Getting a GED (General Education Development) Diploma

Preparation and Testing Sites

For anyone who did not graduate from high school, General Educational Development (GED) tests in five academic subject areas can be used to certify academic knowledge equivalent to a high school diploma.

GED preparation and testing is not a service that the VET program provides directly. You normally would contact your local school district's adult learning services center, and links to the ones in our AOR are below.
