Community Education (Personal Enrichment)
Overview
TBCC is committed to life-long learning. The continuing and community education program plays an important role in this philosophy. Classes in this program are non-credit and students take them for personal enrichment, personal interest, or to enhance work skills.
Offerings Vary by Term
For the convenience of all district residents, classes are offered throughout Tillamook County and vary from short sessions and workshops to full-term courses that are scheduled during the day, evenings, and weekends. Each term TBCC publishes a Schedule of Classes that shows what is being offered for that term. The schedule can be found on our website www.tillamookbaycc.edu or in hard copy at the main campus and is mailed to all residential addresses in Tillamook, County. If you have questions, you can contact (503) 842-8222 ext. 1320.

GED
General Equivalency Diploma Preparation
Students who have not received their high school diploma may study and prepare for the General Education Development (GED)examination at TBCC. GED preparation classes provide students 16 and older an opportunity to study for the GED exam.
Pre-college classes and General Education Development (GED) classes are open to anyone 18 or over who desires to improve basic reading, writing, and math skills at the pre-college level. Students 16 and 17 years old must first obtain an official release from high school before attending class. Adults interested in earning a GED may obtain information from Student Services (503) 842-8222 ext. 1100 or visit them at the main campus. These classes are offered in both English and Spanish.
The GED State Examination
The GED State Exam includes four tests: Reasoning through Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Math. The GED exam is available at Tillamook Bay Community College. Registration and schedules for GED exams are available through the TBCC Library (503) 842-8222 ext. 1720. Candidates should arrive for testing 10–15 minutes before the scheduled exam with state-issued photo identification. Students will need to register and pay for testing online at https://ged.com.
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
The English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Program offers classes for persons whose native language is not English. Students study reading, writing, speaking, listening, and other language skills to improve English in academic, community, and employment settings.
ESOL classes are open to U.S. citizens, immigrants, and refugees who desire to improve their English language skills. Students needing special assistance to participate in the ESOL courses should contact Student Services at (503) 842-8222 ext. 1100, email studentservices@tillamookbaycc.edu, or visit them at the main campus.
CDL/Truck Driving
To help meet the needs of local employers, Tillamook Bay Community College offers a Truck Driver Training Program, which trains students to take the driving portion of the Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) test. To date, 98% of students who have completed the training course have gone on to earn their CDL.
The program consists of four weeks of training including both classroom and driving time–as well as time on the state-of-the-art truck driving simulator–that prepares students for local, high-wage jobs.
The cost of the program is $5,250 plus additional fees associated with a CDL license (approximately $600). Scholarships are available to help cover the cost.
