Free Online Courses

I have no idea who they are either - but this outfit has been operating for a long long time. I remember looking them up back in my earliest days of degree-forums. Registered in St. Vincent and the Grenadines - office on Wall St. NY.

They say they're "The first University to be accredited by ABS." Well, that hardly makes them RA, I'm guessing. The Accreditor's page is here: https://ww2.eagle.org/en/Products-and-Services/maritime-training.html

It kind of looks like one training co. accrediting another. But for free -- what does it really matter? As I've said: they've got staying power. Must be a reason.

 

Doesn't matter anyway as it was a time-limited offer and it is expired now!

 

Duuuh. Yeah. I just noticed the date of your post. 2021. Silly me. The lectures are still free, though... just not text, exam and cert. Whole thing is $150. For that price, I should be able to get some murky kind of propio elsewhere - master-of-something-or-other.

 

A lot of free stuff here:

Interesting find. A number of the classes list AI instructors. That's a new one on me.

Anyone actually completed any of these certificate or diploma courses? Likewise, anyone know anything about the parent org, European Open University?

 

AI.

 

Academy Europe lists Accreditation International (Ai) on the website. Courses are easy to complete and give a diploma as an png image file.

I don't like it. Site looks like 1994. Under "accreditation" it has a lot of bafflegab about its accrediting its own courses. It says stuff about Netherlands and you can click for Dutch, but the country code is UK.- It's not on the UK list and I didn't check with the Dutch authorities to see if it's on theirs - but if it was on either, I'd think the school would say so.

The school talks about "International accreditation" as if it were a real thing. Bad sign. Until / unless someone shows me otherwise - hard pass on this one. I think they should rename it "Billingsgate U." Fishy.

 

I can beat that - I've been to 1944 - my 1st Birthday. The party was OK but it wasn't an awesome year - yeah, I learned to walk and talk and stuff - but WW2 England and all that.
