Well congratulations to me. I just completed my Masters of Business Administration (MBA) coursework and earned a graduate degree. Mom and Dad are as proud as they could be. And thanks to our tuition reimbursement program at EmployeeScreenIQ, continuing education didn’t cost me a dime. I’ll admit, it was a lot of hard work, but seeing that degree on the wall is all the validation I need to know that it was worth all the blood, sweat and tears.
Now, let’s evaluate the above when the truth is inserted in place of the lies and deception.
Well congratulations to me. I just completed paid for my Masters of Business Administration (MBA) coursework and earned they shipped me a graduate degree. Mom and Dad are as proud as they could be would never approve of this type of academic fraud. And thanks to our tuition reimbursement program at EmployeeScreenIQ, continuing education didn’t cost me a dime (this part was true. I expensed the cost to my company). I’ll admit, it was a lot of hard work finding a diploma mill, but seeing that degree on the wall is all the validation I need to know that it was worth all the blood, sweat and tears.
Let me tell you how easy it was for me to “earn” my MBA. I found an online diploma mill and with a couple keystrokes, input my information, the degree I wanted and my area of focus. I then paid the $150.00 fee and in just 10 days I had a very authentic-looking diploma with a raised seal and everything. The package was sent from Portugal and included information for how I could have the degree verified.
Do you have a good practice in place to ensure that your job applicants and employees haven’t committed this same type of fraud?
Not so fast there, Nick!
The Canterbury University of today traces its history to the formation of “The Canterbury College of Business Studies” founded in England in 1974. It offered “External Programmes” as a privateexternal degree granting body.
In 1988, England went under an important change in the laws governing education and in particular private degree granting bodies, Canterbury College took the opportunity to internationalise its structure and programmes by acquiring full “University Status”. Since then it has maintained its university status and Canterbury University is today a fully authorised tertiary level academic institution under British law and incorporated for that specific function in the Republic of the Seychelles, a member of the Commonwealth of the British Nations.
As someone with 27 years in the security & private investigation field I could have opted to go back to school for four years, with all the expense that it would occur, and listen to some professor tell me everything I already know. So I opted to acquire a B.Sc. in Criminology from Canterbury University. Considering that I am already well established in my profession, the title and degree is simply the icing on the cake in recognition for my own efforts. This is the beauty of schools like Canterbury. They are there primarily for established professionals. If you want to get a job with a degree from Canterbury, it is really down to the employer to accept or reject the degree. Unlike other diploma mills, Canterbury actually has a history of being a bona fide school.
Cheap imitations such as Asford, Almeda, Belford, Colton, Glendale, Redding, Greenwich, Rochfield and Suffield, have never been anything more than websites. Canterbury was a physical school in England, but maintains an academic office there while the school itself is still a physical entity in beautiful Seychelles.
Finally, only Canterbury University offers a genuine Apostilles service to verify the legality of their degrees.
