Navy College Academic Skills Learning Program
The NCLC is closed due to budget cuts and budget shift to the Online Academic Skills program through Peterson's. As soon as we get the information on the website URL it will be sent out to all for your information.
Commands may request free, instructor taught, academic skills classes in English, math and reading. By upgrading academic skills, Sailors can improve their opportunities for promotion, cross-rating and achieving a college degree. It will still be available through your local Navy College Office. The Navy College Learning Program-Academic Skills provides instructor led classes in three subjects: English, Mathematics, and Reading. Each class covers a single subject. You may enroll in as many classes as you can fit into your work and personal schedules. Each NCLP class is held for a total of 45 hours. Classes are usually scheduled over a period of three to eight weeks. Instruction in the classes is limited to no more than four hours each day. You will be given a placement test on the first day of class. Depending on the results of your placement test, your instructor will prepare the NCLP course materials to meet your needs. During one of the last classes, you will be given a post test to see how much you have progressed. You will receive a certificate for successfully completing the class if your post test score is equal to or greater than your placement test score, and if you have attended a minimum of 80% of the classes. NCLP classes may be held on your base, just ask your Navy College Office staff.
