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.
Central Piedmont offers two assessment options for earning a High School Equivalency Diploma. Applicants can take either the:
- General Educational Development (GED®) Test, or
- 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.
