It varies. Sometimes it will only be a couple of weeks. Other times it can be a month or longer. It depends on how many tutors we have available at the time, which classes are going on and the times you are available to meet. Usually the more open your schedule is, the quicker we can place you.

Our group classes typically average 3 or more learners.

Unfortunately, we can’t give you an exact answer. How long it takes to get a GED depends on many factors including your current reading and math level, how long it’s been since you were in school, and how much time you can devote to studying outside of class.

For someone who has only been out of school a couple of years, has lots of time to study, and is reading at a high school level, getting a GED can take from 6 months to a year.

For someone who has been out of school for many years, doesn’t have much time to study, and has difficulty reading, it could take many years to get a GED.

Once you come in for pre-testing and we get to know more about you and your situation, we’ll be able to give you a better idea of how long getting a GED might take you.

Yes.
