Valid, Reliable, and Relevant
CAEC Item bank
The new Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC) is a national endeavour to provide high school diploma equivalency and ongoing foundational learning in the face of rising costs and decreasing funds. This credential will provide security for employment and first steps in a transformative learning plan.
To achieve this credential, adult learners need to prepare and succeed on five official CAEC exams delivered at licensed testing centres. These assessments are the key to this door. Testing centres and prep providers require parallel assessment practices and resources to help adult learners at their table succeed on these tests and move forward. At the centre of these resource are valid, reliable, and relevant assessment items stored in an item bank that supports collaboration and distribution.
