Yukon CAEC Test – Canadian GED Has Become CAEC
The Canadian GED test was replaced by the CAEC (Canadian Adult Education Credential) on May 3, 2024. Read more here. Yukon, British Columbia, Quebec, and Nunavut, however, have not introduced the CAEC exam.
The cost for the Yukon five-test Canadian GED exam was $150.00, or $30.00 per individual subject test, and we assume that if Yukon decides to implement the new CAEC exam, the price will remain the same as for the GED test.

In Yukon, you had to be 18 years old if you wanted to write the GED test, but 17-year-old testers could also qualify if they met some additional strict requirements and provided additional documentation. Please see your regional test center for details.
But, again, Yukon is not participating in the new Canadian Adult Education Credential or CAEC.
CAEC Information
The five CAEC modules (independent, separate sub-exams), like the GED exam, cover the academic fields of Language Arts Writing, Language Arts Reading, Science, Mathematics, and Social Studies.

Yukon Residency
In Yukon, like in all Canadian provinces and territories, residency was required to take the GED test, and taking the CAEC exam in a different jurisdiction is not possible.
In Yukon, you didn’t need to prepare for the GED exam with an adult education program. There was also no requirement to first attain sufficient scores on the official practice test before you were allowed to write the GED exam.
We assume similar terms apply should Yukon decide to join the CAEC group of jurisdictions.
The Yukon GED exam was offered both on paper and on a computer, but whereas other provinces allow combinations of both options, that was not the case in Yukon.
Online CAEC Preparation
Online learning comes with so many benefits. There’s a lot of flexibility as you can choose when and where you will study. You can learn in a library, at home, in a library, or in all public places that offer Wi-Fi Internet access. We recommend Cansego online CAEC classes.
CAEC exams are for persons who have never completed their high school curriculum. They offer them the opportunity to prove that they possess skills and knowledge at a level comparable to that of graduating high schoolers.
Across North America, the Canadian Adult Education Credential is recognized and accepted in the same way as a regular high school or GED diploma by practically all employers, institutions of higher learning, and government agencies.
Often, holding a high school diploma, GED, or CAEC diploma is a prerequisite for trades and technical programs and for employment. All Canadian provinces and territories recognize that if students have passed the CAEC exam, they have demonstrated that they have mastered skills and knowledge at a level equivalent to those of high school graduates.
Please note that Yukon does NOT offer the CAEC exam and that GED and CAEC testing is not available at Yukon University’s Testing Centre in Whitehorse.
