PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. – Central Arizona College will hold a series of General Education Development (GED) prep classes at several locations throughout Pinal County during the 2013 spring semester.

CAC is encouraging students to register for the GED prep classes this semester so they may take the current GED exam prior to the implementation of a new test by the GED Testing Service in Jan. 2014.

The cost of the new computer-based GED exam is expected to be significantly higher.

The College will offer regular GED classes to help students earn their GED diploma. Classes will be divided into two eight-week periods and are currently provided at no cost for Arizona residents.

Beginning on Thursday, Jan. 3, students may pre-register at any one of Central Arizona College’s locations with proof of legal presence in the United States. Pre-testing will be required prior to the first day of class; test dates will be provided at the time of registration.
