    TO be honest I never heard of an Accredited GED online, I find this difficult because that would mean anyone can take the GED for you and claim to be you also the possibility of cheating. I know there are sites that offer or make claims to offer classes you can take online to prepare you for the GED but then you would still need to go to a testing center to be properly identified. SO be careful with online exams that claim to give GED testing..

    I hope this is not too late. Any online high school must be accredited to be valid. The accreditation service must be recognized by the US Department of Education. There are so many bad ones out there. Your best bet is to buy a GED book and take the test in your state. Even if you do not pass the test the first time, you should only have to retake parts that you scored too low on. Check the department of education for your state,

    GED level courses are normally not offered by online colleges and universities. Programs offered by online universities range from Associate Diploma level courses and onwards. I suggest, you should do a thorough research before joining any online school about which you're not sure whether its accredited one or not.

    Excel High School has an accredited online High School Equivalency Certificate program. You cannot get a GED online from any school. A High School Equivalency Certificate might be just what you need to attend a community college or get a new job. See: www.excelhighschool.com

    Excel High School is associated with AdvancED, SACS and NCA, The Regional Accrediting Agencies.

    Hi Don. The only legitimate online schools are accredited by AdvancED, (NCA) North Central Association and (SACS) Southern Association of Colleges and Schools; or DETC (Distance Education Training Council) These are the ONLY agencies accredited by the US Department of Education period.

    It's simple to weed out the bad guys. If they aren't accredited by one of these agencies, their diploma or GED will be useless.

    Here are the agencies recognized by the US DOE.

    http://www2.ed.gov/admins/finaid/accred/accreditation_pg6.html#NationallyRecognized

    Excel High School does offer an online equivalency program and Excel IS accredited by an agency recognized by the State and US Department of Education.

    Be careful of the scams that operate out of Pakistan. They are lining up to take your money and provide you with a worthless diploma. I hope that helps!

    You did not look in the right place. Go to www.advanc-ed.org. Click on Find Accredited Schools. Type Excel High School. We are listed there in the International Registry for Accreditation. Here is the direct link.

    http://www.advanc-ed.org/oasis2/u/par/accreditation/summary?institutionId=25182

    AdvancED is the parent organization for The North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI), Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC), and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI) are accreditation divisions of AdvancED.

    North Central Association Commission on Accreditation IS recognized by the State and US Department of Education. See the UD Dept. of Education list of recognized agencies at
    http://www2.ed.gov/admins/finaid/accred/accreditation_pg6.html#NationallyRecognized

    You will find our accrediting agency listed as: North Central Association CASI.

    Also, feel free to call you State DOE and your local community college or university and ask them if they recognize regional accreditation/North Central Association CASI.

    I hope that helps!

    Excel High School IS the real deal. There is no disputing that fact.

    I just did an online test at ged pro.com and I passsed it then they called me right away and said congratulations I just got approved for my diploma... but when I was taking it all it said was that it was an equivalency test! Then I get the call that said all you have to do is pay 250$ and ups would bring my diploma in ten days. That sounds to good to be true and I'm scared to send that much money if its not real please help is this place accredited like it said it is??

    North Central Association of Colleges and Schools

    Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities

    Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
