Some of the recent ENEB offers (Italian university partnership offer for 1st level or 2nd level university Master qualification, or the UNISEB degree upgrade offer for a non-ENEB transcript forwarded directly by Universidad Isabel I) may benefit some of their graduates in the following sense: American or Canadian ENEB graduates might eventually find a way to get their “upgraded degree” approved by one of the respected credential evaluators in North America. There is room for some limited optimism, but we seriously need to wait for the actual evaluation results. This may still turn out to be inadequate as a way to obtain foreign Master’s degree equivalency, which is what many of their graduates are hoping to achieve. I don't expect the Italian qualification to be accepted as an official Master's degree in the European Union, as it is not considered to be such in Italy.

I still hesitate to refer to ENEB’s Italian university partner degree as “an official degree.”

Here’s why: https://eurydice.eacea.ec.europa.eu/eurypedia/italy/programmes-outside-bachelor-and-master-structure

Quote: “Alongside master's programmes leading to a second-cycle qualification (laurea magistrale), universities may organise scientific in-depth studies and further education courses leading to second-cycle qualifications other than master's. Courses last minimum one year (60 ECTS credits) and lead to the qualification called master universitario di primo livello (first-level university qualification).

“Courses are not organised according to national programmes and single universities issue the relevant qualification under their own autonomous responsibility.”

If this is what the Italian partner university grants, it is not an official Master’s degree in Italy. Even if some American evaluation agency finds it to be equivalent to a U.S. Master’s degree, it won’t be an official Italian Master’s degree that is issued to the student.

 

The Italian university partnership is a Level 1 Masters which is still equivalent to a US graduate certificate or 1-year of graduate study. The validation itself will only be beneficial for those who want better branding and a higher chance of acceptance of the degree, particularly from foreign credential evaluators.

Only about half of NACES evaluators give positive results for the Spanish propio as several of them point to the transcript and say 'unaccredited Masters' or give 'no credit/continuing education only' due to the unofficial degree status. The Level I Masters in Italy is not as limited as the Spanish propio but they are still practically equivalent with some caveats. I wouldn't recommend this validation at the current pricing point, especially if one already has a positive evaluation from a reputable foreign credential evaluator.

 

I have seen some of the above Italian qualifications (1st level and 2nd level Master) get full degree equivalency in the past with WES, so I would not rule it out; it could happen. American and Canadian evaluators don't always follow the rule of "we're only going to give you the direct equivalent of what something represents in your country." In the EU, the direct rule is followed more strictly. You will likely not get an official Master's degree for something that doesn't represent this precise qualification elsewhere. North American evaluators tend to be more flexible.

 

The Italian Level 2 Masters could potentially be evaluated as a post-masters certificate or a Masters that requires a Masters by more progressive evaluators. If these were level 2 instead of level 1 for ENEB/UI1 validation, it would be a game changer.

 

I wonder if this is one of the first partnerships that would offer UniMarconi degrees in English. Many of the Spanish-speaking propio providers have had UniMarconi degrees available in Spanish for a long while now, but I don't recall seeing an English-language partnership like this yet. I hope it works out well for everyone involved: ENEB, UniMarconi, and all of our DI students!

 

Uniathena and mywestford already have such offers in English

 

My question has been amswered above so i delete the question

 

Seems I have failed in my DI duties to keep up on all things distance learning!

I'll hand over my DI credentials on the way out...

⚠️IMPORTANT! If you can't access an Accredited Master's right now, we recommend enrolling in one of our Private Master's programs with University Certification from Universidad Isabel I. Upon completing the program, you can convert your education into an accredited degree from the Università degli Studi Guglielmo Marconi with an exclusive discount for being an ENEB student, available only if you enroll in this term.

 

I got the same offer, $2500+another multiple choice exam+a 50 page essay and you get another university master degree from a no name italian university that might be also be evaluated as a graduate certificate or not accepted after WES figures out that it is another easy certificate.
Every week we get emails from ENEB about upgrades, a new master with only one test, an extra masters degree, an upgrade for a masters from Isabel but now with the title "propio" instead of "certified", etc.
ENEB is very creative to keep selling us stuff. I already gave 500 dlls because they sold me a new masters for 100 bucks but the time expired so the extension was 500 but it was too late for me to withdraw after so much work has been done. I would not believe this new deal after some people do it.
They claim that 2500 is the best deal but I am sure next year the same degree will sell for 1000 or 500.

