Military Careers 2: ASVAB Prep

Course Description:

If you plan to join the military or want to find out what type of military-related career you are suited for, your first step is to take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, or ASVAB test. This ASVAB Prep Course provides in-depth coverage of numerous academic topics for English Language and Mathematics skills, Auto Shop, Mechanical, and Electronics information and General Scientific knowledge.

All students will complete initial units introducing the ASVAB, completing diagnostic tests to gauge prior knowledge in each ASVAB substandard or skill area as well as review skills and strategies for studying and self-learning. All students will also complete four units of study required to achieve a qualifying score for enlistment in the Armed Forces. The Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT) Score for All Branches--Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard--as well as the Clerical and General Technician Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) require All Students to complete the following 4 Units of Study: Word Knowledge + Paragraph Comprehension + Arithmetic Reasoning + Mathematics Knowledge.


Additional personalized study paths will then be created for students based on their individual interests in a particular branch of the military and military occupational specialty. Students will communicate to their instructor the branch and MOS they are interested in pursuing to determine group enrollment into one or more additional study units. NOTE: Based on personal interest, students will complete a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 4 additional standards-based units.

Added Units of Study per Branch or MOS Interest:

  • Navy Nuclear (1): Assembling Objects
  • Marine Corps General Technician (1): Mechanical Comprehension
  • Field Artillery (1): Mechanical Comprehension
  • Combat OR Engineering (2): Mechanical Comprehension + Auto and Shop
  • Surveillance and Communications (2): Mechanical Comprehension + Auto and Shop
