Adult Education and CAEC

Our Adult Education classrooms are supportive and friendly places where you can complete or upgrade high school credits or prepare to write the Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC), which is a high school equivalency certification. We have classes during the day or in the evening in centres across the province. Courses are free of charge to Island residents, and we provide textbooks at no cost.

About Adult Ed

Info about Adult Ed., our locations, and how to request a transcript.

If you need high school credits or need to upgrade your marks in academic English, psychology, family living, math, biology, chemistry or physics to meet the admission requirements of a post-secondary program, we can help you. All credits are recognized by the PEI Department of Education and are accepted at all universities and colleges across Canada. Courses are free of charge to Island residents.

We offer some credits online, an excellent way to upgrade if you have a busy schedule.

For more information about Adult Education programs and courses, post-secondary programs, and admission requirements, send us an email or call 902-566-9362.

You may write Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC) tests to receive your high school equivalency if you did not finish high school. Many community colleges and universities will accept you as a mature student if you have a satisfactory CAEC score. In order to write the tests you must meet the following requirements:

You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
You must be a PEI resident
You must be at least 18 years of age
You must not be enrolled in high school
You must not have a Grade 12 certificate

Courses are free of charge to Island residents. If you have any questions about the CAEC program, please send us an email or call 902-566-9362.

Once you have completed your upgrading or earned the academic credits you need to apply for a Holland College program, we can help guide you through the admissions process. Holland College reserves program seats for qualified Adult Education students.

If you are accepted into a program at Holland College, and you have been in the labour market for one year, you may be eligible for SkillsPEI Funding, which means you could receive up to 70% of your program tuition and receive employment insurance while you are in the program.
