I enrolled with Penn Foster in early 2007 for the PC repair diploma course. The learning materials were several years outdated (say 2002 technology) and the tests were open book so they were extremely easy. I ended up paying over $1000 in tuition. Plus two extentions and some late fees later from our wonderful economy. I ended up graduating April a little over a year late. Freshly graduated, I eagerly looked for new work in the exciting field of IT!
The truth is that no business cares if you went to this school! I supposedly have 440 hours of experience From Penn Foster but it might as well be zero! No calls from applications (probably got filed in the trash), no interviews, NOTHING! I can't get a job dusting computers with this diploma! Take my advice, get your A Certification instead and it's cheaper.
