GED Saskatoon


In today’s competitive job market, it is difficult to find employment without a grade 12 graduation certificate.  Many adult learners pursue their grade 12 by writing the General Educational Development (or GED) Examination.   The GED Examination consists of five separate tests:
  • Language Arts Reading
  • Language Arts Writing
  • Mathematics
  • Science
  • Social Studies.

Tests are designed to measure the knowledge and skills students would normally acquire after four years of high school.

The YWCA Saskatoon offers a GED Preparation Course to participants of its Employment Service for Parents Program.  In order to be eligible for the ESP Program participants are required to be in receipt of a provincial financial assistance program (i.e.: SAP or TEA) and have a child under the age of eighteen.

Other community organizations offering GED preparation programs in Saskatoon include:

·         Radius Community Centre…PH: (306) 665-0362
