General Education Development Certificate
The General Education Development (GED) Certificate is not the same as a high school diploma. It is not meant to be a terminal point in your academic career. Instead, it is meant to be a stepping-stone to further academic or skill training. Before attempting to get your G.E.D., you should have a plan for what you intend to do after achieving your certificate.
