Lake Land Community College has announced that they will offer free GED and Basic Nursing Assistant Classes to the public starting in August. The GED classes will be offered in Shelbyville and Pana, while the BNA classes will be offered in Pana.

The college’s Director of Adult and Alternative Education Dirk Muffler says the goal of the GED classes is to prepare students for all areas of the GED exam.

Muffler says everything with the GED classes is free, there is no catch. The only cost to the student will be once they are ready to take the GED exam.

The first meeting of the GED classes will be Monday, August 14th at 5:30 p.m. at Shelbyville Christian Church, and on Thursday, August 17th at 5 p.m. at the Western Region Center in Pana.

The BNA class will begin on August 7th at 5 p.m. at the Western Region Center in Pana. Muffler says the goal of this class is to help those that are struggling with finding or keeping work to get closer to becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant.

If you have any questions about either of the classes offered, you can call Muffler’s Office at 238-8383.
