Online Medical Classes

How marketable is a degree from Penn Foster college?

I'd like to take online classes, specifically to be a medical office assistant. That's where you are trained to do office procedures like billing & coding, scheduling, etc., but also can assist the doctor and take patient histories. Penn Foster has a program for this. But how does PF look on a resume? Am I better off taking classes through another institution?

1. I'm in Penn Foster for my Bachelor's in Crim Justice, and it better look good. That;s all I have to say
2. Not sure about the medical office assistant dipolma or degree (if there is one)...But as far as Billing and coding goes...don't get burned...I highly doubt that school is accredated by AHIMA. If not, you will not be able to be registered or certified as a coder...bascially meaning it will be hard for you to get a well paying job in the field....Good Luck and google somethings before you sign anything!!!
