My son is a current Penn Foster student whio is finishing his Associates Degree in Criminal Justice. He also graduated from Penn Foster High School. My daughter was also a student of Penn Foster as a High School graduate and a business diploma as well as an art dilpoma, and interior decorating diploma. Both of my children have been highly respected for thier choice of careers and their training at Penn Foster. My daughter went on a job interview to be a manager of a luxury apartment complex and because of her training from Penn Foster the leader of the training stood my daughter up in front of the whole group and announced that she would be placing my daughter in one of the top luxuary apartment complexes they had. Penn Foster trained my daughter to stand out from the crowd.
My son has three more exams left in the Criminal Associates Degree program. I feel confident that he can go anywhere be it Military, Police Academy, Security Officer ect and excel at his job. Why? Because the training he has gotten from Penn Foster. The courses are not all easy and some have been down right challenging even to the mettle but this is good for lifeskills that he has developed along the way. Fortitude, a do it yourself mentality, accepting and meeting challenges and not giving up, these are what it takes in today's world of work. I feel that he has learned more than what the course taught him.
As far as being able to talk to instructors we have had many conversations with many instructors and have had all our questions answered. We have had to have some things explained and have had no problems with the instructors themselves.
The exams were not all easy either but you get 2 times to take them and they always pick the higher grade. Trust me when I say you get out of this course what you put into it. I am very happy that both my children were able to take courses and degress at Penn Foster. While the courses themselves were very challenging both my children ended up with a top rated eduacation and graduated debt free. Both my children can go anywhere with their high school diploma and degress and get hired by great companies.

This school is the most convenient option for full-time workers and parents as well as persons who are unable to leave the house regularly. It's an easy solution to the over-whelming work load and expenses that educational institutes often dump on hard-working students. Students seeking secondary education are often in it for their careers, not for what they actually learn.

I would not take classes from here for a Degree, because in order to get a real degree you attend community college or a state 4 year college. I do like the certificate programs because I can get additional training on things I need and want such as computers. I took the Secreterial course and was very pleased with it and right now I am taking the PC Fundamentals and after completing that I am taking the Microsoft MOUS Certificate. I view this school as a TRAINING SCHOOL only, not a place to advance in the degree field.
