Adult Education and Academic Upgrading
Programs and services to help adults complete their high school diploma (GED), upgrade their credits or enhance their literacy in reading, writing, math, and communication.
A new high school equivalency program developed to replace GED tests. The CAEC is a reliable indicator of Canadian adults' level of educational achievement equivalent to Grade 12 diploma. Individuals who did not finish high school can register to take a series of five CAEC tests which, when successfully passed, allow them to receive a PEI Grade 12 equivalency diploma.
The following five subject areas are covered:
- Mathematics
- Reading
- Social studies
- Science
- Writing
CAEC test outcomes and sample tests are available to review online.
Qualified candidates for Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) can be exempt from writing a CAEC subject test since PLAE recognizes learning gained outside of the CAEC tests. Visit website for full details.
Accommodations are available to support candidates that are related to a medically diagnosed condition or extenuating circumstances. Visit website for full details.
Note: The GED will continue to be a recognized credential. For current GED holders, the credential remains valid and does not expire.
