National External Diploma Program (NEDP)
New the summer of 2012, residents of Farmington, Avon, Canton and Burlington are eligible to enroll in FREE classes with West Hartford Board of Education for their National External Diploma Program (NEDP). This individualized program allows adults who have learned through life experiences to demonstrate their acquired skills and earn a high school diploma. Participants in the NEDP work independently to complete a series of tasks and meet weekly with an advisor or assessor to demonstrate progress. The typical NEDP student is a person who has been successfully employed or who has run a household and who can work independently. The program takes from four months to two years to complete. Students may enroll at any time of the year.
