Georgia High School Equivalency Program

Welcome to the official spot for the Georgia High School Equivalency (HSE) Program, previously known as the GED Testing Program. Here, you’ll find all you need to know about choosing a pathway to get your high school equivalency, taking tests or enrolling in classes, and earning your HSE credential. The Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) now offers several ways to earn your high school equivalency. You can take tests on a computer either at a testing center or from home: the GED® test or the HiSET® exam. TCSG also offers a way to earn a high school diploma at eight locations across the state through a program called Career Plus.
