Every year the school system disrupts the education of thousands of learners. It fails to equip them with the skills they need to get a good job or to continue their education and training.
We’re changing this.
We’re saving people from obsolete education by offering a course based on 21st century research. It is aligned with college- and career-readiness standards for this millennium.
We’re helping people open new doors of opportunity through affordable, quality education.

Who are we? About Go Prep™
Go Prep™ is a family-run enterprise.
Shirley Erwee is a global homeschooling expert, who has been home educating her own six children (plus two others for a season) for over 20 years, since 1997.
In 2016, after years of recommending the GED® as a solution for homeschoolers and others needing to get a grade 12 equivalent, she launched Go Prep™ (previously known as Online GED Prep) in South Africa to help candidates wishing to prepare for the GED® tests.
Shirley is also a home education activist and consultant, as well as a curriculum provider offering various other learning materials for South African homeschoolers, including the Footprints On Our Land programmes.
In 2014 and 2015 she authored two books on homeschooling in South Africa, namely Homeschooling the Primary Years and Homeschooling High School and she offers two series of webinars for parents starting home education: Starting Homeschooling and Homeschooling High School.
Shirley is a well-known expert in the local homeschooling community and a speaker at local and international home education events. She has also been interviewed by the media on numerous occasions on radio and TV programmes, such as Afternoon Express, SAFm, Ofm, Whalecoast FM as well as 567 CapeTalk and consulted by journalists of various South African magazines for their articles about home education.
As home education experts, we’ve served or been consulted by these organisations and media publishers on matters relating to home education in South Africa and globally. We support freedom in education.
In May 2018, accompanied by her husband Riaan, Shirley attended the 2018 Global Home Education Conference (GHEC), held in Russia in St. Petersburg and Moscow and she was a speaker at the 2020 GHEC.
In 2020, Shirley was nominated as the spokesperson for the Liberty in Learning Coalition in South Africa – a group of home education leaders, provincial representatives, curriculum providers and activists seeking to engage with the Department of Basic Education to protect and promote freedom in education for home educators and learning centres in South Africa.
