Appalled!!!
It is obvious that this school is nothing but a bunch of *** A person has been accused of cheating just because they have rapidly going through the program. And, there is only one review that I can see of for the public to view!
Obviously, they don't want you to see the bad reviews, and how many of them there are! Their average star rating of three says it all!
User's recommendation: Don't attend this school!
Double payment taken out
Preferred solution: Full refund

No reason
Can't log in
Don't do it turn away as fast as you can.
My girlfriend tried to cancel her classes, they wouldn't do it. They said she can only have ebooks and not any text books, they refused to give her both.
They also said she can't start any classes, but has to pay 100% of her tuition " huge reason she left" they refuse to still give her any textbooks, and refuse to return any of her money.
They say that they cant give her any of her money back and that she has to keep paying them yet they don't have to keep their word. I now see why FASFA will not pay these guys any money for anyone that qualifies.

Vet tech program
I started the vet tech program in April of 2016. Here it is October of 2019 and I made it all the way to my final externship.
I cannot complete my final externship because the skills are way too in-depth. They require too much of you. Most veterinary clinics nowadays do not do GI series or necropsies things like that. Only emergency hospitals so the clinic that I am at cannot help me finish my skills.
I think Penn Foster sets students up for failure. They said in 2019 over 200 students graduated. If this is all over the nation 200 is sad and pathetic. Is that 200 even with the vet tech program only or all programs?
I think I deserve all of my money back. I got straight A's and B's I wasted all my time money and energy and extreme amounts of stress you get to where I am at and I cannot even finish. They are way too strict. They only allow you one Clinic once you choose it which this is my second Clinic because the first Clinic I was at was a very bad Clinic.
I cannot change clinics now you only get to change once if absolutely necessary. The clinic I am at now is a good clinic but they still can't help me even though they try. And I'm most of the skills instead of only having to do it one time they want you to do it three or five times.
It's hard enough to get one video or one thing done! And to have a time limit on top of it!

Dear Student: We are following up on your concerns regarding the pace of study in your program. While our programs are self-paced, we do have a limit of 15 exams per week to be sure that our students are gaining the most from their education and not moving too quickly through their lessons. If you have additional concerns please do not hesitate to reach out to us at student.reviews@pennfoster.edu We wish you all the best with your studies!
Then its not really learn at your own pace is it? Some people are fast learners and are getting everything they need out of the course.
Who are you to assume they are not. You ought to know better!
