Frequently Asked Questions about Adult Education Courses at Nassau BOCES
For those with a busy schedule, our part-time courses for
adults are the perfect choice. Classes usually meet twice
a week on alternate days (Mon/Wed or Tues/Thurs) and
from three to four hours per evening. Some licensing or
certification courses meet more frequently.
Do I need a high school diploma?
All students must be at least 18 years of age. A high
school diploma or HSE (GED) is required for all of our
health occupation courses. A high school diploma is
not required for other courses. Nassau BOCES also
offers tuition-free ways to obtain a high school general
equivalency diploma). Call (516) 622-5623 for more
information.
Can I obtain a license or certificate?
Most of our courses lead to a Nassau BOCES Barry
Tech Certificate after the certificate requirements
are completed. You must request your certificate by
completing and submiting the Application for Certificate.
Some programs, such as Certified Nurse Assistant, provide
certification from New York State. Successful completion
of the 1000-hour Cosmetology program and state tests
provide a NYS license. Other program certificates prepare
the student to sit for optional nationally-recognized
certification exams. After every course is completed, a
Letter of Completion will be mailed to the student’s home.
Does the Nassau BOCES Adult Evening
Program partner with state and local
agencies?
The Nassau BOCES Adult Evening Program partners with
state and local agencies to provide career education
and training to adult learners, including: New York State

Workforce Investment Boards (Hempstead Works, Town
of Oyster Bay/North Hempstead), Long Island Forum
for Technology/Connect LI, ACCESS, unions, employers,

community-based organizations, county government, and
business councils.

Does Nassau BOCES offer financial aid or
tuition assistance?
Nassau BOCES does not provide financial aid or tuition
assistance for our adult students. However, grant funds
and tuition vouchers obtained by the student from
corporations, agencies, and other funding sources are
usually acceptable forms of payment. Nassau BOCES is
a certified educational facility with the New York State

NYS office) and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs at
