General Educational Development (GED)

The General Educational Development Tests (GED) are a series of five comprehensive examinations in the areas of Language Arts (writing and reading), Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics. They are designed to measure the major generalizations, ideas and intellectual skills that are normally gained through secondary school.

The GED tests provide an opportunity to earn an official document of Grade 12 Secondary School equivalency standing. While the GED certificate may not be accepted by every employer or post-secondary institution, it may be of assistance in gaining access to university programs.

Please contact Lori De Frias, Continuing Studies Consultant at (250) 828-5297 for further information on special GED preparation courses. For fees and testing dates please refer to the section of this Calendar.
