horrible for the military i enrolled into penn foster hoping to finish my degree in 2 years but that did not happen...im active duty and deployed on the border and rarely have access to a computer...since i have an iphone i thought i could sign on to the discussion boards using it with no problem..while half way into the year i noticed i was not getting graded on my participation and called...they advised me that using my phone, their system did not recognize it and i asked if there was any way to waive the grade since i had made comments but was told to spoke to the professor. the professor was uncaring to my solution and i had to start over...i was already on an extension due to this same problem because the person i enrolled with over the phone failed to explain the discussion board requirements and i tried to prevent the problem again by logging on my phone, they should not allow access on the phone if there system doesn't recognize it...horrible school do not go here!

5 diplomas and I'm Happy I have followed this school through years of changes. It was International Correspondence Schools when I finished my High school education through them. They became Thompson Learning direct, harcort, learning direct, now Penn Foster. They could improve their customer service, they need to update some of their course material, but overall I was happy. I did try the pay as you go and they moved much slower than I did, I paid for the whole course and had them just send my all the textbooks. I have five different diplomas throught them. I don't work directly in any of the fields of study but have used the knowledge I gained from all of the courses.

Beware of charges As i started into this course it soon became obvious that this propgram was outdated,with no support whatsoever from actual class nor educational staff, it took 3 weeks to actually get a student id code to be able to log in ! So, i decided to cancell....Wow, that's when the real nightmare began. I only signed up for ONE semester for $760, but few months later after informing them of my cancellation they hunt me with collection agencies for triple the amount totaling whooping $2,280 !!!!! Question is for what ? They even illegaly put 3 negative rating on my credit ! Should 't it be one per loan ? VERY HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE.

excellent veterinary assistant program this is an incredible veterinary assistant program through Penn Foster Career School, and am almost finished with it. I use many techniques learned through this school at a kennel (where I volunteer) , and have helped the animals greatly. They send DVDs on nursing care, restraint of small & large animals, radiology & surgical assisting, etc. THE materials sent are worth it & study 28 paperback / study guides. They cover most what a veterinary assistant does at an animal clinic or on the farm helping the veterinarian. I also assist the vet-tech through my knowledge learned!
