They tell you that you can work at your own pace then charge you a extension fee if you take to much time all the while limiting how fast you can finish programs so that they have enough time to hit you with the extension fee I paid in full just to receive a fee to extend my program where I'm suplos...
I did my High School with them. I didnt have any problem, i would recomend them to anyone who intrested in finding a good online ligitimate school weather for college or high school.
Dont do it. They will steal your money. You wont learn anything from their useless courses. They ll put you in collections and ruin your credit. They also say they are va aproved but they are not. Va will pay them for your classes but you still gotta pay them. Shady scammers.
Let me just start off by saying if you're considering Penn Foster please do not just read these negative reviews and be turned off Penn Foster. I was a military spouse who wanted a career working with animals and was able to attend a local college at the same time as Penn Foster so I have a degree I...
I honestly had no problems with this school. They were always nice when I called. Well, I was going to switch to a community college, so I needed them to send my transcripts to the other school. They said that would be no problem, I would have to pay nothing for them sending the transcripts . They n...
I absolutely LOVE Penn Foster College! I'm so happy that I chose them to help me achieve my goals! It's very convenient for me because I work full time and second shift and I can do my school work at night when I get home and also enrollment is SUPER easy and can be done all online! 10/10 highly rec...
I absolutely love my business management bachelor's degree program you will learn so much be prepared to study its not easy. I called the student number to get help and was only on hold for maybe a minute. The consultant was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions as well as offered study t...
SCAM !This school is full of it! Applied went through with everything but never did any of the work, And now I m being charged 1200 and it s on my credit score.
They honestly don't even deserve a 1 star. The only thing this school has going for it is the people who answer the phones. I've never called the school and had an issue with not getting answers. I do however, have a major problem with the people involved with the veterinary technician program. Ever...
Extreme frauds. Sent my account to collections for the full amount of the course even though I was on the pay for what you do program. I cancelled it when I got sick and now they have no record of it and don t allow students to cancel over the phone though I had already spoken with 2 other represe...
I would give 5 stars however I'm giving this school 1 star because I played the waiting game too long for evaluation of my transcripts. I only got credit for 4 classes. Then when I ask for my money back they tell me I'm not eligible for a refund.
I would never recommend this school ! I actually sent as per their policy an email to cancel my enrollment. I signed the enrollment agreement on Monday, and never finish the enrollment because I will not take their assessment test, and sent the email for cancel and refund on Friday which is less th...
Horrible! If I could give no stars I would!
Paid in full my entire course. Was told they needed my transcripts. Transcripts were mailed. They told me yesterday they received them and course would be released to me to take! Called today to see why it hadnt been set for me to take now they claim they...
I have been a student for 3 years now started in Career School, now with the College. I can not say enough about the school. They price is right, compare your college to this! How much in student loans will you have to pay when you graduate? NONE HERE!!!! Check it out trust me, you will love every...
I didn t OK them to charge my card and they signed me up without my consent ! Now I owe them 1,000 ?! I didn t get books I didn t get a diploma !! Now there saying I have to pay so much to close the account !! Like I NEVER finished the processes of signing up !! I ve never got mail saying anything...
Great for self motivated and those whose need assistance. I have two kids and work full time, I got my high school diploma from Penn Foster and now I am getting certified as a medical coder.
I had tranfered my high school credits to pennfoster high school program and finished in 2009. Ever since then I have been able to use my diploma to colleges I applyed for and attended, also at every job I have worked as well. I am happy with how I was treated and my material came on time. I did get...
My child was having problems in high school. We are doing the online program, taking individual high school courses. I have not had a single complaint. The classes are not too hard, not too easy. I paid my dues and I dont expect something for nothing. All the negative reviews are from people who cle...
Very good online service. The classes are eassy and simple
If you want to cancel they won t give you a refund. I only viewed videos of how the task bar works. Had nothing to do with Electrician courses. Now I owe more and they still got my monthly payment. Don't come here all they want is the money!!!!!!! I should have actually followed the REVIEWS HERE, P...
Terrible experience! I read a lot of reviews on how Penn Foster only wants your money, but I was so excited to start a new career in design, that I went for it anyways. Penn Foster claims that they have coaches that will help you along the way. When I had to call to ask for help, they were rude. Whe...
Please offer Computer Information Systems certification.
