METROPOLITAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS LIMITED - INFORMATION & DOCUMENTS By Rob Ager (First published 2013, some updates included in 2019)
This page includes links to webpages and downloadable documents with regards particular instances of unethical and/or illegal conduct by Metropolitan International Schools Limited (aka Skillstrain, Train2game, Train4TradeSkills) whom I shall also refer to in this publication as "MIS". I have made this information available in the public interest and in response to the campaign of disinformation that MIS has conducted against me. My original article and video regarding MIS can still be viewed here. Regarding the information posted below I wrote in 2013 (in the interest of responsible journalism) to Metropolitan International Schools Limited, requesting that they submit their views and any informational corrections on these matters. They responded by simply denying all these allegations, but no substantial corrections to my information and documents was provided.
Individuals who have had their course fees refunded and / or their credit agreement cancelled. Robert Ager (Author of this page you are now reading). Refunded for a Skillstrain course during complaint to Liverpool Trading Standards 2009 - case number 165963. Download Trading Standards report. Refund confirmation letter from MIS.

Evidence of a disinformation / smear campaign waged against citizen journalist / former customer Rob Ager Metropolitan International Schools Ltd. have written letters containing defamatory statements intended to persuade its customers that I am a racist, am being sued by several Hollywood companies, have been banned by Youtube 3 times and have been intentionally inciting people to bring claims against MIS on false grounds (all of which are untrue) - Letter to G Davies, Letter to I Watson, Letter to C Campbell. Note that in one of these letters MIS makes the statements itself, but in the other two letters it attributes the statements to a supposed marketing company called Multimedia Computer Training Ltd (MCT). However, in a High Court claim against this author (a claim that was dropped) MIS described MCT as a "subsidiary" of MIS. The two companies are also linked in that Jan Telensky is, or has been, a director of both. This author proposes that the defamatory statements in the aforementioned three letters were most likely made by the same individual(s) regardless of which company name they were attributing the statements to. Here is a falsified publication submitted to Croydon County Court (case 0UA11947) and Wakefield County Court (case 2WF00619) by Metropolitan International Schools Ltd. containing untrue statements about me, including an attempt to persuade the court that I left my Father to die and am a sexual deviant and a paedophile. The editor of The Son (a Christian magazine whom the mocked up document is designed to appear to be published by) has stated in this email that The Son did not publish the aforementioned document. I believe that individuals acting on behalf of Metropolitan International Schools Ltd. mocked up the clearly malicious document.
Relationship with MULTIMEDIA COMPUTER TRAINING LTD MIS has attempted to shift blame and responsibility, both for its false endorsements and its defamatory statements against me, to a company called Multimedia Computer Training Limited (who I shall refer to as MCT). MIS describes MCT as a “marketing company”. This shifting of blame is implausible for the following reasons.
In addition to the above points, there is also evidence that company officers of MCT and Skillstrain (a trading name of MIS) are very closely connected.
