...The website states that the VT office is a mailing address. I assume this means it is a "transition" center where products are shipped and received. If this is the case, then the quality of service isn't a "complaint" for the VT Secretary of State office...

How would you compare Penn Foster vs Stratford Career Institute?
I don’t know Penn Foster very well , but Stratford has some of the rudest people I’ve ever had to deal with.
Product or Service Quality
The school is sub standard the lessons are very elementary.
Well the few I was able to access before being locked out of my classes.
I have something else to compare
I honestly just want them to remove my account from collections .
I have completed courses with both schools,i have a high respect for both schools,great tutoring,good response time to difficult questions.f.a.w.
I agree with this person. I finished classes with both schools and like both. I love the fact that you can go at own pace and payments are small and affordable.
