      Most employers don’t view online schools very highly. Perhaps your local community college has an online course (perhaps non-credit course) which may have more of a chance of being accredited in the industry. I would look into the county vo-tech school as well (though usually in class course). Schools such as penn foster and stratford career have complaints posted about them at with penn foster having been several different names and many complaints to the bbb.
