PC Technician from Penn Foster

Do you reccomend this program ?
I am getting some information for a friend, he is looking to get some kind of certificate or degree as a PC technician without going back to school, with the exception of online education.

What other programs are offered online besides PCDI or PennFoster?

Thanks!

 

I'm sure there are a lot of IT degrees at the AS or BS level offered at various places, but there's nothing wrong with Penn Foster.

I did a brief google for online IT associates degree and found this http://www.elearners.com/online-degrees/associate/information-technology.htm

And if this is the only degree you are going to get and you have some scratch laying about there is my favorite http://www.worldcampus.psu.edu/AssociateInInformationSciencesandTechnology.shtml

 

The career of a computer technician is generally filled with low-paying jobs and highly repetitive bench-style work. If your friend is intent upon working as a technician, then certifications such as A+, Network+, and Linux+ from CompTIA might be the less expensive route. Then after working as a computer technician for a few months a decision whether to pursue an associate degree can be made. Depending on the school, the CompTIA certifications can be used towards to the degree.
