GED
Obtaining a General Educational Development (GED) and enhancing basic skills help ensure working adults are able to remain in the workforce and improve individual earning potential.
The GED exam is used to award a high school equivalency diploma. The GED tests individuals on their knowledge of Math, Science, Social Studies and Language Arts. Testing centers for the GED only offer a computer version of the test, but the students can also test remotely from a computer. Once the exam is complete, the diploma equivalent is nationally recognized.
