Official GED test sites listed by GED Testing Service for the El Paso metro. Verify hours and seat availability on ged.com before you go.
Center listings refreshed quarterly. The official source is GED Testing Service.
Local context for prep — testing capacity, college access, statewide pricing, and the always-available online option.
Verified GED sites in El Paso — EPCC on Viscount, Region 19 Sunrise on Boeing Drive, and the Fort Bliss Education Center for those with base access.
Same as the rest of Texas — $36.25 per subject in person. Online proctored testing is $42.25 per subject, or $169 for all four.
The GED is offered in English and Spanish across all four subjects, and Texas lets you combine languages — take math in one and language arts in the other. The certificate issued is identical.
The Texas HSE Subsidy Program can cover GED testing fees up to $169 per person for adults 21 and older, including retakes, while funding lasts. Apply through a local Texas Workforce Commission Adult Education and Literacy provider.
Same prep, same teachers, wherever you are. What changes is how the program meets the realities of studying in El Paso.
Lessons run 6 to 9 minutes. Watch one on a Sun Metro ride, finish a quiz on a lunch break, study half an hour after the kids go down. Nothing is scheduled, so I-10 backups and Loop 375 traffic never cost you a class.
El Paso graduates move into EPCC nursing and allied-health programs, transfer tracks toward the University of Texas at El Paso, Fort Bliss enlistment, and the manufacturing and logistics employers hiring along I-10 and US-54. Both EPCC and UTEP accept the state certificate exactly as they accept a high school diploma.
284 short video lessons and 1,500+ adaptive practice items across all four subjects, plus credentialed teachers — one per subject — answering questions seven days a week. Our prep is taught in English; you still choose the language you sit the official test in.
Fee subsidies and free-testing programs. Confirm eligibility and current funding on the official source before you rely on one.
Full GED test fees
Texas pays GED test fees for eligible residents age 21 and older while funding lasts; apply through a local TWC Adult Education and Literacy program.
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 El Paso students. Real diplomas. Real next chapters.
Cleared the education requirement for Army enlistment at Fort Bliss.
“The recruiter told me to come back with a diploma or an equivalent. I studied on the bus to work for two months and tested at Region 19 on a Saturday morning.”
Moved into a logistics coordinator role along the I-10 corridor.
“I was 34 and the subsidy covered my test fees, which is the only reason I could start when I did. Four subjects, one at a time, done inside three months.”
Started an allied-health program at El Paso Community College.
“I took math in Spanish because that is the language I count in, and language arts in English. Nobody blinked. EPCC took the certificate and I started prerequisites in the fall.”
Enrolled at the University of Texas at El Paso.
“I thought a GED would close doors at UTEP. It did not. The diagnostic showed science was my weak spot, so I spent most of my study time there and passed everything on the first try.”
Same program, same teachers, different metro. Pick another city or head back to the Texas hub for the statewide overview.

Three verified sites. El Paso Community College Testing Services sits at 9050 Viscount Boulevard in the Administrative Services Center, Room B156. Education Service Center Region 19 runs the Sunrise Testing Center at 6611 Boeing Drive, open Monday through Friday and Saturday mornings. The Fort Bliss Army Education Center on Carrington Road tests by appointment, and civilians must confirm base access first. Book every appointment through ged.com, not the center directly.
In-person testing costs $36.25 per subject, or $145 for the full four-subject battery — the same price across Texas. Online proctored testing costs $42.25 per subject, or $169 for all four. In-person retakes drop to $16.25 per subject; online retakes stay at full price. Texas applies no waiting period before your first two in-person retakes, then 60 days after a third attempt.
Yes. All four GED subjects are offered in English and Spanish, both at testing centers and online, and Texas lets you combine languages across subjects — math in Spanish and language arts in English is a valid combination. You choose the language for each subject at registration. The State of Texas Certificate of High School Equivalency you earn is identical either way. Twigera's own lessons are taught in English.
Yes. Texas offers online proctored testing 24/7 from any El Paso address. You need a passing score on the official GED Ready practice test first, plus a webcam-equipped computer, reliable internet, and a private room where nobody will walk in. That GED Ready requirement applies only to online testing — it does not apply if you sit the test at EPCC or Region 19.
If you are 21 or older, the Texas HSE Subsidy Program can cover your GED testing fees up to $169 per person, including retakes, for as long as funding lasts each year. It is administered through Texas Workforce Commission Adult Education and Literacy providers, so you apply through a local AEL office rather than through ged.com. Funding is finite and runs on the state fiscal year, so ask early.
Standard registration is 18. A 17-year-old can test with parent or guardian permission, photo ID, Texas residency, and formal withdrawal from school. A 16-year-old needs those plus one of three qualifying statuses: placement in the care of a state agency, a court order, or enrollment in a Job Corps training program. Both under-18 routes are filed through the Texas Education Agency, which verifies you are not currently enrolled — allow two to three business days.
Yes. El Paso Community College and the University of Texas at El Paso both accept the State of Texas Certificate of High School Equivalency as equivalent to a high school diploma for admission, as does every public institution in Texas. EPCC is the usual first stop — nursing, allied health, and workforce certificates all open up once you hold the certificate.
Yes. EPCC's adult education division and Education Service Center Region 19 both run free or low-cost GED preparation, funded through Texas Adult Education and Literacy. Those cover the classes, not the exam fee, though the 21-and-over subsidy can cover the exam separately. Free local classes and Twigera work well together — use the classroom for structure and our adaptive practice to target the subjects costing you points.
Four subjects, taken one at a time, in whichever language you think in. Most El Paso students are test-ready in 8 to 14 weeks. Start with the free diagnostic and we will show you which subjects actually need the work.
