    I am trying to keep my options open:

    I posted here before about Amberton:

    http://forums.degreeinfo.com/showthread.php?t=27106

    And this is till the degree i want to go after, but now after reading some other threads about an M.ed in training or corporate training

    http://forums.degreeinfo.com/showthread.php?t=27725

    Can not really decide.

    Also I am being relocated for my job to Africa, i am looking at other options:

    I remember that there was a thread about an MBA being linked with the univeristy of Luton ( or another Uni in the UK, I can not remember exaclty) and only costing about 2500 dollars per year. i can not find the thread.

    I already contact Unisa but have had no response so far.

    So I found an alternative in my home country:

    http://www.ddbs.nl/

    They offer a second bachelors degree program for a very reasonalbe price, 2000 dollars us, without books.

    I can not paste the pages due to the setup of their site so please visit the site to get the relevant information.

    They are accredited by the Dutch governement, i checked.
    I also talked to a former fellow student who did her degree there.

    They also offer a MBA degree in conjunction with

    http://www.micanada.org/missions.htm

    The MBA is at a cost of around 10000 dollars a good deal but I am looking for some more information about this group

    Here is where thay say something about their accreditation:

    Degree delivering at MIC

    Students at MIC receive degrees in MBA and BBA from the IAU Campus in Los Angles. Only this Campus is delivering degrees at MIC. IAU is the American International University (www.iau.la).
    IAU is licensed and legally authorized by the State Department of California, USA, to deliver Degrees at the Graduate and Post Graduate level. IAU is affiliated with MIC.

    The MIC office located in the province of Quebec does not deliver degrees.

    IAU is approved by the Bureau for Private, Postsecondary and Vocational Education for the State of California (BPPVE). The Bureau approves schools to operate and to offer educational programs under the Department of Consumer Affairs. The approval process is designed to ensure that institutions meet certain academic standards and deliver the quality of education promised in their promotional materials.


    And then the webpage with the accreditation:

    http://www.micanada.org/accreditation2.html

    They are a member of International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE)

    To recap:

    As a bridge i want to do the bachelors degree, since it is from a dutch school, accredited by the dutch gorvernment and would tide me over until i get going on the masrters degree in either training, M.ed or the MBA.

    Amberton is my favourite since it is pure training and developemnt orientated,

    The MBA from the school in Africa is also great money wise, and of course if they are in cinjunction with the UK university that would be the icing on the cake.

    The MBA from the micanada is great prize wise but i have my doubts about thier accreditation, the dutch government official could not help me out with this one.

    So please comment on my plans and the accreditation issue, since i know that this last one is very VIP for me, since i want to move to canada after this job.
