What is a GED® in South Africa?

Pass GED® Academy is your online pathway to achieving your Grade 12 equivalent through the globally recognised GED® credential.
 
We are the original providers of Essential Education’s GED® program in South Africa, and our incredible, experienced team is known for being extremely helpful and supportive — guiding each learner from registration to success.
 
Whether you are a home-schooler, an adult who did not complete Matric, or you are looking for a flexible route into further study or employment, we have got you covered. (passged.co.za)
 
You will study from anywhere in South Africa (or beyond) via our user-friendly online platform — no physical classroom needed, no rigid schedule. Our program includes interactive videos, quizzes, practice tests and access to our online AI personal tutor. Support is available via our office or you can use our GED tutors if needed. (at extra charge)
 
We guide you step-by-step:
 
  • Start with a diagnostic test so we can tailor your study plan to your strengths and gaps.
     
  • Focus on the four GED® test subjects — English Reading/Writing, Mathematical Reasoning, Science and Social Studies.
     
  • When you’re ready, book your exams at one of over 45 official GED® testing centres across South Africa.
     
  • Once you pass all four tests, you will earn your GED® certification — recognised locally (via SAQA as NQF Level 4) and internationally.
