ENEB single exam MBA

As a counterpoint, this would not be the first program to be evaluated on the basis of limited exams. Quantic's MBA and EMBA programs base 60% of the grade on two exams, a "midterm" covering Accounting, Statistics and Economics, and a final covering the remainder of the courses (Marketing, Leadership, Operations Management, etc.)

India has the concept of a "one sitting degree" (now discontinued due to fraudulent copycats I understand, but valid when delivered by a legitimate university.) A student who completed a "one sitting" degree would study for a period of perhaps 10 months and then during the 2-month exam season would sit all the exams required for the 4 year program. If they passed those exams, they would be awarded the credit for the degree immediately.

The GED is intended to be equivalent to a 4-year high school education (and is treated as such by all but the snobbiest of schools) and that is either 1 or 4 exams depending on how you look at it, taken over 8 hours.

 

The curriculum really isn’t that great. You read a poorly translated textbook that they wrote. Then you have multiple choice quizzes that don’t count for your grade. You are graded solely on the paper that you write for each “course”. Or this new 50 question test. They have random “Masterclasses” that aren’t necessarily tied to anything. It is definitely a money grab. Pay us for access. Pay us for this certificate. Pay us to add another “degree”. Pay us for this irrelevant MCA certification. Pay us to take a multiple choice test instead of a paper. The longer I was in their system, the more convoluted it seemed.

 

I've found the ENEB school very interesting from all of the perspectives I've read over the years. I still may enroll as a hobby and/or bridge to advanced standing for a DBA at some point. I never understood the MCA Business School validation/certification but after inquiring about it and actually already discerning when I first started seeing it offered, MCA Business School is attempting to accredit the "Masters" title due to the "US state-approved" status it has while ENEB is already certified by Universidad Isabel I for the credits as a Master Propio with the Masters title being unofficial by them. WES was not wrong in evaluating ENEB as a non-accredited Masters although they could do a much better job in explaining their rationale like IEE does. WES might have known about ENEB's connection with MCA Business School and is evaluating them under the same "non-accredited/state authorized" umbrella while ignoring the Universidad Isabel I certification altogether. IMO, if ENEB was only certified by Universidad Isabel I with no relationship with MCA Business School, it may be a "refuse to evaluate" situation.

MCA's partnership with UCAM is effective in that UCAM issues its own diploma and transcript based on MCA's coursework as Propio degrees just like Universidad Isabel I does for ENEB. However, MCA's validation diplomas for ENEB work for the purpose of accrediting the Master's title with their thinking being you have the accredited coursework from Isabel I so let us accredit the Master's title. MCA's validation is for accreditation only and will not work in the UCAM partnership since Universidad Isabel I takes care of this initially with their accreditation.

Many Mexican, Spanish, and Swiss schools have been blacklisted due to validation, partial accreditation, and other degree laundering schemes. I have a feeling that ENEB will be getting blacklisted by evaluators at some point with this new testing format. The evaluation will likely say PASS across the board for all courses or likely won't be eligible for a course-by-course evaluation at all which may be a problem for those who want to continue their education even though these were not designed to advance to a higher degree.

 

My concern isn’t the exam format in general; it is the rigor of this particular exam as a near-standalone path to being awarded an MBA. The point of any exam is to test if learning has occurred or knowledge is possessed at an appropriate level for whatever is being awarded/acknowledged. Are you asserting that this exam, with everything we know about the format, is appropriate by itself to demonstrate the equivalence of what is expected of an MBA or should be considered in the same category of acceptance as the others you mention?

 

I've not taken any courses by ENEB nor their exam(s) so I can't say, but it's important to emphasize that this format alone is not enough to discount the degree, since my own (accredited) MBA was awarded largely the same way.

 

I am curious if Mac and all of those who participated in ENEB programs got their 7'' tablet gifts. How does it look?

 

I was told that only people who paid the full price would get one. Meh... fine for me.

 

One can buy a really nice tablet with just half the money saved on not paying full price.

 

Full price? I see; ENEB anticipates some saint people would pay 8.400€ for the MBA and get a 7'' tablet.

 

I’m also curious as to how the diploma from UI1 is going to look like. The usual one says something like “1500 hours of study.” Any update, Mac Juli?

 

No. Not in the next 45 or so days (they wrote it may take 60 days until the diploma is issued)!

 

I also took the exam and they also said it will take for 60 days to get the digital diplomas.

 

Boy. Wrong again. Today I had to fill a type form, and when I was done, I got the message:

"You have fulfilled the form correctly. Now that we have all the information needed, we will start the issuance of the digital diplomas. Please note that the issuance take 60 days after fulfilling this form.".

 

That is some high stakes form-fillery. What if it said you made a mistake! "You have 20 seconds to comply"

 

You pay 39 Euro for a correction. This was pointed out in the mail.
