The GED® General Education Development Preparation program is available to those students who do not have a high school diploma and intend to enroll in a Workforce Education Program. This course provides individualized instruction in preparation for the GED® test and allows you to work at your own pace.

We offer the GED® preparation course in person and online. For more information, please call 954-866-3220.

Prior to enrolling in the GED® preparation course, you will need to complete the Test for Adult Basic Education (TABE) placement test. The TABE test is offered in different locations near the campus. Once you are ready to enroll in our GED preparation, we will guide you on how and where to register to take your test. The TABE test consists of 3 sections, Reading, Language, and Math, and may take more than one day (appx. 4 ½ hours each day) to complete all sections. If you need resources to study for the TABE test, you can find it in the link below:

How long will it take before I am ready for the test?

The GED preparation program allows students to work at their own pace. Each student enters at a different level and dedicates varying amounts of time to studying for the GED. In order to remain enrolled, students must meet the program attendance requirement. Regular attendance in the GED Lab will allow a student to complete the program faster. When a student feels ready to take the exam, a practice test is highly recommended. The practice test has been shown to be a very good predictor of a student’s score on the test. If the score on this practice test shows the student is ready, we will assist the student in registering for the GED Exam.

What about books and materials?

All GED learning materials are in the classroom. There is no textbook required. However, if you want to study at home, please discuss this with the instructor.
