Registration is a time when you first meet with your onboarding counselor or program coordinator. You will complete an application and a few other forms that will tell us a little about you so we can start you on the best path.

You will also be asked to complete an assessment of your reading and math skills. This assessment will help us gear your GED training program to your specific needs. Your counselor or coordinator will review the results with you so you, too, know the path we have set for you.

The High School Equivalency (HSE) program is tailored to your individual strengths and learning needs. While the national average is about one year to earn a GED, many of our students complete the program in less time. How quickly you finish depends on how much time you spend learning in class and studying on your own.

We can help you explore career options and create a Career Pathway based on your interests, strengths, and available jobs in the county. We can also connect you with training opportunities in high-demand fields, including manufacturing, computer and IT, and health care.

Through our access to multiple funding sources, you may qualify for assistance with training programs that can help you build skills for a new career.

Our High School Equivalency (HSE) classes are designed to meet you where you are and support your individual learning needs. Your instructor will work with you to create a program of study based on your strengths and areas where you want to improve.

HSE classes are small and use a variety of learning resources to match your learning style. These may include textbooks, videos, online learning, handouts, and assessments to help measure your progress and readiness. Most importantly, your learning plan will be tailored to your needs. You will have a voice in the process every step of the way.

In Pennsylvania, when you successfully complete the program, you earn a High School Equivalency (HSE) credential. The Pennsylvania Department of Education has approved two testing options for earning an HSE: GED Testing Service and HiSET, an ETS company.

Both tests are based on the academic skills needed to earn a high school diploma in Pennsylvania. They measure the same skills expected of high school graduates and provide the same HSE credential.

We offer testing through both GED Testing Service and HiSET.

Public transportation may be available in your area. If it is not available, please let us know during enrollment. Once you enroll in the OSY Program, we can provide supportive services to help address transportation barriers.
