Will I be able to get a job with Penn Foster as my school? I need answers asap! I don’t want to waste my time OR my money. Has anyone actually GOTTEN a job in medical transcription after completing the courses from Penn Foster? HELP!!!

Hi everyone and welcome to my site!
My name is Kate Delaney and I'm from Illinois. I created this site to share my story about how I made a mid-life career change that changed my life.
I went from being a high school graduate with a series of low paying jobs, and even some time on unemployment, to becoming a professional with a stable and well-paying career.
I found the training, financial aid, and even job placement help all online. Now, I don't have a job; I have a career! I'm a Medical Transcriptionist and I love it! Read my story.
Check out the company that made my dreams come true.

I completed my pharmacy technician career diploma with penn foster a month ago. They are legit and very well accredited. They are accredited by American Association of Medical Assistants. Here is the site so you can check it out: ttp://pennfoster.edu/accreditation.html There are online schools that are not exactly accredited in the right areas but penn foster is not one of them. Believe me!!! You are not wasting your time or money with them. I will be getting my certificate and license in a few weeks.
Unfortunately some schools have a terrible reputation with employers. Some won’t even test graduates of certain schools just because of the reputation they carry.
If I were you, I’d look for a reputable school that actually helps with job placement. MT Advantage is one of the best online schools out there and the training is advanced. I know because I’ve been through the program and was VERY happy with my decision.
Look up penn foster on www.ripoffreport.com then you’ll get the idea.
