Penn Foster course completion time - ironheadjack - 11-02-2013
I'm considering taking a few Penn Foster courses and was just curious how long they take to complete on average?

I've taken Finance and Strategic Management with PF. Both classes are completely self paced and can be completed fairly quickly. Finance can be completed as fast as you can understand and test through the material. Finance took me about 13 days but could be completed faster. Finance consists of 5 online, non-procotored exams and 1 non-procotored final. The exams are graded instantly and the final took 2 days to grade.
Strategic Management has a 3 week minimum because you must complete 3 chat sessions with the instructor which are held every Sunday (or at least my instructor held the sessions every Sunday). Strategic management has 4 non-procotored, online exams, 3 instructor chat sessions, 4 class participation web postings and 1 final project that is a case study and SWOT analysis of a business. There is no final exam just the final project. Easily completed in 3 weeks.

Thanks koeingtv.
I signed up for a few PF courses, the syllabuses say they have proctored final exams but on the "My Course" page it just lists 4 exams and doesn't say anything about proctors....?
Am I missing something?

Finance is completely non-procotored despite what the syllabus says. PF customer service also told me on the phone when I registered that the final was procotored but it's not.
Strategic management does not have a final exam, only final project and all exams are non-procotored.
Don't know about other PF classes.

Is there a proctored exam for English Comp 1 or 2 or is it just writing papers?
