Educate Beyond All Barriers is Indianapolis' premier local hands on training resource center for the general public.
Inspiring Lives, Removing Barriers
Our students recognized the need to better themselves and reach beyond all barriers to change their life course to the best of their ability. We are here to help.
NOTICE: Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) recently announced the transition from the TASC test to the HiSET® Exam.
Educate Beyond All Barriers had just made this change to be compliant with the State Of Indiana. Keeping up to date helps us to be productive in working with the disadvantaged in our communities to reach higher educational goals.
TASC/HSE/GED Preparation Course
The GED preparation course that our organization utilizes is called the Test Assessing Secondary Completion, or TASC. TASC is a national high school equivalency assessment that assesses five subject areas including Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. It measures examinees’ levels of achievement relative to that of graduating high school seniors, and readiness for college and the workforce, as outlined by the Common Core State Standards.
This course is taught by a teacher who is degreed and experienced. The TASC is administered by the state. The course length is 6 to 9 months, depending on an individual’s progress. The course is taught on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm (individual tutoring is available on other days as needed) and we are considering an evening class should there be a need. To ensure the student is ready to take the test for their diploma, we evaluate the students tests before sending the students to the testing site for final exam that can lead to their receiving their diploma. This way we can evaluate if the student is ready to go for their testing ahead of time.
Life Skills Workshops
Life Skills Workshops are designed for all students including seniors and Veterans.
Many students are now experiencing family issues, addiction problems, society concerns (not fitting in or emotionally detached from society), financial concerns (if there is a budget, how to manage on a shoestring budget) and to add to the list, homelessness and hopelessness.
Veterans too have to deal with many problems. According to the Veterans Administration, there are 476,000 veterans living in Indiana and 10% (47,600) of veterans needs could not be met by existing programs. Our live skills workshops help to bridge that gap. A big change is Military to Civilian and all the changes it presents. Our Life Skills Workshops are designed to help Vets meet these challenges. Finally, through our partners, we could refer Vets to various agencies to assist the Vets to the services they need. Yes, together we "Inspire Lives, Change Futures."

Computer Science III: Databases
Computer Science III: Cybersecurity
Computer Science III introduces students to data concepts and get familiarized with the use of ANSI standards Structured Query Language. Students are also introduced to security principles, strategies, coding techniques, and tools that can help make software fault tolerant and resistant to attacks.
AP Computer Science Principles
AP Computer Science Principles introduces students to the foundational concepts of computer science and challenges them to explore how computing and technology can impact the world. AP CSP is considered equivalent to a first-semester introductory college computing course.
AP Computer Science A
AP Computer Science A introduces to students object-oriented programming and design using the Java programming language.
“I am 62 years of age, for employment I yielded to the Goodwill SCSEP program which is a program for seniors. While in the program, Educate Beyond All Barriers visited Goodwill and they were available for offering the new GED program. So, I enrolled with them. Now I am confident that I can learn due to the teachers and staff at EBAB. I now have a confident outlook life! I recently landed a permanent job and I still will attend the program at EBAB until I graduate because of the wonderful program and the way that its ran. Thank You.”
