High school equivalency test UK
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction with regards to high school equivalency test.
My Wife left school and straight to work but didn't take any exams and has always worked.
We are emigrating to Canada next year but she needs a High School Equilancy.
I'm told that they can be completed online but that it would be cheaper in the UK.
I know that she would want to be taught, so is there anywhere in the UK.
Many thanks
Regards
Tim

Re: High school equivalency test UK
By 'didn't take any exams' do you mean she doesn't even have any GCSEs never mind A levels? I'm thinking there might be night schools near you, but what might be suitable depends on what it is she wants (and how long she has - if you want to move in a year that wouldn't be time to do a full secondary curriculum). You might want to talk to the council about adult learning courses in your area (as if she doesn't want to do it online, anyone else suggesting options in Belfast or Lincoln would be useless if you're in Plymouth or Aberdeen). Is the high school equivalency for immigration points, or do you have all that sorted and she's just thinking about employability on arrival?

Depending on where you live in Canada, the local school board may offer something that might help. Where I live (east of Toronto), the adults can take high school credit courses offered by the school board for free or for minimal cost towards their high school diploma. I'm not sure of the details, but it's worth investigating.

Those courses are often offered by local community centres or community colleges.
