CAEC (formerly GED)

Didn’t complete high school? Want further education?

The CAEC (Canadian Adult Educational Credential) is replacing the GED® (General Educational Development) program.

The CAEC is for adults who do not have a high school diploma and are seeking access to:

employment prospects
education pathways
training opportunities

The GED® is no longer available in Canada effective May 3, 2024. The Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC) provides a high-quality, Canadian education credential to replace the GED®.

There is no effect on the validity of completed GED® credentials. The GED® will continue to be recognized as a valid credential.
