Penn foster has changed its name over the last few years from Harcourt Learning, Thompson direct and the latest Penn Foster. I was stupid enough to actually think I could learn a carreer with these scam artists. I took the TV VCR repair thinking that VCR's are basically extinct that the course would be more Tv repair oriented. I could not have been more wrong.
They promise to teach you how to use tools such as Ocssiloscopes, function generators, probes, analizers, and send you on your way to a new carreer. They teach nothing about plasma. Or lcds Tv's of now or the future or basically anything helpful in todays TV tech world.
There courses are just simple booklets you read and take an a connect the dot exam that basically exists of a true or false answers. There is no supervision, no circuit testing, and no descriptive teaching on any major tools or equipment needed for todays TV repair. And now that I am almost finished with the course I can't get any money back nor can I get out of my contract.
Do Not Take any course Penn Foster has to Offer if it pertains to this type of course you will be sorry...
