PRE-GED AND GED PREPARATION

Preparing for Graduate Educational Development (GED) tests on your own can be intimidating. We can help. Let us set you up for success. 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. The GED program will be replaced by the Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC) on May 3, 2024.
