Looking for the road to success? Here’s your on-ramp!
Your next step to getting ahead may be found in adult education classes at CPTC. You can start where you are and earn your GED (General Educational Development) diploma. These classes are designed to direct adult learners so that they can compete successfully in today’s workplace. With locations in each of the 13 counties in our service area, the road to success begins close to home.
Beginning October 2020, Georgia now offers both the HiSET® exam and GED test to qualifying individuals. Both tests allow you to earn your high school equivalency credential. The HiSET® exam is one of three tests (GED, HiSET, and TASC) U.S. states and territories use to measure high school equivalency (HSE) skills. Educational Testing Services (ETS) works closely with states to ensure the HiSET® exam closely reflects the skills of a high school graduate and to provide a fair, rigorous exam.

We offer classes that are designed to direct adult learners so that they can compete successfully in today’s workplace. With locations in each of the 13 counties in our service area, the road to success begins close to home.
