In order to begin MOLearns, you must first fill out an online interest form. After July 1, you will receive an email from the MOLearns office with instructions on how to set up a virtual onboarding and placement testing appointment. Once completed, you will be assigned to a MOLearns teacher and an online orientation course. You will then begin studying for your high school equivalency (HiSET or GED) test.
