Adult Education / GED®
The CF Levy Campus Adult Education/GED program provides instruction on reading/writing and math to prepare students for each GED exam. We are a blended program with in-person classes, supported with digital resources so students have access to study 24/7. In addition, workforce and college transition workshops are provided throughout the semester. Enrollment into select certificate courses are also offered through our Integrated Education and Training (IET) programs.
Steps to Enroll
“It took me a very long time to be physically and mentally able to go back to school. Before going through this program I was terrified that I wasn’t going to be able to do it, but all of the staff made me feel like anything was possible if I just kept pushing forward. Especially Mrs. Kim and Mrs. Dana who believed in me every step of the way, helping me through all the hurdles and never letting me lose hope. But the quote that helped me get through was, ‘Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming.'”
“They were all so nice there and were invested in my success with the GED program. Everything I needed, they would try their best to help me, not only academically but if I was having some rough times I always had someone to talk to. Not only did the teachers help motivate me to finish but so did the other workers there. That program and all the people there will have the biggest impact on my life.”
“My experience with the program was phenomenal. Every single person on the staff was very supportive when I was getting ready for my tests and just as supportive when I passed them! Anything I needed help with, they did just that, and if I didn’t quite get it one way they would explain it in another. They have been very awesome, I almost wish I could do it again.”
“I felt it was important to get my GED so I could further my education and fulfill God’s will for my life. My journey at CF was very exciting there were many helpful people that encouraged me throughout my three semesters I was there. Now that I have graduated I plan on going to college at the College of Central Florida Levy Campus in spring 2023 to become an EMT.”

GED Exam
Unsure if you need classes? There are four subtests that make up the GED: RLA, Math, Social Studies, and Science. Each subject has an unlimited number of practice tests known as GED Ready tests. They are currently $6.99 each through GED Testing Service and will indicate how well you are likely to do on the actual tests. If you have taken one or more of the GED Ready tests and determine you need classes, please give us a call so we may assist you in getting enrolled.
- Adults can schedule one section at a time of the GED through their GED account. The account links directly to their location and will show all available testing centers within the area.
- According to FLDOE, minors must be enrolled in a qualifying Adult Education/GED program or they may choose to “Challenge” the exam. Candidates who are seeking this option must contact Christine Dunn at dunnc@cf.edu or 352-658-4077, Ext. 2119 to begin the process.
