Hi

I have written about bogus online degrees ad nauseam but there is another scam that you need to be aware of. That is, one offering you a chance to do your GED (General Educational Development) online.

Sylvia E. Robinson, executive director of the GED Testing Service, the official GED test administrator, had this to say on the American Council on Education (ACE) website:

"GEDTS is deeply concerned with a recent increase in the number of web sites purporting to offer GED testing online or through the mail.

We would like everyone to know—and share with others—that the GED Tests are not currently offered online and can only be taken in person at an official GED Testing Center.

Any services that purport to offer a GED credential through any other means are not affiliated with GEDTS or ACE, may be of dubious value, and may deliver a product that is not accepted by employers, colleges and universities, or the military."

So there you have it - you can’t do a GED online or via correspondence. If you decide to the GED, visit the ACE website . You can’t go wrong there.

What you can do is get your high school diploma online - not just any ol’ diploma but an accredited one. This not only opens up opportunities for people to get a high school diploma in the convenience of their homes but provides an alternative to the GED.

Recognize that a GED holder is just that - a GED holder - not a high school graduate. In many cases, employers consider the GED to be of a lower standard than a high school diploma. All the more reason to get your high school diploma online if you don’t already have a GED.

When you add into the mix the fact that a high school graduate earns on average, $700 more a month than a non-graduate (according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics), you can see that it is one of the most basic, yet essential qualifications to have.

Hi-

According to the U.S Census Bureau - in 2003, 85% of American adults age 25 and over had completed at least high school - the highest percentage on record.

Are you among the 15% who did not complete high school but would like to get a high school diploma? According to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, it could be costing you at least $7000 annually in additional earnings.

One way to add this $7000 to your bottomline is to get your high school diploma, online.

Since you would not have to attend a physical class, you’ll have more time to take care of your family, work-related responsibilities or whatever activities you have grown accustomed to doing since leaving high school.

When choosing an online high school diploma program - here are some things you need to watch out for:

1. Is the online institution accredited (can’t stress this enough)

2. How long has the online high school been around?

3. Can the curriculum be tailored to specific learning needs?

4. How often is academic support available and through what channels.? 

4. What percentage of the graduates go onto college?

5. When is the tuition due and what expenses does it cover?

6. What qualifications do the instructors have?

7. What is the student-teacher ratio?

Any reputable online school would be happy to answer these questions truthfully.

One distance education high school I recommend will not only answer your questions but offer a quality student-centered program -

This institution is regionally accredited by Middle States Commission on Secondary Schools and nationally accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council.

Offer toll-free unlimited instructional support.

Was established over 115 years ago.

The curriculum can be tailored to those who only need a few courses to complete their diploma.

A large percentage of its graduates go onto post-secondary institutions.

Becoming a high school graduate will open doors that have previously been closed to you. You could get a better job, go to college or simply feel better about yourself.

If you are ready to access these benefits, simply request free information from this well-established online high school.

Make it a great day
