to provide an opportunity for these individuals to have their learning evaluated and recognized
and used for work or post secondary studies. Although the GED test represents less of a time
commitment than a high school diploma, it’s not academically easier. The test is graded on an
equivalency scale compared to current high school students. Prepare for and write the GED with

I would definitely recommend the
Electrician program at the North
West College. It was great!
It’s a new start to life! All
my family is located in North
Battleford so I really didn’t want
to have to move. It worked
well for me having a program
right here in town. I received
two scholarships for a total of
$3,000. I received the Viterra
Sask Innovation and Opportunity
Scholarship and the North West
College Canada 150 Scholarship.
The scholarships really made me
feel like all my hard work paid off.
