High School Equivalency (HSE) Instruction

The High School Equivalency test preparation offers students an opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills needed to successfully pass a nationally recognized high school equivalency test, including the GED® or HiSET® exam. Topics include science, math, social studies, reading, and writing. High School Equivalency courses are offered on Central Piedmont Community College Central Campus, select community sites, and online & self paced (must meet level requirement).

Central Piedmont offers two assessment options for earning a High School Equivalency Diploma. Applicants can take either the:

  1. General Educational Development (GED®) Test, or
  2. High School Equivalency Test (HiSET)®. 

Successful passage of either test results in the same High School Equivalency Diploma issued by the North Carolina Community College System.

There is no charge for preparation classes; however, there is a fee for final testing.
