Online Courses not reputable to employers?



Is it true that 'online school' are generally not seen as reputable to employers?

.
Some online schools are reputable and some are just diploma mills. If they're willing to send you a diploma when you have done little more than pay them a fee, then you should know that it's a scam, and most likely so will your employer.

I must say, as someone who works in the education field and is in charge of hiring, I would look twice at someone who got their degree online. Call it paranoia or living in the past, but it just doesn't seem to be as rigorous as someone who actually went to a place and went through all the pain of attending classes and listening to professors and so forth. I'm not saying I wouldn't accept their online credits. I just would be skeptical until I checked it out myself.

Totally incorrect. For the most, they won't even know that it's an online school unless you tell them. I did online courses with a university in my city! And I've had lots of job offers...
Depends entirely on the courses. If they are related to patient care, there's no way you can get a decent education from an online program. If they are all adminstrative and academic and the school is well known for good curriculum, there shouldn't be a problem.
In healthcare, much of the training for most fields is hands-on, which wouldn't work real well online. You might be able to take some of the courses online, but if everything is, it probably wouldn't be looked on favorably by potential employers.
