A chance to get certification equivalent to a high school diploma

What Is the GED?

The General Education Diploma (GED) is a nationally recognized certificate that demonstrates you have the same level of academic knowledge as a traditional high school graduate. GED is an alternative program for a high school diploma provided to out-of-school youth. With this program, individuals can be equipped with the necessary academic skills and knowledge needed to find a stable job. This program equips students with the academic knowledge and confidence they need to pass the GED exam and move forward in life whether that means starting a career, entering college, or pursuing vocational training.
