I had bad experience with this school, regret studying with them I stool have taken my time to do my research though back then a few colleges were offering online education. Imagine having a license revolked because the college you studied with is reluctant to provided a certified copy of transcript and diploma. The agents act like robots, very slow the attend and repetitive in their procedures, a robots is better, I have P260BW that around US$20 trying to give an agent information and respond to my request. For vain nothing fruitful and got cut. My business was closed because I don't have a valid permit now I have to scramble for money to make calls , I will have to pay fines that have accumulated for the whole year since suspension. Office lease is still counting the rentals. Surely I have to sue this company for the damages. Even after the call the will not attend to the matter. Next time I call again same thing will repeat again and the keep quite. After this review leanerconcerns will respond with an apologetic message to blind those who might fall in the same trap once they choose to register with them.
When you ate applying they will make countless calls until you are convinced to register thinking they are caring and responsible. Once you commit your money you are on your own. Once you complete that your business. These people are arrogant, my next move is to request it through legal route with cost.
On my last review learnersconcerns attached this number 888-427-1500. This number directs to a robot then online review then it cuts. Am writting this review soon after the call. Most of the time you are left hanging and the person on the other side is not interactive they just go mute with in̈forming or keeping conversation live and active. You would wonder if they are robots or real people helping.
I have a year of making calls just for certified copies.

My experience with Penn Foster has been a good one during the time I have been enrolled with them. The course material has been understandable and thorough. I especially appreciate the text messages sent to me once or twice a week to encourage me to continue my path.

Honestly- the instructions were missing a section and I should have been able to simply email someone and get a solution but my ticket was closed before I had a chance to respond and I had to end up scheduling a call with my teacher- which I hated to have to bother her and take up her time. There is no longer a student forum in the portal to ask questions amoung peers so getting support is not easy. This may cause students to just guess when they have a question. I'd love to see an interactive communication forum/board in the student portal- the teachers use this type of system now for announcements/assignments- can this be made to allow students to post assignment questions? Thank you so much!

The course plan is though out well in an order that is memorable to the student, wherein the student can take notes. You will learn something that you have not learn before. Penn Foster is really a great college to attend and receive a degree from. My goal is to finish within the timeframe.
