How long will it take me to earn my GED?

Our program is designed with you in mind. Our aim is to help you complete your goal within 1-3 months; however, it is impossible to say exactly how long it will take because this depends on you. Your commitment, how much you already know when you get here, combined with how much you study and attend classes will determine how quickly you complete the program. Remember, you will never finish if you don't start!
