FEES:

Note: In Ontario, school boards, community colleges and universities are prohibited from using public funds for GED high school equivalency programs.  However, Social and Employment Services (Ontario Works and LEAP) in Toronto, Niagara and many other municipalities have financially supported their clients in our programs.  WSIB clients may also qualify for support. Contact us at info@ged.on.ca if you need help arranging support from these programs. Occasionally, Employment Insurance (EI and Reach Back) and ODSP also support persons in our GED coaching programs.  As well, a number of employers encourage and support workers who do the GED Achievement program (--see below for a list of some of the employers that have in the past financially supported dozens and in some cases hundreds of their employees in the GED Achievement program).

Readiness Assessment: The Readiness Assessment uses typical kinds of items that appear on official GED Tests to determine a candidate’s abilities in various areas, including understanding and problem solving. It also provides a preview and preparation for the final GED Tests.

Those whom our analysts believe are ready to write the final tests are given pointers to improve their success, and told how to proceed directly to the Ministry testing process.

Those who need coaching will have their results shared with the coaches so that the coaching process can be both efficient and successful (approximately 90% of persons whom our analysts have welcomed into our program succeed on all 5 subtests).

Those who may be ready now to write the Tests, but who wish to improve their transcript scores are also welcome to join the coaching program.

Those who our analysts believe would not be successful at this time are given an accurate picture of their current abilities relative to the demands of the GED Tests, and are counselled in terms of activities and upgrading possibilities that will likely lead to later success.

Fee: (cash, cheque, credit card) -- $120 for the Readiness Assessment (3-hr. test, scoring, analyzing, orientation and counselling). To tell us that you plan to attend or for more information call: 1-888-433-1211, (Toronto: 416-481-6043), or e-mail us at info@ged.on.ca

GED Coaching: The GED Coaching program is a compact and highly effective program that allows capable adults to succeed on the GED Tests at levels that match their real abilities and experience. A number of things happen: candidates practice test items similar to what they will encounter on the final Tests (a total of 7-1/2 hours of testing done over two days); needed understandings are taught; the "rust" is brushed off skills that have not been used for some time.

The cost of the coaching program includes the administration, scoring and analyzing of the Official Practice Tests (3-1/2 hours), and ‘fine-tuning’ on exit, and counseling.

Fee: (cash, cheque, credit card) – Full program (including Official Practice Tests) - $485; partial program (including Official Practice Tests) can be as little as $390. Materials fee of $50 covers textbook, Casio FX260 calculator and GED Achievement–developed resource materials.

Other Services: Upgrading opportunities can be provided at a moderate cost. Quotes are based on an individual’s needs. The Official Practice Test, if done outside of the coaching program, is $125 to $145.depending on the post-test service requested.

Final GED Tests: The Ministry of Education administers the Tests over a two-day period and issues the Ontario High School Equivalency Certificate. The fee is $100.  Contact the Ministry of Education – Independent Learning Centre to register:
