See what educators are saying about us
"Other programs skipped steps and worked through problems quickly, but Essential Education takes a step-by-step approach explaining each step of the process. Since making the transition to exclusively using Essential Education, students have fewer questions and can work independently for longer periods of time."
"My students really like the program, especially how well the content matches up with what they see on the GED exam."
"We love Essential Education. We have had 20 students start, and they have worked 118 hours. Not one student asked for help using the program; it is that easy. The feedback from students is great. Reports are easy. I am so happy!"
"This isn't just a 'test prep' program; it's a program built around an individualized, skills-based curriculum. The practice tests and test readiness data correlate well to the student's ability to achieve success on the GED and HiSET test."
"Essential Education has given us the ability to take our distance and hybrid learning to a new level. Students at all levels are able to access learning materials anywhere, anytime. They can use Essential Education as a supplement to their in-person learning or as their primary instructional material."
