PF is listed on the Department of Education site and has a recognized accredited institution. Maybe to a little research before you throw out BS accusations.

@mich229 hey youre quite welcome. Sorry it took awhile to find your comment :)

@cellardoor199991 Hey if you think its iffy, its never a bad idea to check with any future employers that you might have in mind to see if they might think it would look better to learn in a different manner. Penn Foster is definitely an accredited school, but if you check with any employers you have in mind, the fact that you took the time to check in advance, might even speak for itself. Good luck!

I'm thinking of becoming an electronics technician. I have a tech. background from the Navy and a BA in Multimedia. But I REALLY want to be involved w/ electronic maintenance and repair. It looks iffy because it's purely online and I'm not sure if the tool kits are effective. Is it good? I can't be in a quiet lecture room anymore since I just been diagnosed w/ severe IBS. Online is ideal for me. Thanks anybody for info. And congrats to those who earned their certs.

@mich229 Congrats! I'm thinking of becoming an electronics technician. I have a tech. background from the Navy and a BA in Multimedia. But I REALLY want to be involved w/ electronic maintenance and repair. It looks iffy because it's purely online and I'm not sure if the tool kits are effective. Is it good? I figure u would know because you're doing something tech., too. Thanks for any info.

@queenlbell22 -

that is 100% fine with me, but why not say that before purchasing the program. Seems like false advertising to me. I also got the licensing book for studying for my exam-and hardly any of what I learned from PennFoster was in it.

I am just letting folks know about this setup, before they are led to believe you will even be considered for a job.

@gravelandgrain100 With some certificate programs you have to get state certified before you will get hired.
