The Better Business Bureau is investigating online diploma mills, those websites that offer quick and easy "high school diplomas" if you take an online test (for a fee, of course). So, how easy is it? Oreo C. Collins, a black and white cat from Macon, Georgia, owned by Kevin Collins, CEO of Georgia's Better Business Bureau, earned a "high school diploma" from a diploma website. Though Oreo had a little help answering the online quiz, the diploma mill apparently had no qualms about issuing a "high school diploma" to a feline--for a fee, of course.
Oreo's story highlights a growing problem on the Internet. Dozens of websites offer a "high school diploma," and sometimes even say they're offering a GED for taking an online test. The GED is not offered online, because unlike the test that Oreo took, the GED requires the test-taker to prove their identity and show their skills in a set of 5 comprehensive subject exams.
Employers, colleges, and government agencies don't accept "diplomas" bought through online sites where the only requirement is an online test or life experience. Why? Because a cat can go online and buy that kind of diploma. At the GED Academy, an online study program that prepares you for the real GED, we hear a lot of stories from people who spent hundreds of dollars on a "high school diploma" from an online site, only to find out it was worthless.
John, from Lynbrook, New York, wanted to become a cop. He bought a "diploma" from a website, not realizing that they were only selling him a piece of paper. He found out that colleges and employers wouldn't take it. Kimberly, the mother of two boys, was working at a school. She bought a "diploma" online for her job, only to find out that it was no good. She lost her job because she didn't have an accepted high school equivalency diploma.
The actual GED exam is taken at an official test center. When you pass, the high school equivalency diploma is issued by your state department of education. The GED is accepted by almost all U.S. employers and colleges, including the U.S. military and police forces around the country. The American Council on Education (ACE), the organization that develops the GED exam, warns against fraudulent online "diplomas," which cost unsuspecting people between $200 and $1,200, but are worth nothing.
