Listed below are several options available to Saskatchewan
residents to complete High School through Adult
Basic Education or GED, upgrade
for Post-Secondary, and to find ESL and Literacy
classes.
Once you've completed your program you'll need your transcripts.
Adult Basic Education and GED Prep
1. Did you leave school before completing Grade 12?
2. Do you wish you were eligible for more jobs or training?
3. Are you at least 18 years of age?
4. Have you been out of school for at least 12 months?
If you answered "yes" to these questions, here's
what Basic Education could do for you:
Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science
and Technology (SIAST), Regional
Colleges, Dumont Technical
Insitute (DTI) and Saskatchewan
Indian Institute of Technologies (SIIT) offer a variety
of literacy and academic studies programs that can help adults
earn the certificate they need to get the jobs or the training
they want.
Adult 12 Program
SIAST, DTI,
SIIT and Regional
Colleges offer an Adult 12 program that provides adult learners
with the same Grade 12 standing as students who graduate from
Saskatchewan high schools. The program is designed to help adults
obtain a Grade 12 credential that is recognized by employers
and all post-secondary institutions. To obtain a Grade 12 standing
in the Adult 12 program, you will need seven 30-level credits.
Credits required include:
English A 30
English B 30
Math at the 30 level
Science at the 30 level
One of:
Social Studies at the 30 level
History 30
Native Studies 30
Two electives, which may include a journeyperson
certificate.
The courses you choose will depend on what
you want to do after graduation. You may be able to enroll in
the Adult 12 program without completing Grade 11. Information
from lower level courses has been built into the Adult 12 program
to help adult learners successfully complete the program.
You can also take Adult 12 from regular
high schools or through the Correpsondence School. However, these
courses may not cover information from earlier grades.
If you have obtained 30-level credits through the K-12 system,
you may be able to transfer credits to the Adult 12 program.
GED - General Education Development Grade 12 Program
Another way of achieving Grade 12 is through GED Testing.
Even though you have not finished high school, you have probably
gained knowledge and skills through experiences, reading, and
informal training; the GED Tests are five tests in the areas
of language arts-writing, language arts-reading, social studies,
science, and mathematics. Few questions ask about facts, details
or definitions.
Who is eligible to take the test?
Any person who is a resident of Saskatchewan at the time of
writing, is ninteen (19) years of age or over, or 18 and out
of school for one year, may apply to write the tests provided
he/she does not already possess a Saskatchewan Grade 12 High
School Certificate or a Saskatchewan GED 12 Certificate.
