HSED or High School Equivalency Diploma[1] or HEP[2] is comparable to achieving a high school diploma instead of simply proving the skills by taking the GED.
In some places, such as Wisconsin, the HSED is equivalent to a high school diploma because the Department of Public Instruction awards the credential.
It is different from the GED, which only certifies the individual has the equivalent of a traditional high school education.
A number of diploma mills[6] claim to offer such a service, but they are unofficial and invalid.
