PFC equivalent to English 102

[frankiebleyes]

Can anyone advise me of the correct ACE course number with PFC for English 102, my son is in need of this course for his WGU IT curriculum and their methods are a little unorthodox to say the least. He would be better off in a regular course curriculum. Anyone with this knowledge would be much appreciated for sharing. I called PFC but they had several different english courses for their different programs and could not advise which would be the equivalent for Ace English 102. Keep telling him to clep but he won't. Thanks again for any advise.

I do not think that Penn Foster Has a Ace Approved Eng Comp II out, but they do have Eng Comp I , you may want to consider SL though it may be cheaper and quicker in the long run.
