Community colleges throughout the United States offer GED preparation classes. Many community colleges use orientation programs to determine a student's readiness and to assess particular areas needing improvement. The advantage of fees make community college GED prep training affordable to most. Students who cannot pay for training may be eligible for a scholarship or tuition fee waiver.
Online courses offer an independent and self-sufficient learning experience to adults who aspire to get their GED. Online course programs cover, in-depth, all five GED testing areas. Additionally, students have the option to enroll in GED section-specific courses. Almost all online GED prep schools provide test resources, which may include study guides, practice tests and, in some cases, instructors.
There are a number of non-profit organizations that offer free GED preparation training. Goodwill Industries provide job training and education centers throughout the United States. These centers offer a number of job readiness services including GED preparation courses. Goodwill job training and education centers receive funding from donation-driven Goodwill stores. Classes are open to all members of the community over the age of sixteen.
Public libraries offer many choices to patrons preparing to take the GED test. Options include GED guides or GED study programs. In many communities, libraries sponsor online and instructor-lead classes. Some libraries offer childcare and storytelling classes for the children of class participants.
