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.
