The NEW YORK STATE EXTERNAL HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA PROGRAM (EDP) is a competency-based alternative high school credentialing program for adults who have acquired skills through life experiences and can demonstrate those skills in applied performance tests. The project aims to provide an assessment and credentialing process as an alternative to traditional diploma programs. Graduates report an increased interest in continued learning, job promotions and raises, and increased self-esteem and self-confidence.
