Academic Skills Training

Academic Skills Training helps you:

• Assess Your Strengths/Weaknesses: Short knowledge assessments help you learn about your strengths and weaknesses. The training modules are tailored to help build your skills in any areas that need to be improved.
• Earn Completion Certificates: Students who complete the OASC modules will receive a certificate that states they completed the English & Math Course or English, Math, & Science. This certificate is downloadable and can be given to the student’s command to show proof of completion. Depending on your Service, counselors will recommend you be allowed to re-take the Armed Forces Classification Test (AFCT) or be recommended to receive tuition assistance (TA).
• Get Help When Needed: Use the Academic Help Desk and Online Tutoring when you have questions or difficulty with your course. Real time support is provided around the clock, seven days a week.
• Improve Your Scores: OASC can help you improve your Armed Forces Classification Test (AFCT) or college-entry exam scores.
• Learn Anytime and Anywhere: Whether traveling, stationed in a remote location with limited or no internet access, or stateside in your own home, the OASC Academic Skills Training mobile application is available. Your progress will automatically upload when you have an internet connection and you can continue the course on your phone, tablet or computer.
• Learn Your Way: OASC provides interactive lessons, games, and drills to support your personal learning style. The self-paced programs also allow you to work at your own speed.
• Network with Other Learners: A Peer-to-Peer Discussion Area is available, so learners can ask for help, advice, and best practices from peers. If learners get stuck on a problem or need some encouragement, they are encouraged to visit the discussion area for help.
• Succeed! Practice tests, quizzes, and an end-of-course test provide feedback to ensure that you master the material for training success.

All actively-serving members in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard, as well as members of the National Guard, Reserve components, DoD civilians, and their family members, can use the Academic Skills Training program to help improve their math, English, science, writing, and other communication skills.
