Boise City, ID (1888PressRelease) August 09, 2011 - Stevens-Henager College announced today the statewide launch of its GED Test tutoring program.

The tutoring program is offered at no cost and has been developed to bring enrollees without a diploma a step closer to their dream jobs, by helping them earn the GED credential required to start college.

A GED Academy article shows that 39 million Americans do not have a high school diploma1; the tutoring program's goal is to assist some of that number in obtaining their GED certificate. A GED can be regarded as the critical first step in one's journey to gain the real-world knowledge and skills necessary to start a career in today's marketplace.

Stevens-Henager College GED Test tutoring includes the following benefits:

• Knowledgeable instructors
• Flexible tutoring hours
• Individual attention
• Complimentary study tools
• Motivational support system
• Targeted practice exams
• GED Test registration assistance

As an additional benefit, when students are ready to take their GED Test, Stevens-Henager College will cover the cost of their test fee.

The program was launched in 2009 at the Stevens-Henager Provo/Orem campus in Utah. Due to the popularity of the program, all Stevens-Henager campus and satellite campus locations in Idaho and Utah (Ogden/West Haven-main, Logan-branch, Salt Lake City/Murray-branch, St. George-branch, Layton-satellite of Ogden/West Haven and Lehi-satellite of Provo/Orem) as well as their affiliates in Arizona (CollegeAmerica Flagstaff-main and Phoenix-branch), California (California College San Diego-main, National City-satellite of CCSD), Colorado (CollegeAmerica Denver-main, Colorado Springs-branch, and Fort Collins-branch), and Wyoming (CollegeAmerica Cheyenne-branch) will now offer GED Test tutoring.
