Perdia Education (Approved Colleges, LLC) was founded by industry veteran Tony Huffman who has over 20 years’ experience in the online education industry. After transitioning from an accounting profession in the late 90s, Tony began work in the Ed-Tech space at Audible.com. He worked closely with Microsoft transitioning their CD-Rom based worldwide sales update / training “Drivetime” to Audible’s online and secure digital distribution system.
He later spent 10 years as an SVP in the online post-secondary education industry culminating with creation of the Test Drive College. This program allowed students to gauge their readiness to enter an online program by taking a free, credit-bearing online course transferable to partner institutions. Tony created Perdia Education to provide better solutions for students and universities alike. Perdia Education is a small, dedicated team of 20 based in Monterey, Virginia; roughly 3 hours southwest of Washington DC.
Tony earned a BBA – Accounting from James Madison University.
Digital transformation of recruitment and admissions is the key to reaching prospective online students in their environment.
