WHAT IS THE GED & HOW DO YOU GET ONE?
The GED is a high school equivalent diploma. It carries the same weight as a traditional high school diploma when applying for jobs, promotions, or college programs. If you haven't finished high school, a GED is how you get there.
To earn your GED, you need to pass four subject tests: Math, Science, Social Studies, and Language Arts. You can test each subject on your own timeline whenever you feel ready. There's no requirement to take all four at once.

That's entirely up to you. The GED is not a linear process. You can request to test for any subject as soon as you feel ready, even if you haven't finished all the classes for that subject. The faster you learn the material the sooner you can test.
-
No. You can take each subject test separately on your own timeline. Many students pass subjects one at a time as they complete their prep.

Just let us know which subjects you've already passed and we'll enroll you in only the classes you still need.

In order to attend our GED preparation program, an intermediate level of English, both oral and written, is required.
This will help you understand the material, follow classes, and, when you are ready, take the GED exam.
If you're not there yet, we recommend starting our ESL classes, and once you reach, at least, ESL Level 104, you may consider taking classes in our GED Preparation program.

All Aspire GED prep classes are live, instructor-led classes held online through Microsoft Teams. You'll be in class with a real instructor in real time, this is not a self-paced program where you log in whenever you feel like it. Classes are scheduled and attendance matters.
Each class is 2 hours long. To get the most out of the program and be truly prepared when it's time to test, plan to put in additional study time outside of class as well. The more you put in the more prepared you'll be.
YOUR GED IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK
You've been thinking about this long enough. Aspire's free online GED prep program is here, the classes are live, the support is real, and the only thing standing between you and your GED is getting started.
