    DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT USE THEM AT ALL. DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR SCHEMES. THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF. My classes was only supposed to be 499.00 but they changed it after I started to 799.00. They lie about this being a degree. It is not a degree and no they will not help find a job with what your taken. You have to find a credited college to get your degree and pay for the college. They will then fight to make you pay all the money. You can not get out of the payments at all you have to pay full with out even finishing your course. You can not get out of it. They harass you every day all day long. This is a big SCAM and they need to be shut down.

    I had an English course is my second language and they never sent me anything to my house and I ended up paying $500. Be careful what programs they are with they are a lie. And I called and sent emails and they never helped me they just told me that I had to pay more money to activate my course or cancel my course and pay the 500 dollars.

    I signed up to take a course on dog training.
    When I signed up, I accepted the agreement to pay $150/month for 6 months that Stratford would be PROVIDING training and courses so I can get a certificate in the end.
    This was a lie and Stratford does NOT hold up to their end of the agreement.
    They sent me a book which was $110 and then, did NOT give me access to any training, courses, or any information. When I called for information or email in, I would not receive a response or if I called, I was told that the information was in my letter or email, which neither had that information and no one was willing to assist me in making sure they sent the information, had correct info, or anything of such. Received all the emails regarding billing and payments, but nothing for courses.
    I ended up blocking the scam place so they would not be able to take pay due to not holding up to their own agreement.
    They had the audacity to sell my account to collections on my credit.
    So note this, Stratford is a legitimate scam where you promise to someone you will do something for money, and then run off with the money. That is Stratford.

    I enrolled in early childhood course and then withdrew they owed me $8. then I decided to re-enroll. I paid $106.29 for the book which I lost and never received it. I phoned there and the lady told me they sent the book on December 9, then they changed it to december 12th, and finally they said the book was sent on december 14th. If they are not going to send me the book I paid for then just return my $106.29. after that when I phoned back the lady said on recording they are closed until January.She gave me the tracking number and every day it says december 14th.I want my money or the book. also they can't keep taking money out of my bank account until this is straightened out.
