20 Best G.E.D Programs In New Orleans, LA (2022 Updated)

I went here for the first time, PLEASE note this place isn't visible from the road. It also has construction work going on around the area, also the road to the school is pretty messed up. As far as the staff they are very friendly and carw about the education of young adults they offer G.E.D services for special needs adults and teens this place is REALLY hands on with their students no matter the age are the learning disabilities they are there to helpEunice Simon

WARNING: If you rely on financial aid to help make ends meet while in school, this is not the place for you! They take forever to process your refund/loans and could care less about the impact it is having on your life. If you go and ask questions about your aid they will have an attitude and drag their feet even longer. I loved this school up until this point. They do not care about their students!Rimige

Beautiful little college. Also, I'm so pleased they have collaborated with Ascension Parish Schools to offer the Early College Option! Highly recommended!Jill Espinosa

The department dealing with transcripts is very unprofessional and rude. I have been trying for four months to get three copies of my transcript. They sent one although I put 3 where it asked how many. I mailed in another request for two more. I never received them. I emailed the admissions department to see what happened. They responded back asking where to send it and I responded. However, I never received them. I then called and was told to do another request. I did another request in September. I just spoke with them only to tell me that they sent only one again on October 3rd. Her reason was because I only had one place listed to send and she didn't see why they would need two copies. So I then had to explain that it was going to the same place. Once received, the department would see to it that all three committee members got a copy. I shouldn't have had to explain that since on the request I asked for two. Furthermore more it's not for her to know why! What's the purpose of putting the number needed on the form if they only send the number they feel should be sent. No where on the transcript request does it ask why you need them. It just ask how many. I now have to send off another request for the third one. By the time I request another one and wait for it in the mail, it will be past the deadline at my job. I will have to wait until next year. This has been four months of nonsense.Khai Shade

I have tried to reach someone by phone in Human Resources for several days. No messages returned. The automatic greeting message tell you to press the # key to speak with an operator. You never speak to an operator which I am sure is by design. It just keeps reporting the options which no one answers! You call any other professional business you are at least able to speak with an operator. This gives a harbinger of the type of administration you will have to deal with if they answer the phone or you show up in person. Had awful experiences in past attempting to get transcripts. If you want excellence do better.sonya sims

I love the friendly atmosphere in this college! Staff are nice and kind, everyone is eager to help. Tarted at the door during the orientation every staff member was smiling and welcoming, I felt the passion of the speakers, they didn't want the new students to go wondering about what they should do. I attending this college to complete some prerequisites for the graduate school, so I am not the regular type of students. But I can tell with confidence this college is an important pillar in the community! and they want to succeed, take the chance and enjoy the experience!Khalid AlOgbi

I guess time will tell what rating Tulane's SoPA deserves, but I can't say I was 100% satisfied. I'm glad I did it. It felt good to use my brain again. My advisors were always helpful. But for the sake of reviewing the whole thing and giving feedback, I have three criticisms that kept it from being five stars. The first one might seem petty, but when I was considering Tulane, I was told that after six credits, the seventh was free. That was the policy my first year. It was discontinued after that one year due to a whole reconfiguration. It went from continuing studies to professional advancement, and that every-seventh-credit-is-free went out the window, just when I was enrolling in my sixth and seventh credit. So that seemed like a bad business deal. After that, I took a couple online classes that I felt were totally worthless. I also had a couple online classes that were great, but the bad ones made me question the worth of my degree. Then, lastly, I wish I wouldn't have felt like such a Tulane also-ran. It felt like JV Tulane sometimes. For instance, I could've chosen an IT degree with an emphasis on business, but the business classes wouldn't have been through Tulane's more prestigious business school, but rather through a night school in Elmwood with nothing in common with the real one. Real Tulane students can use the Reily Center, but not us. Why not? Hope this helps someone. . .Edward Pope

My entire experience with Tulane's School of Professional Advancement (SOPA) was outstanding! This was one of the most challenging and rewarding academic endeavors I have faced to date. It started with my first discussion with the SOPA Professor of Practice and Director Emergency and Security Studies who convinced me that the program was designed for professionals like me who have limited free time and many obligations outside work. The faculty pushed me and solicited my input from my military experience and time in the corporate world. The staff were always very helpful and genuinely cared about my satisfaction. I was also pleased at the level of effort the faculty placed on offering career suggestions and passing on job opportunities to the students. My experience in this program and the bonds formed with the faculty and staff exceeded my expectations. I am forever grateful and wholeheartedly endorse Tulane's SOPA!

