GED Program
General Educational Development (GED) Tests measure the outcome of a high school education. Adults who earn a GED prove they have acquired skills equivalent to those of high school graduates. The test is divided into five sections: mathematics, science, social studies, writing, and reading.
It is highly recommended that GED candidates prepare rigorously for the test through careful study and by completing official practice tests. Candidates who enroll in GED Preparation classes and obtain professional guidance increase their chances of success.The NRCC Adult Education program offers classes to adults in Floyd, Giles, Pulaski counties, and the City of Radford.
