The term “GED” is a registered trademark of the American Council on Education (“ACE”) A GED® recipient has the same general level of academic achievement as a typical high school graduate, essentially it is the equivalent of having a *Grade 12 certificate.

*The South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) have evaluated the GED® as being the closest comparable qualification to the National Senior Certificate.

The GED® is not only recognised in South Africa but also in the United States and many other countries.
You can seek employment and education both nationally and internationally with a GED®.

It increases your chances of further studying and getting employment abroad. Since a GED® is recognised internationally, it is a great addition to you even if you have already written your matric.

It will allow you to enrol in universities or seek employment internationally which would not have been possible with only a South African matric.

Having a GED® significantly improves your chances of finding employment locally because it will prove to your employer that you have a good learning base with a broader knowledge which will make you a better choice for an employer.