I feel very strong and secure in what information I'm receiving at Tulane. They have shown me that even after having a family, I can still continue my education and follow my dreams of becoming an attorney. The support I received from my director and the administrators are outstanding. They really want their students to survive the path of going to college and become very successful in life. I am thankful for Tulane and the many instructors that take the time to teach.Demetra Dixon-Lawrence

A nice school with a clean campus. My reason for three stars has to do with Delta's issues when it comes to disbursing financial aid payments to students. Delta holds grant monies until late in the semester, supposedly to protect themselves from students receiving their grant money then dropping classes. I'm sure there are other ways the college could handle this issue without potentially harming poor students who do not have the means to pay for college basics at the beginning of the semester. As it stands, the college takes it's cut of the financial aid money off the top, and students are left to flounder without aid to buy their books or other supplies. I realize there are other colleges out there that do this, that Delta is not unique in the way it handles its financial aid. However, if I had a choice to do it all again, had I known I would not have financial aid to help me purchase books or help me get started at the beginning of the year when the grant money is most needed, I would have chosen another school. If you are a potential student and you know you will be relying on financial aid, consider this a heads up. Know before you register at Delta that you will not receive any financial aid at the beginning of the semester to pay for your books or starter supplies. Prepare to pay hundreds of dollars out of pocket for those things.Skye Ostara

Don't walk, run far away from this institution of "higher learning." If there is an alternative to taking courses at this college, do so. From my experience, LA Delta Community College has been a constant source of misleading information, as its financial aid, admissions, and registrar offices are often unorganized (to put it very lightly). Likewise, their policies are subject to change as quickly as they make them, but I am sure this is done to keep their "credentials." Like most other students you will probably have the pleasure of speaking to around campus, the financial aid office will become an undoubted issue in one way or another during your attendance. Please make sure that you have readily available cash stashed away or credit cards on-hand, as you may not receive that elusive "refund check" until it is well past taking your first exam. A word of advice for future students, be fully prepared for the headaches you may have to endure before attending this college, and (by all means) make sure that you get everything in writing when speaking to someone within any office, because the burden of proof will always be on you for their mistakes.Renee R

This school is the worst community college I ever been to. The process to get started is like walking through fire. No one knows what the other hand is doing. No one ever answers the phone. The professor are the most unorganized and uncaring people I have ever met, not to mention they make you pay for every big test or exam to take through some proctor u company. They tell you study one thing but then the it's not even on the test. This will my first and last semester at Delta. This college should be investigated and I will be writing the Governor to inform him of this so the community college will be investigated. They need to put shut down. They are crooked!!!Elizabeth Graves

Recent medical assistant graduate of ayers ! The entire staff and instructors are nothing but amazing willing to help any student and i love the hands on training atmosphere is wonderful! I learned so much in 9 mons it goes by so fast but its very rewarding feeling to know you started and didn't give up on yourself ! If your looking to foward your career Ayers is a GREAT start to a endless future.Tanise Williams

I graduated spring 2016, yet I always find myself back in the halls of Chalmette High. I had some really amazing teachers that made high school so much easier and even fun.sidney miller

NLTCC was an amazing experience! You are not just a number! All of the instructors up the chain to the School Dean knew me and all other students names. The cost of my education was so affordable that I left with zero debt! If you so need help financially they offer some amazing programs to help with cost of school and supplies. I was in the nursing program. It is not an easy program, with that being said the instructors do everything they can to help you become “the person” you are proud to be. If you are willing to put in the hard work they will help you and push you to be the best you can be! I received an amazing education and some great hands on experience. I really just cannot say enough good about this school or program! I have my dream job with great pay because of what I received from this school and program! Thank you NLTCC!cheri Watson

I am currently enrolled in the LPN program at the Mansfield campus and it is a great school. The teachers and administrators are greatly involved in every students education and helping in any way they can. I am starting my second year in this program this spring and loving every minute of it!Lacey Talley

Great school with great instructors and staff. Perfect place for anyone looking to get the skills necessary for high wage, high demand jobs in under two years.Stephanie Barnette

I really enjoy attending Herzing University I feel the right choice of choosing this school. My classes are great and so are the Professors. There are lots of resources to get through your classes and the Professors are super helpful.Jennifer Byous

Herzing University helped me to realize my dream of practicing as a family nurse practitioner. With engaging faculty and intellectually stimulating courses, it's no wonder students are successful! Go Herzing!Jessica Manchester

