CAEC PREPARATION
The Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC) is a new high school equivalency program developed in collaboration with provinces and territories across Canada. The CAEC is a Canadian-made education credential that meets industry standards as a replacement for General Educational Development (GED). The CAEC will provide a reliable indicator of Canadian adults' level of educational achievement for employers, post-secondary institutions and others.
Passing GED test scores from the 2002 Canadian GED Test Series will be recognized for test exemption (and count towards the new assessment) until May 2027.
Like the GED, the CAEC is a series of five tests (Math, Reading, Writing, Social Studies, and Science). At BSLN, we break down the GED study materials into easy-to-manage sections, assess your skills and progress to ensure test readiness, and support your individual learning needs. Please check this page for updates. Learn more about the CAEC in Nova Scotia here.
