Stratford career institute is not an accredited, legit legal institution it's nothing more than fraud with individuals that are crooked and trying to make money off of naive students such as myself the school is a complete joke this is why the phony school has so many negative reviews

Absolutely terrible place and they should not be allowed to even exist. They charged me a collection bill that I have already paid off and now my credit is down 60+ points for something I have already payed off. And it was over a year ago I did that. They sent it in July I guess. Opened an account in my name and everything. If there is a lawyer that would like to help me I will pay you what I can to help me in this case.

Over 3 months after enrolling into small engine repair i still have not received any of my books for schooling. Basically a scam at this point.

I have taken SEVERAL Stratford courses over the years, and have been especially pleased with all but one. A couple were so intense (I already have a Bachelor's Degree) that I couldn't keep up with the material, and had to withdraw and take a refund. As with anything else, I would say : YOUR EXPERIENCE IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT !!!!! No place does Stratford SAY that they give you the end-all-and-be-all of YOUR educational journey, IN FACT in many places in their advertisements they CLEARLY SAY that the student MAY need to further QUALIFY in their chosen profession, either through further study OUTSIDE STRATFORD, on a STATE LEVEL with certification exams and further TRAINING or BOTH. (MEANING = that your STRATFORD EXPERIENCE may be a tool to simply get your foot in the door career wise, to "beef-up" your resume' , or something similar. I think some of these really bad reviews are from very young people who expected Stratford to give them the sun, the moon, and the stars so to speak, OR that they come from Stratford students who REALLY did NOT do very well in their choses programs. (Which, I think that the material, from everything I've seen, is quite CHALLENGING . And I already have a Bachelor's degree from a college I matriculated to out of high school, doing a traditional college on-campus experience. )

I received my High School Diploma in 2009. Just found out today July 16 2025 that it is not real. I even have emails where they tell me it's a real accredited diploma. Don't waste your time.

This company advertises that they are a USA company, but when I called about the Tools they promised upon my graduation, they said they were in Canada and the tools were backorder and there were border issues with shipping to and from Canada. BULL SH*T. They just straight up lied. This company should not be allowed to do business in USA. Read the rest of these reviews. They are a bunch of Cheaters and Liars. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH Stratford Career Institute. Don't waste your money. I paid in full on the first day. They got my money, but I didn't get what they promised. They don't return calls. They only tell lies.
