The same-thing happened to me! I am now looking into doing something myself...maybe, if we can get enough of us together we can get "SOMETHING" done! I will contact you! They are a bunch of rip-offs, rapist. I called many of times and have gotten nowhere. "I am reporting them to BBB today!

Why why...We all thought it was a "REAL" diploma. They lead you to believe it.

It's not that the diploma is "fake or not". The diploma is a real document that came from what appears to be a legitimate educational source. The point of the matter is the degree of credibility or recognition of the document (diploma in this particular situation) towards it being considered a qualifying subsitute for an actual high school diploma. In this case again the diploma was not accepted as representing and education foundation that meets the receiving parties criteria and as such and in this particular case, they refused its credibility and labeled it a "fake".

Such a diploma is really only a tool to use for mature students to show prospective continued educational sources that you have obtained a base level of curiculum exposure and the SCI brochure should have stated this. I know that the selling agents will say almost anything to sell the product so it is very important that the purchaser be very prudent when examining the documentation and to obtain some opinions from prospective employers or schools in this matter to see how they react before enrolling.

My freind is disabled, homebound. Wanted to find a career where he could be useful to society and earn living. Worked his butt off on the tests for a year, paid the $680. and will not be able to use the GED anywhere? HOW can this be legal? He kept telling me how he would continue through college but now he's stuck; it took a lot for him to come up with the money, he gets $700. per month on SSI. I told him to contact free legal advice. Hopefully he can get his money back.

So many grammatical errors, no wonder none of you can get a High School Diploma. You probably wouldn't even be able to read what it says.

I thought by taking these classes I would be able to start a career in wedding planning, but I never got to.No one will accept this from them.Stratford did put it on my credit though.They can put a 108.00 dollars on my credit to ruin me, but they don't give credit where credit is due.Thanks to them now I can't trust no school for learning anymore.

I signed up today for the basics in Computer Programming. I understand 100% that this is not a degree or any kind of anything but a certificate that states that I have been shown a few things about computer programing. I found the documentation to be fair and truthful. I have not be promised a degree or a career after I have completed this course. Just the understanding that when My brother in law teaches me the things that bring in the 6 figures a year, Ill understand it.
