01
What it is
What is GED®?
A high school equivalency credential earned through four exams.
The GED® is an alternative high school equivalency credential. Learners earn it by passing four official subject examinations: Mathematical Reasoning, Reasoning Through Language Arts, Science and Social Studies.
GED® Academy prepares you
Preparation is not the credential.
The online GED® Academy programme helps you study for the exams. The official GED® Ready® practice tests and GED® examinations are booked and paid for separately.

Who it suits
An alternative to secondary school
Independent learners
Changed circumstances
Further study goals
Older learners
Flexible does not mean effortless.
The GED® is best suited to motivated learners aged 16 or older who need an alternative to traditional secondary schooling and are ready to study consistently.
A flexible option when mainstream schooling no longer fits health, travel, work or family needs.
A high school equivalency credential that some colleges, training providers and universities accept.
A way to complete an important educational milestone without returning to a conventional classroom.
Important
Recognition and admission are not universal.
Institutions and employers set their own admission requirements. Always confirm acceptance with the specific university, college, training provider or employer you plan to approach.
