Draft:Canadian Adult Education Credential
The Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC, French: certificat canadien d’éducation des adultes) is a battery of five standardized tests to assess if a learner can demonstrate knowledge and thinking skills equivalent to a Canadian secondary school education. The CAEC replaced the Canadian edition of General Education Development (GED) testing, which was discontinued in 2024.[1][2][3][4]
Development of the CAEC was led by the Alberta Ministry of Education, in collaboration with eight other provincial and territorial education ministries, and the Alberta government is responsible for oversight of the national CAEC Testing Service.[5]
