Mission

The Basic Skills Education Program (formerly known as FAST) is the commanders’ primary on-duty education program. BSEP is a refresher course covering both math and English that soldiers take to help raise their GT scores when re-testing on the Armed Forces Classification Test (AFCT). BSEP is a teacher-facilitated program with computer lessons for learning enhancement.

The program goals are to promote retention, increase re-enlistment options, and improve job performance. Classes begin on the first workday of the month, except federal holidays. Morning and afternoon sessions are available each month, and evening classes are offered quarterly.
