The course is 60 classroom hours. See the online schedule of ABE classes here.

Why the GED?
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people get their High School Equivalency Diplomas. People like you. Maybe you had to leave high school to help take care of your family. Maybe you felt you just did not “fit in” at the high school you attended or maybe you just did not believe the high school diploma would really mean anything. And now you know what it means NOT to have it.

The Benefits
Getting A Better Job An overwhelming majority of jobs in this country require a high school diploma. An Official GED Transcript is accepted by most employers just like a high school diploma.

Feeling Self-Respect
By earning this diploma, many GED graduates experience a remarkable improvement in how they feel about themselves and their lives. It makes a difference!

Continuing Your Education
An Official GED Transcript is accepted at most colleges and universities across the country as proof that you have completed your high school education. Some colleges even have scholarship programs for GED graduates.

Investing In Your Future
Educated parents have better-educated children. Earning a High School Equivalency Diploma is not only an investment in yourself, it is also an investment in the future of your children.
