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.

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??

Only AdvancED / Regionally accredited high schools are legitimate. Here is the list of accrediting agencies that are recognized by the State and US Dept. of Education. Also, if the school is not a member of the BBB avoid them. Don't waste your money.

Middle States, Association of Colleges and Schools

New England Association of Schools and Colleges

North Central Association of Colleges and Schools

Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities

Southern Association of Colleges and Schools

Western Association of Schools and Colleges; Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges.

GED programs online are not valid diplomas. You have to go to a state approved testing center and take the test. GED tests online are not real diplomas. It is a scam. They are called diploma mills. If you don't want to take the GED test you can go to adult night classes at an actual high school. If you don't believe me call a ged adviser and test counselor for yourself.

I am just letting you know through an experience of my own. I took a test online claiming to give me a authentic diploma. Every single college turned me down. I now have to take the read GED test. So the websites that off testing for GED online are not real. It is a scam and you can fork over your well earned cash to be put in a situation like me. Don't do what I did. Regardless you will be forced to take the GED test in person.
