Video 1 - Video 2

A variety of opportunities are available at Holland College for adults to complete high school credits, prepare to write their GED exam or to upgrade their grades in order to enter post-secondary or skill training programs. Offered in eight centres across the province, programs allow learners to progress at their own pace and to learn in a supportive and friendly environment. Learners can start at anytime of year, and attend during the day or evening on a full-time or part-time basis.

The following programs are available:

  • Preparation for the GED Exam - The GED exam gives adults who have not graduated from high school the opportunity to earn a high-school equivalency diploma. The GED preparatory class assists learners in preparing for the GED exam by providing a general review of basic academic skills and the opportunity to take practice tests. Subjects covered include: writing, social studies, science, literature and mathematics.
  • High School Credits - Learners can acquire high school credits or upgrade existing marks to meet the admission requirements of post-secondary institutions or to complete requirements for the PEI High School Diploma for Mature Students.

Challenge for Credit - available to Home Schooled students
