ENEB Master Thread

[yhmc]

I would like to share my experience of post-ENEB study. 
Birkbeck, University of London offered me an MSc in Computer Science, and UoPeople MSIT does. I was also submitting a request for transfer credit and UoPeople accepts only one course / Databases, I feel they did not really take a look into the course, just matching the name and getting it transferred. I requested an appeal for re-evaluation, but haven't heard back yet. 

I also spent a lot of money on those evaluation companies - 

• IEE (Course-by-Course, US and CA): Graduate Certificate. CA one is pretty much useless, just some wording changes, and it is not an IRCC-approved agency for evaluation. But I don't care, I'm already in Canada and about to leave.
  
• SpanTran (General): Completion of a graduate-level program of study of business information systems.
  
• SpanTran (Course-by-Course): Waiting
  
• UK ENIC: Request me to provide more information, I said I afraid I couldn't. They have not yet replied. 
  
• ECE: Still waiting, don't really expect they will give me GPA. 
  

I'm particularly curious about UoL - did you use ENEB as an undergraduate qualification to gain access to the master's programs? Or did you ask for credit transfer? Also, which program did you finish with ENEB?

To be clear, it is real Birkbeck, instead of the online one, the online one is horrible. I used UI1 to fulfill the undergraduate requirement, there was no option for me to transfer credit or I did not notice it. I did MBA + Master in Big Data.

Right, sorry for the confusion. The real Birkbeck is good news compared to the online UoL.
Did they evaluate the degree themselves and state explicitly that it was a bachelor’s? Sometimes UK universities offer entry to master’s programs in lieu of a bachelor’s degree.

Yes, they did not ask anything about my degree, just gave me an offer right away.

That's amazing! Someone should add that to the ENEB Wiki.
Have you decided which to attend?

No  London is too expensive for me.

What's the Birkbeck tuition? Is it entirely online as well? Interesting, I think they have many online offerings, I just don't know their tuition...

Birkbeck does have online offerings, but the original poster is most likely referring to the brick and mortar program. UCL can easily go over 30,000GBPs/year for international students, I assume birkbeck would at least costs 20,000+

Hi everyone,

I hope you're doing alright.

This is my first time here and there's a question I'd like to ask. I dropped out of college from a very young age to have a startup of my own, and it's been 8 years since. Recently I've been admitted into a dual degree program at ENEB/UI1, which I'm very grateful for because I now have a chance to pursue a formal education. The question I'd like to ask is, can I use my ENEB/UI1 credits after my graduation to transfer to any particular universities for a Bachelor's Degree? Which universities will accept these credits?

I'm sorry for my poor English. 

I hope you can help me.

Thank you,

Let me clarify a point that needs to be cleared up. You DO NOT need a bachelors degree to graduate from ENEB. So please be mindful of incorrect information. With that said, let me offer some sound advice.

1. Admissions to ENEB/Ui1 can be obtained through experience. As long as you can submit to the ENEB Team that you have over 5 years of management, supervisory and leadership/entrepreneurship experience, you will be admitted. I did not complete my Bachelor's degree and was admitted based on 30 years of leadership, supervisory and management experience, with a strong Resume to prove it. The reality is, ENEB is not that harsh or demanding. Most individuals around 25+ years old who have some level of work experience are usually admitted without too much scrutiny.  

2. I don't want to retype an entire essay on this subject as we (The Forum) have already had SEVERAL discussions concerning your second question of using the ENEB degrees to transfer into an undergrad degree completion program. Let me try to be concise and help you with this question, as I myself am intimately knowledgeable and experienced in this option, as I am still involved in doing the same thing you are asking about. 

First, once you complete your dual-Masters at ENEB, you will need to get your ENEB Transcripts/Degrees evaluated by a FCE (Foreign Credential Evaluation) Company/Provider. If you go back and read the ENEB Masters Thread, there is a whole discussion on the topic. Anyhow, you will need to choose between a NACES-accredited Evaluator or non-accredited evaluator. As of right now, The Forum has received feedback from 3 Evaluators who have given reports for ENEB. I've provided 2 of them (ECE & Validential), and another person provided theirs from IEE, where IEE evaluated the ENEB Masters as a Graduate Certificate.