Isabella had a evaluation at Sylvan Learning Center today. While sitting in the waiting area I was able to see the children that finished their classes leaving, as well as those arriving for the next class. What stuck out to me was how these children both coming and going were happy and smiling even though they were doing "school work". The staff was very helpful, extremely polite and smiling too If your child needs that little extra help starting off the new school year or maybe help throughout the year please look into Sylvan and what they can offer your child. Thank you Sherri Jacob Gregson and Ray Gregson and your staff for everything yall do for our children and future leaders.Stella Drewes

Sending my son, Logan, to Sylvan has been one of the best choice's I have ever made. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to help him and as a result he has progressed and been very successful. They are very patient and understanding. They strive to understand the whole child and by doing this they are able to pinpoint different aspects that may be interfering with the child's learning. They take into consideration each child's specific needs and work with both the child and the parents to help the child achieve success. If it wasn't for Sylvan, Logan would not have progressed as quickly as he has. Thank you!Aimee Marechal

Sylvan of harvey is by far the best tutoring experience for my daughter. Their progress reports they go over with you lets you know exactly where your child stands and where they have progressed.. After that they let you know whats up next for your child. They also communicates with your childs teachers. I am very pleased with my daughters progress. I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for looking for help with their children. Yours truly, brian j. ConnersWiggy Conners

The education I have received here is amazing. The teacher/student ratio is small and you have well educated, friendly professors who don't mind explaining things to you. I will be graduating with my AAS degree in Business with a concentration in Healthcare. This is the best start to a new career, and I'm in my forties. If you are younger and need a start before a major university, this is the perfect place.Freda Boiro

Went to nursing school here. They were helpful getting my financial aid. Since I went back to school after 30, I had no idea what I was doing. My instructors were great. They answered my thousands of questions and encouraged me to keep going when I didn't think I could. Love this school and administration. They have a brand new campus too!!! State of the art equipment. You have to meet Stan!!Nicholle Rodriguez

I love it because it is a school that's billing itself and offering people a chance to better themselves and to attain better positions by training them and giving them the most recent knowledge and up to date skill sets. Easy admissions process and very informative and helpful staff. Megan in admissions us a pleasure to speak with and work with.Karl Pearce

Upper Level Education has changed my educational perspective, professional empowerment, and confidence in so many ways. It provided me the opportunity to complete my Business degree. This program outlined courses I needed to graduate in a timely matter. I sincerely appreciate the educational guidance, support, challenges, and time that I spent reviewing my career goals. Also, the innovative recommended strategies used to achieve all my educational goals.Keione Collins

Thank you for supporting the people of New Orleans with their educational goals. We need more leaders like you who can make it possible for families in the community to continue their education. Oh and thank so much for making it possible for my mom in getting her degree.Budget Coach (Ronald-B)

I would like to thank Upper Level Education for helping me continue my education. The environment was clean, and the staff was always available to me whenever I needed assistance. I would definitely recommend their services to others!Ashley B

I'm attending this college and the school does have a warm atmosphere. however the books to the course that I'm taking are online. Randomly the books are inaccessible and ultimately preventing me from my school work. The school is nice but online services are lacking.Kenny Frederick

This is a great college with a warm community. The instructors take time to help and provide any assistance to students. Class size is low allowing students to feel involved.Jonathon H

Would never recommended RemingtonCollege after they get your Grant it seems that they stop helping you I was in a medical assistant program wasted my time going over thereYata Leblanc

I worked here for a while during the summer and being the youngest there i got treated horribly , the manager was disrespectful to me and the whole job was just unorganized. They never had cashiers and i was the only one slaving on the register with no help and got extremely taken advantage of. All the other coworkers did was sit in the warehouse and chat all day . hated this job . i see why they can’t keep employees.destiny harbor

STOP DONATING STUFF TO GOOD WILL , THE PRICE GOUGING IS RIDICULOUS $20 FOR A PULL-UP BAR WEN YOU CAN GET A BRAND NEW ONE FOR LESS !!! NOTHING IN GOOD WILL SHOULD BE OVER $5 TOP'S YOU CAN FIND CHEAPER STUFF AT WALMART IF YOU GUYS REALLY WANT TO HELP THERE IS MULTIPLE HOMELESS SHELTERS AND CHURCHES .OR YOU CAN PASS THINGS OUT UNDER THE BRIDGE OR POST YOUR ITEMS ONLINE FROM CRAIGSLIST TO FACEBOOKbamboo America

