Brandy discovered GEDWorks™ through the Career Choice portal at Amazon. Her main motivation was college – she had already applied to pursue a degree in psychiatry, but it turned out that the online school she attended before was not accredited. It was a frustrating experience and Brandy was happy to find a solution through her employer. She needed to get her GED® to continue her dream path of becoming a psychiatrist – and she could do so at no cost through GEDWorks while working at Amazon.
Brandy was relieved that she could achieve her goals without taking time away from work or worrying about educational expenses. She could set her own schedule, so it was manageable with family commitments as a mom. She appreciated that everything was online so she could study at home and stay close to her daughter. The test itself was available online, so she was able to take it after work hours.
Brandy shares her thoughts about the program:
“Everything I needed was at my fingertips and if I needed additional help, my advisor was right there to provide me with resources to gain knowledge and answer questions. Soon enough, I felt comfortable to schedule the test and pass.”
Adding to the happy ending, Brandy was able to continue her application at the college she chose before, and her GED credential was accepted. She even got financial aid approved so she could start her degree right away!