 

Some Canadian evaluators already give graduate certificate level to the Isabel masters degree. If you get another graduate certificate is not really worth it. The NACES evaluator also might be skeptical of the one test, 50 page report upgrade deal and deny the equivalency.

 

Update for everyone: Italy’s Master Level 1 and Level 2 programs are recognized by WES as equivalent to a U.S. Master’s degree.

 

They've mastered the art of sales. The upgrades aren't for everyone, so it makes no sense to apply for every so-called validation deal. It's good to wait and see the credential evaluator results before jumping headlong. A lot of people paid very little money for ENEB degrees. Now they're forking out a lot of cash to get these degree upgrades. It really comes down to what a person intends to do with the degree and level of comfort that one has when holding an institution-specific degree. The folks that were not initially on board with the idea of the propio degree (but joined ENEB anyway) will probably do everything to get an official degree, including going through multiple validations.

 

WES seems to not have a problem with unofficial degree structures and tends to give them full recognition, i.e. DBA propio from UCAM. The reason they've evaluated ENEB as unaccredited was because they are the one that issued the transcript. I believe if Universidad Isabel I or any international accredited institution partner submit all official documents, they will likely get full recognition as a Masters from WES even when the more progressive evaluators would only rate them as accredited graduate study or certificates due to the unofficial degree program status.

 

We can’t be totally sure but the interpretation from one evaluator to another varies. I know how IEE interprets these but WES surprises us sometimes as they hate validation schemes which leads to schools being blacklisted but seem more reasonable with sometimes better results for non-official degree structures with what I have noticed.

The Italian Level 1 and Level 2 Masters are non-official in structure but still considered as nationally accredited degrees on an academic level. I hope someone gets these evaluated with WES or another evaluator in the next few months and it is worth the investment. That will be some interesting data to report if we see US accredited Masters equivalencies surface from several NACES and AICE evaluators.

 

The upgrade only requires a multiple choice exam and a 50 page essay. I wonder if WES would consider it a Masters degree. Marconi is also very new and an online university. I would wait to see before putting some money. ENEB has been selling different upgrades during the years that after turned to be useless so we need to see what exactly give and if the evaluators accredit them.

I received another upgrade offer from a similar company called DQ Doctrinas qualitas. They claimed that they were able to issue NACES evaluations just to find out later that they have created their own evaluation company and they are not NACES certificates but evaluations that NACES evaluators might consider that is a different thing. They were selling the upgrade for 900 Euros so the Marconi thing might come out with a similar outcome.

 

It's been some time since I last looked into them, but I recall the 'DQ Doctrinas Qualitas' outfit having some kind of overlap with Universidad CLEA and the Masstercursos folks.

Alas, it seems that the Masstercursos site has gone down. However, the DQ folks can be found here: https://doctrinaqualitas.com/

Skimming through briefly, they appear to be intertwined somehow with the Círculo de Universidades Hispanoamericanas UAIII: https://ua3.lat/

It all just seems to go round and round and round. Not sure I'd want to pay extra to get additional certificates or transcripts from these folks.

 

Similar business model. First they grab you with a 100 bucks degree then the upgrades. First a diploma from CLEA, Then SABAl, then NACES (like not real ones) evaluations. They start with 100 dlls and then they start with the upgrades here and there. I bought the CLEA diploma that turned to be useless because nobody will take it. In Mexico without a RVOE has no value. I tried at least getting a graduate certificate but they don't supply transcripts so the whole thing could not be used in the USA or Canada. The NACES like evaluations suppose to give you something that provides you with a transcript like and printed diploma with a seal that might be useful for some people but it is the same problem as ENEB, the transcript does not come come the mexican school but from an outfit set in the US so who knows if the people will buy a CLEA diploma that has mexican registration but it is supposed to be a Spanish campus but the transcript comes from a company in the US. They are getting creative to provide documents but at the end you just need a regular diploma with a transcript but it seems that they cannot provide this so they find ways around it.
