I think in previus posts their license certificate was a fake and it seems like a degree / diploma mill.

 

Lerner,


Thanks for the response

 

The Panamanian thing is a business license.
The Belgian thing is a business license.
The Seborga thing is a fake country.
This thing is a--hey, you figure it out.

 

Based on correspondance with Russian Ministry of Education, the licensing and accreditation of universities in Russian Federation
for the university only any other affiliated branches have to be inspected and earn accreditation seperatly.

The license is not transferble so maybe their Russian (Grand Ph.D)
WIDU is licensed by Moscow no document for us to review.
this license is not transferable outside Moscow.

All this accreditations are unrecognized and not GAAP

Accreditation: The following accrediting bodies have accredited West Coast University:

ü International Association of Universities and Higher Schools ((IAUHS)

http://www.bridgeworld.org/book.htm#n8

ü International Education Ministry Accreditations Association (IEMAA)-USA

http://www.interfaithedu.org

ü International Commission of Post-secondary Education (ICOPSE)-Ireland.

http://www.icopse.org

ü International Accreditation & Recognition Council (IARC)- Queensland, Australia.

http://www.iarcedu.com

ü Approved by Institute of Global Education, which has a Special Consultative Status with ESOSOC, United Nations

http://www.ecopsych.com/ige.html

Why so many accreditations ?

one GAAP should do but they don't have it

 

I have clicked the URL: http://www.bridgeworld.org It included the associations of Academie Europeenne d'Informatisation and WIDUs at different countries.

What is the nature of Academie Europeenne d'Informatisation (EAI) (URL: http://www.euroacademee.org/training )? It seems to have academic status at Belgium, http://www.euro-academy.org/presentation/statutes.htm and under the royal decree of http://www.euro-academy.org/presentation/royal.htm

Also, you can see its accreditation at http://www.euroacademee.org/training/html/accreditation.html

Is it another educational system in Eastern Europe?

 

http://www.eua.be/eua/en/about_eua.jspx

This is membership organization - not accreditatipon.

The royal letter - ie accreditation - I remember some other fake university used Royal Charter of Saudy king.

This is not Ministry of Education recognition.

 

Thanks Lerner!
However, pls see:
http://www.euro-academy.org/presentation/statutes.htm

Does it mean Academie Europeenne d'Informatisation and WIDUs can grant degrees at Belgium?

Also, you can see from its URL: http://www.bridgeworld.org . There're a lot of professors from Eastern European countries and Russia. Do they intend to form an educational consortium to confront with Western?

 

from website:
The following Universities could accept graduates of WCIMT International Advanced Diplomas, Graduate Diplomas and Degree for further higher studies:


■ Palm Beach Community College, Florida, USA



What?

 

I think WCIMT does have some course articulations with certain international universities if below international relations are correct, as a result of my internet search.

You can see there're some international professors with degrees from WIDU that WCU claimed as one of its dept.

http://www.lza.lv/scientists/stradinsj.htm (Prof Janis STRADINS, Latvian Scientist)

http://www.stup.ac.ru/tosite/eai/page/present.htm (Prof. VOLCHIKHIN Vladimir Ivanovich, Rector of Penza State University, Russian Federation)

http://www.techgalaxy.org/speakers.html (Prof. Matthew He, Nova Southeastern University, Florida, USA)

http://www.iss.niiit.ru/main-eng.htm (It shows a cooperation agreement, between AEI/WIDU and Institute of Strategic Stability set up by The Ministry for Atomic Energy of the Russian Federation, to make up the International University of Nuclear and Power Engineering (IUNPE) with the office in Moscow, Russian Federation)


Also, from the website of http://www.bridgeworld.org , you can find the profiles of Kofi Annan, the Secretary general of the United Nations and Professor Voroncov Juliy Mihajlovichc, the Assistant to the Secretary general of the United Nations, who is one of the members of Grandee doctor's committee of WIDU as stated at http://www.stup.ac.ru/tosite/eai/page/present.htm .

 

Lets say that WCU-I was claiming that they are branch of Columbia
University then they will claim that their professors are the same professors that teach at Columbia University.

From Russian perspective and law is that bthe branch university has to earn accreditation just like the main University in this case WIDU.

Now maybe it's not the case, but when I read accreditation laws of Russia then accreditation is not transferble to other branches overseas, I will ask WCU-I do they issue dual diplomas i.e. can they issue degree that is awarded by WIDU?

All the other affiliations belong to WIDU and WCU-I because they claim to be branch of WIDU they present this that virtually it's their as well.

Muncha buncha

NO, NON, NEE. NO BELGIAN GAAP DEGREES, JUST A BUSINESS LICENCE. THEY COULD SELL CHOCOLATE COVERED WORMS IF THEY WISHED.

 

ok

OK, I give in, what's the correct answer?

 

Re: Muncha buncha

You forgot NET.

 

Re: ok

Me too, even if I'm still confusing of below questions!

If you browse in detail of the AEI/WIDU website: http://www.bridgeworld.org/alf/alf.htm . Some of the professor profiles are impressive. If there is no value of AEI/WIDU in Eastern Europe, it cann't have such many professors/researchers, including officials of UN and Nobel Prize Winners. Many of them are from Russia and other Eastern European countries. If the profiles are fake, it really is the biggest game to challenge officials in UN and many European countries.

Furthermore, from http://www.bridgeworld.org/03_Manifesto/panama/ , you can find memorandum of understanding between WCU and AEI.

 

same

I can't figure out what is..................

 

Re: Re: ok

Please show one document that really shows they are GAAP.

Yes a list of Professors.

Can you tell me will WCU award their own diplomas or National Diplomas?

Will WCU award two diplomas one of WCU - accredited by unrecognized Italian accreditation and WIDU diploama?

Is WIDU diploma - a National Diploma?
By what country?

AEI - is it recognized accrediting body or Ministry of Education.
To me its a web of confusion.

Maybe some of this affiliation is recognized.

I don't think WCU agreement is legal as far as Russian Accreditation.

Re: Re: Re: ok

Actually, I do not have further idea whether WIDU/AEI/WCU is national accredited or not as a result of my internet search.

Nevertheless, it may be possible for WCU to get course articulations with some certain international accredited universities for further studies through its relations with WIDU/AEI that showed a strong international network, especially in Europe and UN, providing the professor profiles in its website are real. In fact, most of them, including UN officials and Nobel Prize winners, were graduates from WIDU holding the title of Grand PhD.

Private educational institutes can also have good academic network internationally if they have strong faculty members and course structure. In fact, some top ranking universities are in private nature.

 

Re: Re: Re: ok

Learner,

No fighting allowed. Only questions, ok?

This WIDU has many papers from Ministry of Eduation in Former Soviestsky Republics........but they are in language I cannot read and I don't know if the english translation is correct, yes.
Also they claim recognition from Russia Federation (if true this is impressive, at least to me).

Can you red the documents they have on the WIDU website?

The president of this university speaks russian, maybe you can email him and ask the hard questions in russian so he cannot pretend to not understand.

Maybe?

 

many

one thing is for sure, the WIDU is using many name of famous people, very strange indeed.
