The CAEC (Certificate of Adult Education and Completion) program is designed to help adults achieve a high school equivalency credential, similar to the GED, that is recognized in Alberta.

Both the GED and CAEC programs are designed to help adults achieve high school equivalency credentials. The main difference is that the GED was previously the standard, but has now been replaced by the CAEC in Alberta.

The CAEC program typically takes about 6-20 weeks to complete, depending on the individual’s pace and availability.  Our CAEC On Demand Program can be completed entirely at your own pace.  Individuals taking only 1 subject can finish in less than average times.

The CAEC program covers a variety of subjects, including mathematics, English, science, and social studies, similar to the GED program.

FLA funding is significantly limited for the remainder of 2024. If you need funding to attend our full-time 20-week CAEC Preparation Course, please apply as soon as possible to be considered for a funded seat. FLA funding only applies to full-time studies.
