about this site stated they have EMT and LPN programs.
My 2 Classmates Are Awesome.
I got my GED DIPLOMA here. So happy. Their work great with the students, didnt feel like a number as other schools would treat others. THANK YOU.
A wonderful place. There are free classes, (ranging from basic education to A+ & Network + Certified), flexible schedules, (morning, afternoon, evening, and Saturday classes), and hands on experiences and resources to teach you, and to prepare you, to be whatever you want to be. Nothing like it!
I agree with the guy in the first review. When you call for information about things they cant answer them or say they dont know. They have another location in queens but its too far for me and thought this would be convenient but it didnt work out because lack of professionalism and training they have in this school it complete turned me off to come here will be finding something better that suits me. Good luck everyone
This change my life in a postive way....the teachers are veryyyy n I say veryyyy patience...makes learning worth learning...All ...mrs Rodriguez...ms Bomen.the security staff All staff on board case workers the whole team keep Doing your best
I spent 2 years in the class and got my GED. The teachers were great. Never give up!!!!
Very happy going there, Got there in December receive my Diploma in July needed help with my math, I was in MS Parker class and i learn Alot ***** going back for computer class ****
If you want your GED this is the place its never to late to achieve your goals in life.
I went there like 30 days ago to do the TASC test .I called them before to get there , and they gave me a wrong information . when i got there the guy named Hamintol who was taking information , was so rude with me is a impolite person he just told me that I missed the the test . He did not help me. they dont know nothing.
I was hoping this lady MARIA would be able to help me with the Tasc program but every question I had her answer was I dont know.She dont even know where I can study for the TASC test!Really horrible service, most of these workers arent even qualified for the job they do!!
THE BEST CHOICE I EVER MADE IN MY LIFE WAS COMING TO B.A.L.C. FOR MY G.E.D. AND THE STAFF IS GREAT HERE, I RECOMMEND FOR THOSE WHO IS LOOKING TO GET THERE G.E.D. TO COME HERE AND GET STARTED. AND THE BEST TEACHER IS MS. ROBERSON, OUR MATH TEACHER SEE YOU MONDAY, 11TH
Sounds like a good place to take classes and enhance learning
This place is very helpful, they have classes that works with just about any schedule, I had a great teacher (mr S) you get what you put in, your work hard you will succeed.
Its good for adults learning and to move forward in life.
Brooklyn Adult Learning Center has helped me to Achieve my Goal.
The three teachers I had were amazing. Im waiting to get back in to find finish the classes I took last year.
This is where my career All began Im grateful for the teachers that I had . A special Thank You to MR FRENCH and MISS P .
Thats surprising and amazing place hope that I keeping my
Brooklyn adult educational center is a grate place for adults to get an education or upgrade their skills, the staff are very helpful and inspiring.
My review is based on telephone service. You call to get information and have to call numerous times sometime for someone to pick up ,When they answer they either dont know anything or Its just you have to come in to inquire. I went in and sat there under 30 mins . Majority of the time is waiting your turn to get information and register.
The teachers are staff are very kind and they take the time to educate their students.
Dont u guys have facilities for wheel chairs and strollers just in case if a mom comes to sign up and she has a stroller with her like wise a disabled person comes there for the same purpose
This school and its staff changed my life. So grateful for this place

This place change my life. I got my High school equivalence here,thank you Mr lewis and BALC.

Worst incompetent school ever gave me wrong enrollment into and told me I cant take the test because in 20 and not 21
When is the next ged test and how do I take it?
They should shut the place down, they have no interest in helping the community. This was my second time calling, so rude and disappointing
Their service is terrible! I tried calling them about 50 times; no one picks up the frekin phone!

2022-02-11My experience was great. The building is being refurbished or something. Its covered by contractors protective material, but the service indoors is warm. I had to wait a little, as the receptionist was attending to others, however when it was my turn, it was worth the wait. She was polite, kind, thorough and patient. My queries were dealt with professionally. Thank you

2021-07-29I was in this school for a few years and they never gave me a chance to take the tasc exam. So I went to beoc downtown and got my diploma after four semesters. Coming here was a waste of time but I did meet some very cool people here.

2019-05-23It is a very good school to pass a TASC test. They also have multiple other classes like nursing, computer etc. If you need math for the high school test, college or any other reason you should request Ms. Parker as a teacher. She is highly qualified and experienced and knows math on a very high level. Passing scores guaranteed.
