Who Accepts the GED Certificate?

GED certificates are awarded in all of the Canadian provinces and territories, except Quebec, and all of the American states and its territories.

In some jurisdictions, GED test scores are accepted as being equivalent to secondary school graduation requirements for the purposes of employment, promotion, and licensing. Some post-secondary institutions also accept GED test scores in place of completed secondary school transcripts for admission purposes. However, if you plan to use the GED certificate for college/university entrance or for a job application, you should first determine that it will be acceptable and meet the necessary standards or specific prerequisites before you apply to write the GED tests.