This location is really hit or miss and their prices on some things are way too high. I have found some really great stuff in the past though. The pictures I’m posting with this show an example of this with a shirt on their “special price” rack that was only $2 cheaper than its original price at TJ Maxx… I’ve heard the Lakeview location is way better but haven’t been.Luka Starkiller

shelter for abused/trafficked/runaway young adults, a little strict but their rules help to establish savings and a daily routine. a ‘doctor’s office’ provided by a nearby university, hot showers, a bunk bed in a room you typically share with others, food, friends, a donation closet, a program for babies and kids, some intolerable staff, some decent and kind ones as well, a dorm-like program for those who have savings and are compliant, quiet, and mind their own business. from what i heard from a friend after my stay, but did not experience, once you land in said program and are ready to get out, they will help you look for an apartment, furnish it, and pay your rent for a year or so, when you are discharged you allegedly receive the 80% of your checks you’ve been forcibly saving, (which i did) i did not hear of or witness any child exploitation during my stay, i co-signed a duplex lease myself and was in and out in under 5 months. you can play the “system” and get free time outside, use/keep more money that you’ve made (than they’d like you to) they have decent resources for employment and health opportunities and all in all it was better than sleeping behind the mall or hiding from the cops and attempting to sleep on park benches during the winter. a girl that slept in the bunk under me did steal my slides, don’t leave anything you deem valuable “out” take them with you wherever you go, the staff 9 times out of 10 will not care to look into it too far and the cameras do not see what happens in bedrooms. and you frequently get free joes if you’re into that and are in ‘good behavior’elan tran

So some staff is great but some are just the worst. When you first meet them you think oh yes my words are safe to preach but once you voice your own opinion thats a write up. Like wow thanks for not even listening. I got discharged on February 14th, 2019 for something I could of prove but they made the choice not to look further in to the video and there is no ways of me proving my self. I heard 2 complete different reasons as to why I was discharged I have a recording of one but no staffs wants to hear so it's my word against theirs which isn't fair.collene thibodeaux

If u have an income they take 80% and say u can have what they took when u leave but if discharged they refuse even allow u on property to get those funds. Staff treats u like they r better than u. They r demeaning and constantly bragging about how they have homes and threaten to discharge no matter how compliant u r. Worst place ever. been treated better on the streetCory Petersen

Dr Robinson helped my son in 5th-7th grade improve his grade from an F to C in just a few short months in time for the end of the term. He continued that summer and the next school year and has since maintained an A/B average in all subjects! Now my daughter is starting in 3rd grade and her teacher and I have seen an improvement in her understanding in just one month. I’m looking forward to her doing better for her confidence and to get the grades she desires!Candace Robinson

Dr. Robinson fully understands the needs of our students and is adequately reach them on their levels and take them beyond. I'm excited to continue our partnership during this school year as she continues to prepare my son for and maintains his progress during high school. She is also an advocate for the communities she services, which shows she's in all for our kids!!Lenni Markey

Mrs. Jo is amazing, my child loves her. Over the summer my child attended her math program and this helped my child become a lot more confident in herself and the skills. She will continue to tutor with Mrs. Jo for the school year and I am certain that this will further impact her over all confidence and understanding, as well as having a positive impact on her grades.KellyBriar MUA

I love ntcc because it is a good college and the teachers I had were wonderful and caring .when you need help they are there for you.they assist in any way possible. The administration staff Mrs. Nicole and Mrs Gail are wonderful they help in every way possible. The college is a wonderful place of learning and a wonderful place for earning a degree. I love the classes and the time they are scheduled.ceola fleming

It’s been 2 full weeks as of today that a voicemail was left TWICE! Good luck trying to enroll with lack of communication! School is beautiful Mrs Gail is SWEET, but this is a HORRIBLE way to run a campus depending on the future of enrollees.Shelly An

Ok I was hungry with the munchies so I ordered the Shrimp PO Boy (highly favored in the reviews) with 4 sides and a brownie. The stuffed bell pepper was $7 for only one single bell pepper. Ok I’m flavor but definitely wouldn’t pay $7 for only one. The 9th Ward gumbo ($4 for 8oz/ $6 for 12oz/ $8 16oz) only includes sausages as protein to my surprise. I was expecting chicken/andouille maybe some seafood… but not sausages and gravy!!! The jambalaya (prices same as gumbo)… ok at best, I’ve definitely made better jambalaya with Zatarain’s box and some seasonings. Needed more seasoning. Next, the baked Mac & cheese, this should’ve been an easy redemption but it was dry and not cheesy . The Mac noodles were slightly overbooked and mushy. The shrimp Po’boy ($18 after all selections) was the least disappointing but probably because this is my first Po’Boy. About 20-30 shrimp, good size and well seasoned! Finally a little redemption. Overall for $47 I was not pleased with the sides. Could’ve just got the Shrimp Po’Boy and called it a day. The restaurant neglected to send utensils even though I requested them and have 3 sides that require utensils. Delivery: YesIsis Harris

