Hi All,
I'm having a ridiculous time getting in contact with a rep @ Penn Foster to sign up for some courses.

I'm continually calling their 800-233-0259 and get so answer from "Tom" the customer service manager.

Does anyone have a good extension to reach out to to get signed up?

Thanks!

I just called, the VM message states MaryBeth is out of the office until Wednesday. If you can wait until then that is who I have talked to in the past; but I would imagine anyone could get you signed up. Is it that no one is answering?

Unless I am mistaken there are only specific courses that can be signed up for online, and none are the courses I want. From what I've heard previously I need to call to sign up for every other course.

I've been calling the Workforce / Development line and waiting through the options, in the end it says "I'll connect you with a customer service manager" and continually get connected to someone who is not there.

I'm just curious about if others have a contacts extension who they have called in the past. I'm not given the option to connect to an operator (should I just press 0?)

People who work for Penn Foster don't what the heck they are doing some times. So un-organized, I tell you !
