    Everything you want to learn is on YouTube.
    From MIT university classes to practical mechanics, how to repair your car.
    I used YouTube videos to perform many basic mechanics on my car.

    For example mechanic charges 300 USD for diagnosis and replacement of airflow sensor.
    I purchased a specially recommended spray to clean airflow sensors and cleaned one that was giving error on my car.
    Its been more then a year and I spent 9 $ to fix the problem
    The solution to the issue I had was on YouTube.

    Most textbooks aren't well kept secrets of the schools that use them. Ideally, people from Stratford were available to answer questions you had about the material, and to provide a system through which you could demonstrate to others that you had learned the material. If so, that's definitely an added value to just reading the book.

    Re

    Hello Steve, yes I agree but when the criteria in a class doesn't add or contribute to the book itself I believe the class is unnecessary

I received some student handouts etc along with a book. As I found out, they basically just take books that are publicly available on amazon etc and revolve their syllabus around it. Why would I pay $750 for a paper diploma from a non accredited school, and some tests revolving around the book?? When I could just purchase the book and study on my own for $50-150? That's it on Stratford god bless... It may benefit some out there but I'd rather save the money. It's not like these books are secret or "Stratford criteria/property"
