FAQs

At C4L Academy, we want to break down the barriers so you can earn your diploma as quickly as possible!  Based on an initial placement assessment, we will be able to tell you which courses you need to take. Your performance on this assessment will indicate your knowledge base as well as the areas in which you will require further study.  In the course areas in which your knowledge base is adequate, you will receive credit for that course. In other areas, you will learn the required information online, allowing you to proceed at your own pace.

Sure!  On average, students who work 1-2 hours daily can finish their diploma requirements in about a month.

Now that you are an adult, you don’t have to follow the same process as you did when you were in high school.  We’ve created an online program to teach you what you need to know so that you can earn your diploma!

The program is individualized.  You will be administered an initial placement evaluation which will indicate what information and course material should be included in your program.  You will be given the appropriate course materials for you to study and prepare for the final assessment for that course.  This entire process will be online.  Once you have studied for a course you may take the assessment for that particular unit.  The results are available immediately after you have completed the assessment.    If you pass, you’ve earned the credits and you go onto the next unit.

If you do not pass the unit assessment with 70% or higher, then you can try again.  You will be given additional time to review and study the course materials again, and this time you will be guided to the specific parts of the course materials that relate only to the questions you missed.  You will only be assessed again on the questions you have missed in the initial assessment.

For many reasons!! First, your diploma will allow you to continue with your vocational school  or college program, which will prepare you for a career.  Second, you will be able to say on job applications and in job interviews that you have met the requirements for a diploma.  Finally, you will have the satisfaction of having a diploma, a reward for your hard work and perseverance—a sign that, regardless of the past, you are on the road to self-improvement and success! 

Our program at C4L Academy is much like a high school equivalency program.  Upon completion and passing the required assessments, students are issued a high school diploma.  Our program, however, is not a GED.  The GED is an offline, state governed program whereas, C4L Academy is a private institution.  As a private institution, C4L Academy cannot guarantee acceptance to any educational organizations (i.e. university, college, trade school, etc.) or by any employer.  It is up to the individual to verify the requirements of any potential educational organization, employers and/or institutions prior to registering with C4L Academy.

As a private institution, C4L Academy cannot guarantee acceptance to any educational organizations (i.e. university, college, trade school, etc.) or by any employer.  It is up to the individual to verify the requirements of any potential educational organization, employers and/or institutions prior to registering with C4L Academy.

Students must be at least 18 years of age or older in order to enroll.  However, students between the ages of 16-17 can enroll with parent/guardian consent to enroll in C4L Academy’s program.

Once registered, C4L Academy students must demonstrate proficiency in the required course material by passing each course’s comprehensive assessment with a score of 70% or higher.

Students may retake the assessments several times without penalty or additional fees.  Course materials provided are geared to cover the necessary material covered in each assessment.  We also provide video links covering each subject matter in order to accommodate students who are more auditory learners.  Our staff is also available to answer questions and help you to traverse this path to your success!

Upon completion of C4L Academy’s program, a verification email will be sent to the graduate immediately.  The Graduation Package, consisting of an official diploma and two official transcripts, typically arrives in 5-7 business days.  A request to expedite shipping is also made available to graduates at an additional fee.

A diploma from C4L Academy can be used for career advancement purposes as well as to facilitate admission to those institutions that accept C4L Academy’s diploma.  It is up to the individual to ensure that C4L Academy’s diploma meets the standards set forth by the potential institution.
