External Diploma Program Overview
5 TASKS:
Candidates demonstrate mastery of 65 EDP competencies (see see EDP Competencies) in 8 general Life Skill Themes. This is done through 5 Task books (each taken home for a week containing a variety of tasks that reflect real life situations) and an interview.
INDIVIDUALIZED COMPETENCY:
In this step, candidates are given credit for the life and work skills that they have acquired. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, for example by demonstrating an employable skill.
