How long will it take to complete my High School Credential?
It depends! This is a tricky question to answer as every person is different. Often, it depends on the time you have available to devote to your studies. Some students complete quickly, while others take longer given family and work commitments. We do provide considerable support to help get you through!
How much will it cost to get my HiSET or HSC?
If you are a resident of the state of Maine, you are able to take as many classes as you need for FREE. Testing is also free.
How many times can I take a HiSET test?
You may take each test 3 times a calendar year. We make sure that you are prepared for each test before you take them.

Maine adults seeking to pursue College have a new option to jumpstart their education, with the support from their local Maine College System (MCCS) and the Maine Department of Education (DOE)will offer tuition-free college courses to Maine’s adult education students
Maine adult education programs have supported adult students in their transition to college and career through the Maine College and Career Access program for almost twenty years. This new opportunity expands upon that idea by allowing adult education students to take a college course with the full support of their adult education program mentors so they can develop the habits, skills, and confidence to succeed in college.
Adult education programs will work with adult students to select a course at the community college that is appropriate for their college and career goals, and then support the student as they complete the course. The goal is that they will continue their education once the course is completed.