A lot of people raved about this place. I thought it was just okay. They are other better places in the surrounding area. The Cajun rice was mushy. The macaroni and cheese had no flavor. I thought the fish and shrimps were good. The turkey leg was good as well. Very soft. Hospitality could be better. They were not rude but they just don’t give you that welcoming feeling. My wife and I shared the same feeling of not wanting to go out of our way to visit this place. Like I said, it was just okay. We won’t crave to go back next time we are in town. They did have a good flow of customers so that means a lot of people like it. But if you are traveling and you’ve heard how good this place is and you’re tempted to try it out. Then go right ahead. I’m not saying not to go here, I’m just saying that it’s just okay. You can at least try it out and say you’ve tried it.Jonathan Labrador

Melba has a lot to offer. They have affordable crawfish any time of the day. Plate lunches, po boys, sides, dessert, daiquiris and you can do your laundry and stick your kids in the corner of the store. They can either be affordable or next thing you know, you've spent more than 30 bucks on lunch. Their customer service is horrible though. They give you your cup for your drink where you have to go to the next room where you have to wait for the employee behind the counter to eventually notice you to fill it. Ordering online to bypass the line/wait does not work also. The area is also a little sketchy. I only come here when I absolutely crave crawfish at 10pm at night or after a night out and it's here or wafflehouse.P Ieong

this school is disgusting they let this professor that's named mr.wayne walk around like he's God disrespecting everyone and belittling all the students I will never ever attended this school ever again in my life and if you want a good education and respect you should not go here either they are very disrespectful there was another man there and he could not even help he just added on to the situation and make it more than what it was and it was just disgusting and they do not care about their students they are very strict for no reason acting like it's High School and talk to you anyway they wantNITHANNA MYRTHIL

this school is terrible they are very nasty the way they run the school there is a professor named mr. Wayne and he speaks to the students the way he want and talk down on everybody he is very disrespectful and disturbing he lies on the students he kicks them out when he feels like it and he do what he wants and this is very unappropriate unprofessional and the whole staff agrees with him and let him do what he wants to doLady Fresh!!

Save your money! This facility charged me well over $900 a month, i informed them that she would not be attending the month of August in a meeting. In the meeting she said that was perfectly fine. I told the teachers it was her last session and they had actually given her a gift card. The month of August comes, no communication and Meredith does not go to class all week. Due to her being done tutoring. They STILL charged my card. Stating they have in contract that i was supposed to inform them (which i did) and they refused to refund. Save the money and the automatic charges on your card unauthorized and go through a private tutor. Very unorganized facility and they expect you to pay for it as well and it’s never the same teacher.Kay

Sylvan is GREAT!We sent our 9th grader there for Algebra.The teacher who was assigned to our son ,found his problem within the first 45 min.of his session.He has went from low D's to the Honor roll,his self esteem ,confidence has also improved.My wife and I cannot THANK the admin,staff they have been just fantastic.We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND SYLVAN to any child's parent that having problems with their grades.Thank you again.Kenny Anderson

Came here to test for Department of Homeland security canine test. Proctor read instructions which stated as long as keys were under desk I could test with then on me…. before entering test room she instructed me to surrender keys. I explained that unless they I was not surrendering my keys. Needless to say I will not return to this testing facilities.. on top of all that she said make face mask was not sufficient.Tuxedo Mechanic

My son was on the verge of failing algebra. He did not understand it and extra help from the teacher was not helping. We started going to Sylvan of Slidell. Mrs. Barbara is a miracle worker. She worked with my son every week and by the time the report cards came out he had gone from a D to an A! We have continued going and he has continued with his A. My biggest surprise was the fact that he was eager to go every week. It made him feel good to understand the work and to achieve great marks. I can't say enough about the staff. They worked with us every step of the way. They also work together with the teacher at school. I feel anyone would benefit from attending Sylvan of Slidell.Leslie Bissell

Thank you so much to Mr.Adam, Ms Vickie, Ms Barbara, the change in Kylie has been fantastic!! Everyone including the bus driver has seen a difference in her. She has confidence in her new found abilities that she never had before. In one year she went from several grades behind to caught up with her piers. She even joined a book club, before she had no confidence in her reading ablity at all. I can't thank you enough for giving us our Kylie that was always meant to be.Mom Holbrook

Staff is very friendly. Very supportive and positive with the child. After two weeks at Sylvan the teacher at his school said she could see a difference in his reading. He is first grade and was having problems with alphabet and reading since he started school in a foreign country. I put four stars because he has only done reading. We have no math experience. He has now been there four weeks.Larry Crow
