NEDP

  • The National External Diploma Program (NEDP) is a web-based program which offers flexibility to earn a high school equivalency diploma - even if you have a job or other commitments. The NEDP enables you to apply the skills you've gained from life and work experience to demonstrate high school-level skills. There is no classroom instruction. Instead, you work through a series of online activities independently and with an advisor. The program can be completed at your own pace. Advisors are flexible, and will coordinate activities and meetings with you that are convenient for your schedule.
