  • How do I earn my High School Equivalency Credential?

    Posted by:

    Candidates must pass a High School Equivalency Test.  In Massachusetts, there are two test options: the HiSET or the GED. 

    AAEC offers HSE classes to help adults prepare for either of these exams. 

    AAEC is an official Test Center for GED and HiSET.