I would definitely not recommend this school. A few years ago I had signed up for a course that was supposed to be monthly payments. I started the course and was finished with what was provided in 3 days then they requested another month payment to get more and continue. I was not happy about that a...
Horrible, all they want is MONEY ! I tried to get official transcripts sent to me by mail and they refused because I did not get through it, but only because even if your done your not gonna receive your actual diploma until to pay them off even if you have finished the classes. So if you don t pa...
I give Penn Foster 2 stars for lack of good customer service when class material is not working due to technical difficulties the student help services lack motivation to get problem fixed and really had no urgency in getting the file to open in order to finish the class to graduate. It's almost as ...
I received my High school diploma with no issues at all.
I am very happy with Penn Foster. Instructors are very helpful and knowledgeable as well. Very affordable and I never have any type of problem with them. I will definitely recommend Penn Foster to anyone. I LOVE THIS ONLINE COLLEGE.
Got my high school from them this school really helped me in life and also with my self esteem thank you penn foster
They don t even deserve 1 Star! My son was enrolled for high school, got 85% completed only to be reset back down to 60% for unknown reasons. He decided to go ahead and continue , got up to 92% and reset back down to 60% this time stating fraudulent activity on his account. Same ip, same computer fo...
Penn Foster is a wonderful school. I am currently enrolled in the Graphic Design Associates programs and the curriculum is awesome. A great education at an affordable price. Whenever you have a problem or hit a roadblock in a lesson, you can contact the school and receive assistance promptly. I high...
Where as their college classes are good and the timing is excellent for peopletting that do online school because they have to support themselves with a full time job. I wouldn't recommend this school if you plan on furthering your degree or transferring, because a lot of schools do not accept or wi...
If I could give them 0 stars, I would......
Parents and students be aware of this scam.
My daughter signed up for the veterinary program. Once she opened the program online, she did not like it. It is not for everybody
Cancelling the program after just one month is not an option.
Stop paying...
I paid for a full course in medical billing. After a year of calling the person that signed me up, took my money, leaving several messages with no call back about my books. I finally gave up. I never recieved my books so. I finally talked to some one the other day and they were willing to send me my...
I would never recommend this school for anyone! Waste of money since your teachers don t help you ever and when you call the help center, all they do is put you on hold and never get someone to actually help. And the one time I did get someone finally to help me, they were BEYOND rude. DON T FALL ...
I don't like to put bad review s but seems like Penn Foster isn't willing to communicate or be honest with me because I sign up through the mail for awhile it was doing but all of a sudden it wouldn't let me do any my classes ND I even set up Auto pay for every month will today they take the rest o...
My experience with Penn Foster is great so far, no negative complaints here and they are conveniently located in Scottsdale, AZ.
Penn Foster is my first online school and Im happy I picked it.If I can go to Penn Foster for all my educational needs I will.They are very helpful, they work with you to make sure you have everything you need.They treat you like family and you always have someone somewhere to help. Its better than ...
My girlfriend signed up for a program through this school and when she realized she needed to take a different program they refused to refund or transfer the credit to the new program. They were extremely rude on the phone and one gentleman said that they had not received her emails immediately be...
Penn Foster is a rip off. I owed $88 when I stop attending because of financial problems & now I owe $1446.54 to a collection agency. Go figure that out.
Their remote proctor program is quite poor. Was suggested to do paper proctors, but replied that I didn't have anyone that could serve as a watcher if I did. And what was their answer? Nothing helpful, ended the conversation there. I've also sent emails of issues I've been experiencing, and they've ...
I m trying to cancel my auto-payments and withdraw from my program because I can t afford the schooling and they re giving me such a hard time. I have only been enrolled for 2 months. It s sad that they re only worried about getting money. For a school to advertise how affordable they are, they re...
I received my high school diploma from Penn Foster High School 5 years ago. Now I'm currently attending Penn Foster College for Early Childhood Education while being a full-time mom & wife.
My Daughter attends this school, She was having a little difficultly with a assignment and the lady that spoke to her insulted her Intelligence and attacked her character! You guys are getting paid by your students and should not speak down to anyone. How dare you crush the spirit of someone moving...
I see many bad reviews for this school, some talking about my current program (vet tech). I do not agree with any of these thoughts. This school is wonderful, i have yet to have a bad expirenece that wasnt self-inflicted. From even before enrollment to now, i have been thought of, motivated, and e...
