Thomson Education Direct Changes Name to Penn Foster Career School
Scranton, PA – Thomson Education Direct and Thomson High School will be renamed Penn Foster Career School and Penn Foster High School.
(I-Newswire) - The new brands reflect the company’s 115 year presence in the State of Pennsylvania and pays tribute to the company’s founder Thomas J. Foster, the American pioneer in distance education.
In addition, Education Direct’s Canadian distance learning institution will revert to its original name, ICS Canada.
The decision to change names was based on Education Direct’s proprietary research. According to Thomas O’Keefe, the company’s vice president for business development, “The Education Direct name was not well recognized in the consumer marketplace. The absence of an institutional descriptive such as school or institute made it difficult for us to effectively promote ourselves as a regionally and nationally accredited provider of distance education programs.”
The new institution under the Penn Foster name will retain its regional accreditation ( Middle States Commission ) for its vocational and high school programs and national accreditation ( DETC ) for its degree programs. In addition, Penn Foster has been reviewed and approved as an authorized provider of continuing education and training programs by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training ( IACET ).
Penn Foster Career School will remain a member of the Pennsylvania Association of Two-Year Colleges.
ICS Canada will retain its accreditation with the Canadian Education and Training Accreditation Commission ( CETAC ) as well as a member of the National Association of Career Colleges ( NACC ).
The company’s corporate name, Thomson Education Direct, will remain unchanged. Penn Foster and ICS represent the company’s consumer brands.