Second, after you have read the previous ENEB Masters Thread on this topic, you will need to do research on what College/University will accept the respective FCE Report for undergrad credits. Right now the most friendly we have seen over the last few months is Thomas Edison State University and Excelsior University...but there certainly are others. 

Finally, you will need to also understand the cost. It can be very expensive to get these FCE Reports from several of the FCE Companies. I spent $150 for Validential who evaluated my ENEB MBA as a US RA (Regionally - Accredited) Masters degree, while I spent $255 for ECE, and they evaluated my ENEB MBA & 2nd ENEB Masters as equivalent to 50+ credits at the undergraduate-level, Upper Division Courses (300 - 400). So, as I mentioned, and as you can see in my "Signature", I am still in the process of 1. completing 2 -3 more ENEB Masters (I have until Fall 2025), and 2. transferring these credits to either TESU or Excelsior University. If I can accumulate 32 ENEB Modules (over 5 Masters Degrees), then ECE will give me over 90 Undergraduate credits. I already have 60 General Eds over the years, so I would be much closer to completing my Bachelors as well. Right now, not a priority. I'm in this Doctoral program so, I'm on a ENEB break.

Again, you will need to go back over the history and past posts of this ENEB Masters Thread and also look at many of the other threads to get an idea of some of the things I've mentioned. Many, including myself, have tried to offer our opinions, experiences, advice, and counsel as ENEB becomes more involved in the lives of many students on this forum. You will need to make up your own mind, weigh all the options, and decide what's best for your academic journey. ENEB is a great option for low cost foreign education, that can be accepted here in the US. But it's up to you how you want to use it in Academia, Workplace, Resume and personal goals.

When you evaluate your ENEB diploma, do you send Validential your UI1 certificate as well? I have digital ENEB diploma now but I was told the UI1 certificate would take additional 60-90 days which I can't wait. Thank you!

The HMM Courses are OK.  They are not anything too difficult or time-heavy; essentially much like other CBT offerings from other programs and vendors.  I used them for a professional certification I need to recertify every 3 years that has a requirement of several training hours. If you have the $ to spend and can use them for professional development/to get ahead at work, it's not a bad investment and opportunity.

Mine was never requested, but my husband's was and it was after he had started his MBA program.  So, there's inconsistencies, but don't count out a request for undergraduate records.

Timeline:

Wed. April 2, 2025 - Took Final Exam with ENEB
Thu. April 3, 2025 - Confirm Data on the portal
Fri. April 4, 2025 - Received digital ENEB Diploma and Transcript from 
Sat. April 5, 2025 - Sent to Validential for evaluation
Sun. April 6, 2025 - Evaluation complete (U.S. equivalent of a Master of Business Administration and Master's Degree in Project Management)

Takeaways:

1. No matter how big or small the impact is, we are thankful for the opportunity ENEB has brought us;
2. No need to wait for UI1 certificate for evaluation;
3. Though not as universally accepted as NACES or AICE agencies, Validential is very friendly and efficient. Yes you are right my evaluation was done within 24 hours during the weekend!

Hi!

As they changed the dashboard design again, could someone please let me know where I find access to the agile test type exam?

Thank you very much!

It would be inside your courses -> final test quiz.

I just passed it. It feels stupid. I feel dirty.
I have over 20 years of experience in business and project management (PMP certified et al) but within 15 minutes (that I didn't even study for) I now have a MBA and a double Masters with a 90% passing mark.

Ark. Now if you excuse me, I am going to go throw up.

The evaluation would be a degree granted by ENEB, not UI1, which is fine if you're using it for visa purposes. But some might prefer the UI1 title for work.

I'm pretty sure you can finish WGU's MBA in one term. Any plans of getting another MBA?