If I could give them zero stars I would. After paying $1,300 a semester I was told I had to purchase additional materials to complete the course. If I didn t complete that specific assignment I would fail the entire course. I should not have to purchase ADDITIONAL materials to complete the assignmen...
So far my experience with Penn Foster is great. Iam attending in their medical field diploma; whenever I have question on regards of topic related to my field and tuition fee they answer it concisely accurate. They are serious on getting your academic goals INDEPENDENTLY. Meaning its self-pace, self...
for right now I will give 4 stars. I just started so I haven't experienced much. I am enrolled in the Veterinary Assistant program, I do wish there was videos showing someone doing the stuff for more of learning experience and better understanding of the content. for example the handling and restra...
I would never recommend this school the community colleges seem to been right scam scam scam
I went through their high school diploma program in 2014. I was skeptical at first but as soon as I received it I was hired to work for the state of Texas and other big companies that won t hire anyone without a diploma. Moral of the story towards all the bad reviews, just pay. That s all it takes
So far my experience has been very positive. The student dashboard is user friendly and easy to use. My courses are outlined and I always know which classes are coming up next. I enrolled in the Graphic Design program and will complete by June 2021. I think Penn Foster College is a great place t...
This is a scam school beware. Just randomly charged my account over $300.00 out of nowhere????? Yeah, no thanks, even after paying for school that was never done and cancelled at the beginning, we still were responsible for the not attended classes, okay got it. We paid off the unused classes for ov...
I was so excited to start with this school until They took the hole amount of money out of my account and now I am so stressed out that I can't even pay my bills I signed agreement for them to do a monthly plan because I needed to support my six children and now I am fighting with my bank and them ...
I love Penn Foster! It's so easy to navigate and financially, its a BIG help!
I have no complaints it s a really good school they do answer phones and if you don t pay you don t get your diploma until you pay and that s understood I had stop paying and I was send to collections but hey they gave me a chance to pay and I did I receive my diploma and now I am working on my coll...

DO NOT go through penn foster for any diplomas or degrees.
Most jobs and the military do not recognize this school.
If you decide to stop schooling because no one recognizes the degree and stop paying or you re 6 days passed your intitial enrollment, you will still owe the entire balance for rec...
Excellent service, I have been with other online universities and this far is the best and most organized. They have been in operation since 1890 - so imagine that?! :-) They are both regionally and nationally accredited by the US Department of Education and CHEA Council of Higher Education Accredi...
This is a really
Good school , the staff
Works with you in order to see your excellence but you MUST put in the work if your want to succeed in this shcool as in any other school.
I have done both their high school diploma and their bachelors in business management degree program.
You have to be an independent learner that is really passionate about what you are signing up to learn in order to keep up with any online schooling program like this.
It is such a relief to be pa...
I love Penn Foster College. Online school is not for everyone. You have to be determined and open-minded with self-determination in order to succed. Penn Fosters mode of learning is toug, but an excellent resource to learn. Now that we have the COVID-19 around us those that like these resources mode...
i was about to enroll in vet assistance, but after looking at the reviews, i decided its not gonna be worth pursuing.
This review doesn't reflect the coursework itself, as I only purchased a Penn Foster course for a client.
That said, the process of requesting a refund and the associated receipts was absolutely painful, involved 5 phone calls (and 5 trips through the Student Care phone tree and long wait times) an...
I love this school I have had nothing but an amazing experience. Im close to graduation as well as having everything paid off. I recieve my books in time for the next course. Everthing goes at your own pace, which works better for me considering I have a full time job and two children. I do my work ...
When I enlisted in active duty military service and tried to cancel my account under the SCRA (Servicemembers Civil Relief Act) I was told that even though I had not, and would not be able to complete the course due to military service and become certified that I was still responsible for the balanc...
So far my experience with Penn Foster has been wonderful. I graduated from their high school and I am now attending Penn Foster college. Like any school, you will have your good and bad. I will say that for me, this school has been great. Penn Foster is giving me the opportunity to earn my degree. B...
I am a single working mother and the easy accessibility to classes, homework,and exams at any time is fantastic. The tuition is affordable and what's best is they work with you and allow you to make monthly payments that you can afford!
Stay away from Penn Foster College. This For-Profit School agreed to give me a program for $25 per month; they didn't honor the agreement and suddenly increased the monthly payment, because of this my credit card got declined and they wrongfully sent me to collection. Penn Foster College is violatin...
