Adults Achieving a College Education (ACE)

Monterrey Tech program

Rio Salado College and Monterrey Tech of Mexico have teamed up to provide accessible, affordable computer classes for Spanish-speaking individuals to develop skills in using a computer, email, and MS Office software (Word, PowerPoint and Excel) in a supportive, hands-on environment with bilingual instructors. The program, often the first higher education experience for many students, provides both technical instruction, as well as an avenue to gain exposure to the online learning mode. Monterrey Tech courses are taught in Spanish and designed to maximize computer skills for those with limited English proficiency.

Benefits of the Program

  • Gain practical skills in using the computer and the internet
  • Bilingual instructors
  • Improve job skills
  • Learn in a supportive, culturally sensitive environment  

How the Program Works

Students enroll for a 16-week non-credit class at one of eight community-based locations, and attend class 6 hours per week.  Participants progress through seven modules which become progressively more difficult. Those who complete all modules with 80% or better earn a diploma from Monterrey Tech. Students are encouraged to continue their English studies and take additional courses.
