What is an
Early College Essentials Technical Certificate?
The Early College Essentials Technical Certificate is designed to give high school students a head start on their college education while they are finishing a high school diploma. Participants must qualify for dual enrollment. It takes two years (11th and 12th grade year) for students to complete the certificate. Students will spend half of their day at their home school and half of their day at ACCA. Students must commit to participating the entire two years to enroll. This certificate is a great option for college bound students looking to graduate early from college/university...and saves their parents money on college tuition! All classes are post-secondary general education classes and are transferable to any University System of Georgia institution.