I recieved my diploma through them and now I'm about to graduate college in IT and it has been one of the best decisions I've made. They offered support and now my fiancee is going and they call every month to check in.
Complete scam artists. I requested to withdraw my attendance from their school within the allowable date. They never did and then sent my account to collections. I would highly advise anyone considering this "educational" institution to look elsewhere.
The customer service is terrible. I told them I was going to be late on a payment because of unforseen circumstances they said it was fine and proceeded to overdraft my bank account. Then when I canceled under the impression I wouldn't owe anything I was hit with a $280 bill. Every time I call to se...
Penn Foster College is a wonderful institution. I earned my Associate's degree in 2012 major was Criminal Justice. The Lessons were challenging and good. The lessons helped me to learn my job in an analytical way. I then earned my Bachelor's degree from North Carolina Central University. If I didnt...
This school changed my life since I could not have gotten a degree any other way. With the affordability and good customer service this is the best school for me. It's come a long way and I cannot wait to see the school have more bachelor programs. Without my bachelor degree I would not have a bett...
I completed my AS. ECCE in 2011. The curriculum was challenging but relevant to the field. I enjoyed receiving my texts and study material and whenever I had any issues someone was always there to assist.
Pretty irritated already with them and I just enrolled. The lady repeated my info back to me and STILL typed it in wrong and now I have to wait to enroll. I'll be updating this after a couple of months with experience in the program to see how I like it.
After dropping out of High School, they helped me get my Diploma within 6 months and were actually on top of all my work. Highly recommend them as a High School Alternative.
Penn Foster is an amazing school the staff were always super friendly and always helped me answering my questions. I graduate ii nitrate 2017 i earn my small business certificate and now I work at a assistant manager at Charming charlie . Now to the people complaining ,Don't blame the school becaus...
Took 1 class, 1 credit. Charged 55$ (15$ + 20$) for transcript send to application service.. They couldn't get it right over 3 weeks. This cost me admission to grad school. Grossly incompetent. STAY AWAY
Tried to get out the program in the first semester due to financial issues and they still wanted me to pay over $1000.
Don't waste your money here. When you finish the program and your whole balance is not paid they wont give you the voucher to take the state test or even the practice exam. I asked if this was anywhere in writing and they transferred 3 times and they said yes in my enrollment agreement so copied the...
I have recently enrolled in the Vet Tech Associate Degree program and so far am having a great experience. Easy to get in touch with people and easy to navigate the student portal and get my studies done.
Penn Foster College is a great Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC), American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES) accredited College,the reviews I read on here are frightening.I decided to try Penn Foster for myself , I transfe...
I was not happy with my end experience. I did the work and I paid it off and was told it would take 7-10 business days but it s been over a month and I still haven t got my diploma. I called over 5x and I kept being told to wait until this day and if it s not there then call back. I called and calle...
So I enrolled in this at your own pace program and someone else decided I was done and suddenly I have two reports on my credit and only 1 in collections. Then they want me to pay off the program they cancelled and start over with another payment. All of this after I couldnt even get access to my pr...
Worst experience of any college. Not only was there little to no guidance during the classes, but if you were to miss a payment, instead of trying to make something work for both parties, they send you to collections.
Penn Foster College is a God send to any serious student who truly wants a high quality education. If someone has a bad experience with this school, they only need to stare in the mirror to truly understand who is at fault. Its simple..... You research the school and truly understand what SELF PACED...
I graduated from the Vet Tech program almost 4 years ago and it took me only 2 years to get through the program. Life-changing career and college choice! Individuals need to understand that an online college will always be more rigorous than brick and mortar because you do not have someone else bein...
I see a lot of bad reviews concerning Penn Foster. Most of them are about refunds, late books, and rude staff. I m not sure why some of you are having problems. I've called several times and always received very courteous service. When I call them, I m pleasant so maybe that is why they re pleasant ...
Must be self sufficient to do this program. I'm doing great, and when i have a question customer service helps. If you're not truly capable of being independent and having a teacher for every little thing then don't do it.
THIS SCHOOL IS A SCAM THEY SOMEHOW GOT MY SOCIAL AND HAS SENT IT TO COLLECTIONS WHEN I NEVER WENT OR APPLIED TO THIS SCHOOL. IVE HAD TO DISPUTE THEM TWICE.
