The program covers all four GED® exam subject areas: mathematics, language arts, social studies, and science. Learners are provided with practice tests and GED® free exam vouchers. Designed with a support system and quality instructors, learners develop the math, writing, reading, and critical thinking skills needed to pass the GED exam and earn a Texas Certificate of High School Equivalency (TxCHSE). As you near completion, we’ll work with you on your next steps to advance your career or college goals. Earning a GED® credential can have a life-changing impact on learners.
