Prepare for the GED Now at No Charge!

There are blogs all over the internet that can help you save money by making something yourself, using coupons to reduce total price paid, and finding the best price possible.  You can find that information on just about any topic.  So I thought it would be helpful to do the same with the GED or General Equivalence Diploma.  It may be something that will help you or someone you know.  Our program page can help! http://ohiohipoint.com/adult-education/able-ged.html

Preparing to pass the GED is something you must do for yourself.  But you are not alone.  Adult Basic Education (ABLE) classes are located in each county in Ohio.  There are certified instructors who know what is needed to be ready for the official test.  Classes are usually offered at different times of day and week to be as available as possible.  Our Ohio Hi-Point Career Center ABLE program also offers online classes to help build academic skills.  So there are many resources to “make it.”  For more details check http://ohiohipoint.com/adult-education/able-ged.html

While we do not offer coupons or fee waivers, I can tell you that if you want to save a good deal of money, you want to get the process done before the year 2014.  Right now the cost is $40 to take the entire test.  By 2014, it may cost up to three times that much.  Test administration is being transferred to a testing company and fees will increase.  If you have taken the test and not passed by then, you will need to retake the entire test starting in 2014.  No past scores will be carried over because the entire test content is changing.

The best news is that ABLE has the best price possible!  Our classes to help you prepare are at no charge to adults!  No charge!  That is a great price!  Instruction and materials are provided to build the exact skills you need to pass the GED.

So Google no further.  You can make it yourself, save money, and “pay” the best price to pursue a GED if you call to register NOW!  We will be happy to connect you to resources that prepare you to earn your GED Now!

You Can Be Prepared for Goals Ahead

The conventional school calendar says that school is in full swing now.  The weather reminds us that this is true.  Time for one season to close and another to begin.

You may be experiencing other ‘seasons’ in your life.  Seasons of change and challenge.  The goals ahead of you may be in connection to employment, attending higher education or training, or earning credentials that will confirm your skills and experience to travel new paths.

One credential that is a must to plan a path toward opportunity and success is a high school diploma or GED — General Equivalence Diploma.  It is the first step in opening doors toward a brighter future.  Did you know that over 1 million Ohioans do not have a high school credential?  We in Adult Basic Education are committed to help prepare the residents of our vocational district toward earning this valuable credential.

An important fact for you to know, however, is that the national GED test is changing in early 2014.  The cost is estimated to go from the current $40.00 fee for the entire test to over $100.00 by 2014.   It will also be computerized which may be a challenge for some to be comfortable doing.

So now is a prime time to begin classes at no charge to prepare for the goal of earning a GED before new tests and fees are in place.  Contact us with any questions.  We will be happy to discuss your unique situation and prepare for a new ‘season’ ahead.  You may also want to surf our webpage at http://ohiohipoint.com/adult-education/able-ged.html New classes begin the last week of September.  Call to register!
