Look in the phone directory under colleges/ schools/ technical institutes. Call them and see what the criteria is for getting it done. I know some schools will give you one "IF " you can past the test. You will have to pay a fee for doing this, but I do know you can get it done. You can get credit for what you already know, if you pass the test to do so. You might even try some on line schools and get your diploma even faster. This has a lot to do with where you are located too. Are you in the UK now? Are you in the USA? If you are in the USA then what I just told you should help. Try the University of Phoenix on line school, as I know they do stuff like that, but I'm not sure how quick you can do it. I hope this helps you. Good Luck!!!

An adult has to go through the entire GED course. There is no LEGAL short-cut.

Nov.29/ 06 I'm surprised the Tech college you achieved the other honours from, didn't Advise you on continuing Education. If you are a Sup' you have higher priority then Lesser positions, Talk to management about continuing your Education, & Re- turning to the same College. You should have rec'd a diploma after all this other Training. I'm puzzled why you Need a diploma after 12 years of Steady Work on same job? but you know best. Good luck.

Although there are dozens of on line college degrees available, I only know of one on line service that offers high school diplomas. Check out the education section of buddyandoscars.com. They're listed under the high school heading.
