    Stratford career institute

    Is this an accredited institute?

    Someone I know is about to send their tuition and I don't know
    if this is accredited and legit school.

    Thanks

    Not listed in CHEA database. Also, under it "memberships and affiliations", does not list any recognized accreditor.
    It is listed however, with the Better Business Bureau (BBB)!

    As far as I can tell, they are not accredited. Being a member of the BBB doesn't mean anything as far as legitimacy of an educational program is concerned.

    There are much better options out there.

    They also claim Canadian location/ Connection.
    Is it possible that they have some level of accreditation there?

    Thanks for your replies.

    Hi,

    The Stratford Career Institute is well-known in Canada for career diploma programs. I believe it has been around for thirty or so years. I don't believe they're a diploma mill.

    I hope this helps!

    Thanks,

    They are licensed and listed in DC under Licensed Non-Degree Institutions.
