OK, looks legit - I am so paranoid

Its a small service in my town. The owner emailed me back with his phone #, but the kids are all home so I will not be calling until tomorrow. I googled him and found out he is a member of our Chamber of Commerce, no less. So, we'll see what happens. I guess I am just a little paranoid because there are so many scams out there. Better to be wary than to be suckered though.

They are legit, just not good. To take their courses you have to have
8th grade education, which should tell you they aren't that great right there. My teen son took one of their courses (not MT). It was very poorly written, if you flunk a test you can take it again and they will pass you, even if you flunk it again. There were lots of errors in it too.
I would look into a different program to take or try to find a menitoring program. It is difficult for people who have gone to some of the better schools to get jobs. Penn Foster does not have a good reputation so it will be much more difficult for you to get a job. I would try to find something local where you could work in-house for at least 2 years to get some experience.
