The prices and payment plans for this school are very reasonable. Especially with the economical climate as it is. The curriculum is easy to follow, only downfall is I wish they would send the next shipment in a more timely manner. Sometimes I had to take a break just to wait for the next shipment.

But overall I completed what was supposed to be a 9 month course in 4 months. I loved the fact that you could work at your own pace and the online library was available as were instructors if needed. Overall a pretty good experience and much more cost efficient then going to a physical campus would have been. I only wish I had read the faqs beforehand to realize that even though I am done with my course I will not get my diploma until my account it paid in full. To me that is reasonable, it was my oversight.

I went for Pharmacy Technician and i LOVED the program. It was challanging especially since it was a field i knew absolutely nothing about but ut was very easy to learn, especially with the help of student services.

I have only 10 lessons left in the medical office assistant program and I love it. They are helpful, anytime I have an issue they are quick to respond. I have recommended Penn Foster to others and will continue to do so.

I started med/billing coding classes back in 2009..after health issues and family issues i am almost done...i would highly recomend PENN FOSTER TO ANYONE....the classes, exams, and everything else they offer is great....payments are afforable and you dont have to pass a credit report to take classes...anyone that has had credit trouble deserves a second chance and Penn Foster gave it to me.... after I get done with this class I will be taking another class thru them....dont let negative reviews not let u trust this school....

You do not receive your diploma until your account is paid in full. They won't even send you a letter of completion. So you if you choose the payment plan..beware that you will not receive anything from the school until you account is paid in full, So I have another 18 months of payments before I even see my diploma and I've already completed the whole course..
