All of our sites offer GED prep, many offer adult credit diploma
programs and some offer the EDP, in addition. The more mature student
with life experience is the perfect candidate for EDP, although, we
certainly get younger students (18-21) in EDP, as well. By CT state
law, we must service all those over 16 years of age in our adult ed
programs. We discourage the youngest ones from doing EDP because of the
lack of life experience. Some of them, though, do have life experience;
like the young mothers or the young people who have always been "on
their own".
The program takes 6-12 months to complete. Some highly motivated people
with higher level skills can do it in less than 6 months.
There is definitely a population of adults without a high school diploma
who would benefit from this program. I always say, if you do not have
EDP, there are people that you are not serving. They are not even
coming to your door because they know about GED and traditional high
school credit programs.

Do your sites offer traditional high school diploma, GED preparation,
and
the external diploma program?
What sorts of students choose the EDP? How long does it usually take
them
to complete it?
