Frequently Asked
Questions
Q. When
do classes start?
A. Enroll now and start immediately!
Because you're in a "class of one," there's
no need to wait for the next semester
- class is in session whenever you're
ready to learn.
Q. How
long will it take to complete my
training?
A. It's up to you. With Penn
Foster Career School, you set your
own pace...complete your training as
quickly or as slowly as you like. Many
of our programs can be completed in
less than a year if you study just
an hour a day. The maximum time you
have to complete a Career Diploma Program
is two years.*
* Maximum completion
time for the Court Reporter, Telecommunications
Technician, and High School Programs
is three years.
Q. Do I
need any previous experience?
A. Most Penn Foster programs
are designed so even beginners with
no experience can get off to a fast
start toward an exciting new career.
As long as you can read and write,
and have average intelligence, you
should be able to complete your training
without any difficulty. However, some
programs, require that you have a High
School Diploma or GED to enroll. This
prerequisite is noted in the individual
program descriptions where applicable.
If you don't have your High School
Diploma, and are interested in getting
it, click on High School Diploma for
details on the Penn Foster High School.
It's recommended that you be familiar
with personal computers before enrolling
in the Programming in Visual C#®,
Java® Programmer, or Web Page Designer
Programs.
Q. I have
been out of school for a long time.
Will I have trouble?
A. You shouldn't. Penn Foster
Career School training is unlike attending
classes at other schools. You proceed
at your own, individual pace, learning
at the most comfortable speed. Lessons
are easy to understand, and contain
plenty of pictures and diagrams to
illustrate important points.
Q.
Do I need to buy any extra books
or supplies?
A. You don't need anything
extra to get started - just a pen and
paper and the willingness to learn.
All programs comprise the learning
materials you need to complete your
training and are included in the one
low tuition price you pay. However,
in the programs that include computer
training, you will need to have access
to computer (see individual program
descriptions for system requirements).
