Vocational Preparatory Instruction (VPI)
The purpose of the Vocational Preparatory
Instructional Laboratory (VPI) is to assess, evaluate, and
remediate an individual's aptitude and achievement in relation
to his/her goal for technical skills training. Diagnostic tests
are given which determine the individual's educational level
in mathematics, language, and reading.
The student may need to improve his/her preparation
so that success may be achieved in the program of study.
An individualized program is prescribed with the goal of
helping the student master the curriculum of the technical
program. Frequently, the student participates in the VPI
laboratory at the same time he/she is beginning the job preparatory
competencies. An additional fee may be charged for the
VPI lab.
For further information concerning the AEL
program, please contact the counselors in Student Services.
