Option 1: Use vouchers to accept cash, checks, and money orders
Your testing center can sell vouchers to students for the students to use as payment.
How it works for your program
Your testing center can purchase vouchers by going to visit the Voucher Store. Your testing center must pay with a credit card or you can request a credit line for the testing center. However, if your testing center requests a credit line, it must be approved before vouchers can be purchased on credit.
Credit line approvals may take five to seven business days. GED Testing Service vouchers are sold and administered through Pearson VUE.
Request a voucher credit line:
- Fill out the Supplier Request form (check the Voucher Credit box)
- Fill out the Voucher Credit form
