I don't know the stories behind the schools you mention, however the Stephen Fisher at EFT does carry some infamy connected to a similar scenario. As far as I know though, he does not have any financial involvement in EFT should that be concerning you (although I stand to be corrected if that isn't true).
However, when I was at EFT, I was very aware that a couple of students did have issues with him as their examiner - whether that was justly/unjustly based on him failing them, I do not know. I only heard & saw one side of the story.

I think it is unfortunate that EFT has this connection, because it does blot what is otherwise a good school. As with all things connected to reputations, the worst always stick in peoples minds.
