Thanks for this info! Good to know your husband received fast and you didn't. I did reach out, and they keep sending me links to pay $155 for digital UI1. Ill wait it out.
Do you and your husband have bachelors degrees, or are you using this as a foreign eval of US RA Bachelors? I am struggling with my husband doing the MBA, and using it to covering the US bachelors he doesn't have.

Maybe they're asking this because the Master's in AI for business is not offered by UI1 itself. It's also a new master, it isn't running the show for years. Some masters are "also" offered as education by UI1 itself. But they may have changed some fees for the others. But a few months ago I didn't have to pay extra - it was the Big Data en Business Intelligence.
I guess it's just the Master's in AI for business, because this completely outside formation of the partnership, but they seem to would certifiy the partnership if you pay.

I wouldn’t count on getting any diploma (digital or physical) from UI1 for free. They’re more akin to a business than an educational institution or center. They already know how and why their documents are being used so they’re monetizing them to the max. They will charge you for the diploma (excessively) whether digital or physical. They also charge excessively just to email your transcripts. They know many people are using them to get favorable evaluations. Just a cost of doing business I suppose.

Asked ENEB to transfer 1 of the 2 unstarted degrees I had on my account to my mom, and to change the degree subject. They said no problem. Except they transferred both of my unstarted degrees to her account and closed my account so I could no longer log in to the campus.
I pointed out the mistake, they removed one of my degrees from my mom's account, and they re-opened my account... except I still have the original two degrees on my account, and they still haven't changed the degree subject on my mom's account to the one she wants. They also reset my mom's password without telling her, and we had to correctly guess that they had reset it to the same one they had reset mine to.
This is the first real issue I have had with ENEB customer service, ever. I'm trying to write my Emails in really simple English but it's hard to believe they still made this mistake.
On the plus side, this is still saving us quite a bit of money in getting my mom a degree, so we can't complain.

Do you and your husband have bachelors degrees, or are you using this as a foreign eval of US RA Bachelors? I am struggling with my husband doing the MBA, and using it to covering the US bachelors he doesn't have.
I do not have a bachelors (only like 2 classes away but it's $10,000 lol) but my husband does from TESU. Since Validential will evaluate them as RA Masters, that's probably the route we will go. Is someone specifically asking for your husbands Bachelors degree? Of course it depends on the field but if you have a masters they shouldn't care. Also, it's not illegal to do a masters without a bachelors. It's unconventional, but nearly every American can understand any attempt to avoid student loans. ENEB even lists on their site that if you don't have a bachelors you can contact them and ask for an exemption, so you can say that they felt his work history has prepared him for this program or something like that if they really push. If you're really super worried about it, maybe have him do two programs and send one to be evaluated as a bachelors and the other to validential to be a masters.
I have four (soon to be 5) degrees from ENEB/UI1 and linkedin only allows you to list 3 so that solved that problem. I've never been asked for my bachelors and neither has my husband, and that's across 6 countries including the US. (In a recent post I mentioned a background check issue, but it solved itself once they took a second look and saw the authenticity code on the diploma)
I know I'm being very casual about this and please don't take that as me dismissing your concerns, but I stressed about this stuff for years and finally just did it and let the chips fall where they may. It's really not worth a bunch of stress. There's no downside to getting an ENEB/UI1 degree. I'm also assuming that you guys are just getting it for the checkbox and not actually planning on learning a topic at the masters level, because ENEB is pretty shallow with their coursework.
Anyway, what's your biggest concern with the degree? Not evaluating correctly? Employers being weird about the bachelors? You said you're struggling with your husband doing the MBA, meaning you're having trouble convincing him to do it or you're not sure what to do with it once he finishes? Are you guys actually writing papers or just testing out?

You are not at all too casual in your response. I appreciate you taking the time out to explain in general.
The TRUE issue at hand, is getting past the AI bots when applying for jobs in the US. Generally you cant even apply, unless you can check the YES box for "bachelors degree." Hes been in facility management for YEARS, and has a certification in Project Management, but its that damn degree that's a problem. Hes well versed in the field, so he isnt truly looking to actually learn anything from the degree, just needs the check, like you said. Anyway, as I cruise job listings, most of the jobs in his field require a bachelors. His current job didn't, but he may not be so lucky going forward. So that's where I am going with this. I need to be able to put a bachelors on his resume. I don't care about the masters, technically. But great point, doing 2 programs. Likely would choose MBA + Project Management. Use MBA as RA Bachelors and Masters in PM.
I am assuming in the private sector, as long as he hands in the report of validation for the degrees if they question in any capacity, they will just add to a folder.
There is also the factor of him being questioned in an interview in any capacity, when I am handling all of the dirty work. He will legitimately have a breakdown if he is put on the spot in an interview. I doubt at 49 years old with experience they will even question, but just saying. I could see him saying I tried to take a shortcut and he looked stupid, etc.

Unfortunately for this purchase of the extension + a new diploma the UI1 diploma is not included.
I am just impressed with the price jump, 2 months ago the so called passport (ui1 diploma + apostille) was around 300 euros now it’s almost 700 euros.
I am still hopeful that a sale will appear, the ENEB diploma is useless for me unfortunately.

M.AI is not outside formation. Everything offered by ENEB is certified by UI1.

Yes, you are right about the partnership, my mistake. Did you use a hotmart discount or the ambassdor links to signup voor the program?
