National External Diploma Program - NEDP
The EDP is a national, competency-based high school completion program geared toward adults who have extensive life experiences. It is ideal for those who cannot attend regularly scheduled classes due to job, family or other responsibilities. EDP offers credit for work and life achievements, confidentiality, flexible hours and demonstration of knowledge and skills through real-life activities. EDP candidates will demonstrate high school level abilities through a series of assessment tasks completed at home and during one-on-one meetings arranged at a convenient time with a trained EDP assessor. Although students are required to complete the activities with 100% mastery, the process does not have to be completed within a limited period of time. Click here for additional information
