For the first time, Northern Marianas College will be offering a course in Carolinian, the second of the two indigenous languages of the CNMI.<\/p>\n
Designed for non-Carolinian speakers, Conversational Carolinian (CA 100) will provide students with the basic structures and vocabulary necessary to converse in Carolinian about common day-to-day topics.<\/p>\n
The new course will be taught by a local Carolinian instructor and will focus on real-life conversational situations. It will be offered during convenient evening hours so people who work full-time during the day may attend.<\/p>\n
The classes will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:00 to 6:25 pm. The course also fulfills the language requirement for Associate Degrees.<\/p>\n

ASVAB prep course<\/p>\n
At the same time, NMC will also offer a preparatory course for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) Test beginning on January 22, 2001.<\/p>\n
The ASVAB Test is the test required of all persons age 17-25 who plan to enlist in any branch of the U.S. Armed Services. An individual’s test score has a direct effect on the type of job he or she qualifies for within the branches of the U.S. military.<\/p>\n
The opportunity to choose from a wider variety of careers or jobs is greater with a higher test score. The ASVAB Test is composed of Reading Comprehension, Basic English, Mathematics and Simple Engineering.<\/p>\n
NMC is offering this 4-day preparatory course for all individuals interested in preparing themselves for the actual ASVAB Test.<\/p>\n
The preparatory class is scheduled to be held from January 22-25, 5:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. in room Y-1 on the NMC campus. The class is designed to review specific test components and provide tips on how to work through each type of problem.<\/p>\n
The class will focus on improving test-taking skills, such as time management and intelligent guessing. The actual ASVAB Tests are scheduled for Jan. 26, at 4:00pm and Jan. 27, at 7:00am. The testing site will be the U.S. Army Reserve Center in Puerto Rico. A valid photo identification is required.<\/p>\n
