Get your GED
The letters "GED" stand for General
Educational Development. The GED is the equivalent of a high school
diploma for people who did not finish high school. In order to get your GED, you have to
prepare for and pass an exam. You may also want to determine how
taking the
GED can help you get into college or find out other
reasons why you need a
GED. Locally, you can get help with obtaining
your GED through
Haney Technical Center and the
Passport Program at Gulf Coast
State College.
Distance Learning
Some people may find it more
convenient to take classes online. The State of Florida has several
resources for you to participate in online distance education courses.
Check out the
Florida Virtual School and the
Florida Distance Learning Consortium.
