Assuming you have not gotten a high school diploma yet, a GED is an equivalent credential for you. But first, what is a GED? What’s the full meaning? The GED is an important credential which can be a substitute.

For a high school diploma, it’s a very good idea to get a GED exam and a GED tutor (ติว GED which is the term in Thai) if you didn’t finish up high school or if you didn’t attend high school at all, because most employees accept the GED. Getting a GED gives you more opportunities in life.
