This service provides classroom instruction and individualized tutoring sessions, equivalent to high school education, preparing students for the GED exam. The GED exam certifies that an individual has developed high school-level academic skills. Most employers and colleges require those without proof of a high school diploma to obtain their GED prior to employment or enrollment in college.
