Sorry it just looks weird when I quote, but this post is for the poster who wondered how sketchy it looks.
My answer is not very. I mean if you try and use the MBA and pretend it has the same impact as an MBA from LBS or Oxford then you will be laughed at. However, I recently interviewed for a role and the ENEB/Isabel I section on my CV sparked a lot of conversation and genuine admiration from the employer. Not so much because of the reputation of the school ( its unknown) but for me taking the initiative, finding an obscure business school and building on my business knowledge. We exist in a bit of a bubble on these types of forums where things like regulation, accreditation, credits etc are discussed in detail. In most practical job settings these things are irrelevant.
I also am interviewing shortly for another role where, to secure the interview, I messaged one of the international recruiters who held an ENEB degree to ask if they could put me in touch with the recruiters from my home country to discuss the opening. It was a brilliant icebreaker.
Search through LinkedIn, and you will see some very accomplished people in some very distinguished companies showcasing these degrees.
You have taken the initiative to pay money, learn, write papers and sit exams to achieve these qualifications ( that have been favourably approved by regulators in some instances). Don't be shy about listing them. The more good people with good careers and honest intentions that list these degrees then, the better the reputation overall.
