Stratford Career Institute False Diploma - NOT Accredited Mont-Royal British Columbia
Took the ECE (Early Childhood Education) Course at home as my youngest daughter was too young for me to leave to go to school full time. Finally finished paying off the fees and finished my school. eagerly awaited so I could apply for a job as a preschool teacher as I had been taking other training as well but need my ece first without my ECE I cant do anything. finally it came I wanted to get into infant/toddler training at a local school they said they would check to see if the school was accredited first. I said that was fine. I did some looking around and found TONS of complaints about this school! mainly from US students. (I'm in canada but they have a location out here too) I contacted my local ECE registry and asked if they knew if that school was accredited. they said they did know of that school and in fact was NOT approved and NOT accredited by ANYONE! their "Diploma" is useless to me - I spent nearly $1000 on their course and did absolutly nothing for me except waste my time and money.
I now have to REDO the course over again at a local school. they refused to give me a refund because I "completed" the course and received my "diploma" what good is a FAKE DIPLOMA ANyway?! I filed a complaint with the BBB - I said I would even gladly give them their fake textbooks (which were only PHOTOCOPIES Put together!) and their fake diploma back. If any of you have been scammed by this school REPORT IT TO THE BBB - I want them to have a bad track record with the BBB and make sure others see that they're a SCAM! They're even listed under a number of ACCREDITED schools! I trusted it as some of the schools listed are in my area and I know some people who went on to careers from those other schools. Would never have thought it was not a real school!
PLEASE REPORT YOU CASE TO THE BBB!

Sorry you had such a bad experience, but did you ask if the school was accredited before you enrolled and if thier credits will transfer to a college? This is very important if you intend on going to a college afterwords. Many schools claim to be nationally accredited but in reality thier credits don't transfer. I believe this school in particular does not claim to be accredited. There are many courses offered that will allow the student to go out and get the job or a promotion and a raise. These students did thier homework and knew what they needed to suceed. All you have to do is ask the right questions before you enroll. Are you accredited? Will I be able to go to college afterwards? What about licencing or certification? These are improtant things to know before you start In other words Research, Research and Research!!

Sorry but you should have found out first if it was recognized credit class. I personally think it is a good thing that an Early Childhood Education degree isn't given out with online classes.
