Attention Fort Hood Education Center Customers:

Soldiers interested in enrolling in BSEP must attend a MANDATORY brief.   The BSEP brief will be held every Monday at 1045 in the Education Center (Building 33009, 761st Tank Battalion Ave).  Soldier will check-in at the front desk (G201) and the brief will start promptly at 1045.

The Basic Skills Education Program (BSEP) provides on-duty remediation in reading, mathematics, and test taking skills.

BSEP classes are closed on III Corps training holidays and federal holidays. 

The goals of the program are to:

  • Improve job proficiency

  • Raise GT scores for career advancement and reenlistment purposes

  • Increase potential for completing higher education and vocational technical programs

Eligibility:  Soldiers looking to increase their GT score to a 110 or higher are encouraged to enroll in BSEP. Commanders may recommend enrollment in BSEP for Soldiers who do not meet reenlistment requirements or who may benefit from an academic refresher.
