"With four children and a full-time job, it was impossible for me to even consider attending school full time. Once my employer saw my textbooks and learned that the Penn Foster College Veterinary Technician Program was accredited by the AVMA, he offered to help me pay my tuition. I was able to work on my homework, take exams, and write reports when it was convenient for me. As I've acquired new skills through Penn Foster College, I've received positive feedback and pay increases."
"Not only did I receive my Pharmacy Technician Career Diploma in less than a year, but I just received a job offer from Rite Aid Pharmacy for a Pharmacy Cashier position.
