Local context for prep — testing capacity, college access, statewide pricing, and the always-available online option.
Savannah Technical College tests at three campuses — White Bluff Road in Savannah, Rincon in Effingham County, and Hinesville in Liberty County. Whichever is closest, you book it through ged.com.
Georgia charges $46 per subject, in person or online proctored — $184 for all four. The HOPE grant covers up to $210, issued as a voucher before you test, so a qualifying Georgian can clear the whole fee.
Standard registration is 18. A 16- or 17-year-old can test after enrolling in a free state-approved adult education class for at least 40 hours, meeting the readiness score, and getting Office of Adult Education approval.
Same prep, same teachers, wherever you are. What changes is how the program meets the realities of studying in Savannah.
Lessons run 6 to 9 minutes, so practice fits a break, a lunch hour, or the half hour after the kids go down. Port and warehouse shifts here rotate — nothing in your plan expires, and there is no fixed class night to drive Abercorn for.
Savannah graduates move into Savannah Technical College certificates, transfer tracks toward Savannah State University and Georgia Southern's Armstrong campus, and the employers hiring across Chatham County — Gulfstream Aerospace, the Port of Savannah's logistics operators, and St. Joseph's/Candler. Savannah Tech runs free prep with morning, afternoon and evening sessions if you want a classroom.
Four credentialed teachers — one per subject — answer your questions seven days a week. Median reply is under four hours. Most students study 45 minutes a day. No ticket queue, no chatbot.
Fee subsidies and free-testing programs. Confirm eligibility and current funding on the official source before you rely on one.
Up to $210 toward exam fees, lifetime limit
Georgia Lottery-funded grant covering GED exam fees for residents who meet HOPE and TCSG test-readiness standards; subject to annual appropriation.
The GED is run by GED Testing Service — a joint venture of Pearson and the American Council on Education — not a government agency. Fee and prep assistance is administered state by state, so it varies and you should confirm what your state offers — though much of the underlying adult-education funding is federal (WIOA Title II). Eligibility and funding change; always check the official source before relying on one.
Real Savannah students. Real diplomas. Real next chapters.
Cleared the diploma requirement for an aircraft assembly role.
“The posting said high school diploma or equivalent and mine stopped at eleventh grade. The HOPE grant paid for the exams so all it cost me was time. Tested at White Bluff on a Saturday.”
Started a commercial driving program after passing all four subjects.
“The Liberty campus is ten minutes from my house, which is the only reason I did not put this off another year. Two subjects one morning, two more a month later.”
Same program, same teachers, different metro. Pick another city or head back to the Georgia hub for the statewide overview.

Savannah Technical College runs three GED test sites: the Savannah campus at 5717 White Bluff Road, the Effingham campus at 2890 Highway 21 South in Rincon, and the Liberty campus at 100 Technology Drive in Hinesville. Several other Savannah addresses run GED classes rather than the exam, and the Chatham County Jail program is not open to the public. Book every appointment through ged.com and check seat availability there first.
Georgia charges $46 per subject, or $184 for all four — the same price whether you test at Savannah Tech or online from home. The HOPE High School Equivalency Examination Grant covers up to $210 in exam fees for Georgians who meet HOPE requirements and the state's test-readiness standard, which can clear the full battery. It is a voucher, not a refund: you apply through your adult education program, complete the required subject-area pre-testing, and receive a voucher before you sit — the state pays the Technical College System of Georgia directly, so you never front the fee. The $210 is a lifetime limit. A discounted retake at a test center is $20 per subject.
Yes. Georgia allows online proctored testing at any Savannah address, at the same $46 per subject as the test center. You need a passing score on the official GED Ready practice test first, plus a webcam, a stable connection, and a private room where nobody will interrupt you. That practice-test requirement applies only to online testing — walk into Savannah Tech and it does not apply. One trade-off: discounted retakes are not offered on the online exam.
Eight to fourteen weeks of steady study and one morning at whichever Savannah Tech campus is closest — that is the whole path for most students here, and the HOPE grant may cover the fee. Start with the free diagnostic.

Started an industrial systems certificate at Savannah Technical College.
“I work the container yard on rotating shifts, so a class with a fixed night was never going to work. Short lessons on my phone between moves added up. Ten weeks.”
Enrolled in a medical assisting program.
“I took math and science in Spanish and the reading sections in English, which Georgia allows. Nobody at the college asked about it. They just wanted the score report.”
Yes. Georgia lets you take the test in English, Spanish, or a combination across the four subjects — math in Spanish and language arts in English is allowed if that is how you think. Twigera's prep is in English, and we suggest testing each subject in whichever language you read fastest. The Georgia GED Diploma issued is identical regardless of which language you tested in.
Yes. Savannah Technical College, Savannah State University, Georgia Southern University's Armstrong campus, and the Savannah College of Art and Design all treat the Georgia GED Diploma as equivalent to a high school diploma for admission, as does every other public institution in the state. Savannah Tech is the usual first stop — industrial systems, medical assisting, commercial driving, and culinary certificates all open up once you hold the credential.
Yes. Savannah Tech's Adult Education Pathways program on White Bluff Road runs free classes with morning, afternoon and evening sessions, and also teaches at the Crossroads campus on Crossroads Parkway. The Royce Learning Center on Oglethorpe Professional Boulevard, Savannah YouthBuild on Abercorn Street, and Future Minds on Pineland Drive offer preparation too. The classes are free; the exam still costs $184 unless the HOPE grant covers it. Use a classroom for structure and our adaptive practice for the subjects losing you points.
Most Savannah students who study consistently for 45 to 60 minutes a day are test-ready in 8 to 14 weeks. Your day-one diagnostic shows which of the four subjects actually need the hours, and the plan adapts from there. There is no minimum preparation time in Georgia — you sit each subject when you are ready, in any order, and your passing scores are held until the set is complete.
