ISEB and UNISEB

[wow]

I am making this post to create a thread to talk about ISEB and UNISEB outside of the ENEB thread. ISEB offers Universidad Isabel I propios, with a few additional topics not offered by ENEB, all in Spanish: https://iseb.es/

I am no expert, but hopefully those who are will hop on. For example, I don't understand the difference between ISEB and UNISEB in terms of getting a UI1 propio.

Looking over the course curricula, they seem more robust than masstercursos/CLEA: https://www.masstercursos.com/

IDK anything about how ISEB, UNISEB, and Masstercursos get evaluated.

Thanks for starting the conversation!

So here's my understanding so far on what makes UNISEB different. ISEB on th other hand is nearly the same as ENEB.  For me, ISEB is the nicer looking. sightly more refined version of ENEB

ISEB and ENEB are both private business academies in Spain, and are part of the Namencis Education Group.

UNISEB is (Universidad Isabel I + ISEB) - an expanded partnership where instead of Ui1 simply certifying the ECTS like it normally does for ENEB students, those who complete a UNISEB program receive an actual Titulo Propio issued by Isabel I.  It is a slight difference, but in Spain, it appears to carry more recognition. So far the improvements noted are that the final digital diploma issued by ISEB, says Universidad Isabel I | UNISEB on top, and is signed by the Rector of Ui1. There is also a raised seal of Ui1. The Transcript also says Universidad Isabel I | UNISEB without mention of ECTS. ENEB Diplomas and Transcripts do not mention Ui1 at all, so there is a key difference. ENEB Diplomas are supported by a Ui1 Diploma that certifies the ECTS.  We will have to wait and see if Ui1 will be providing additional documentation.   

ISEB also has regular offerings which are not UNISEB. These are offered pretty much like how ENEB and Universidad Isabel I does, ENEB issues the training diploma with the number of hours, the courses, and a transcript with grades, then Ui1 certifies it with ECTS. It's not a direct titulo propio, but still treated fairly well by evaluators as we know.

Thanks for the explainer! It makes me wish ISEB's nutrition program was offered through UNISEB, but it still looks like a good deal if you can get it on sale.

Another thing to point out about ISEB is that currently almost all of their courses are in Spanish, except for 1 MBA course in English.

According to the verbiage, It seems ISEB is registered in Spain's National Registry of Training Entities.  Not just any registry, but it's a national registry that is regulated by the Spanish Ministry of Employment. So when ENEB states that ENEB is registered in the "Spanish Registry of Training Entities", it might have been nice to be more specific.  It's not just some private registry of companies. It's a little more formal than it may sound.

Spain's "State Registry of Training Entities" (Registro Estatal de Entidades de Formación) is a national registry for organizations that can receive public funding for vocational training programs. To be eligible for public funds, training providers must be registered in this state registry, which is regulated by the Spanish Ministry of Employment,.

Has anyone evaluated this diploma? What is its equivalence in the U.S.?

Hi Artem, not yet because we don't have confirmation that the single diploma and transcripts they gave yesterday are the final set of documents or if Ui1 will be giving supplemental docs in addition, such as an actual diploma conferred by Ui1 as an actual Titulo Propio. So we will have to wait to get confirmation

So I have enrolled for the ISEB Master en Nutricion y Salud (Master in Nutrition and Health), with 11 modules. I logged into my UNISEB platform and the program showed up there. There are practice questionnaires for most of the modules. There is multimedia in Spanish and PDFs for the course material. One of the modules actually has course material that pop up. So I had to enable pop-ups. While I did UNISEB I had no pop up indications.

I was able to get high-quality translations of the 11 PDFs (200+ pages for most of them) through DeepL Translate. I searched, and it came up as a high-quality platform. The AI translators in Adobe and free platforms are overwhelmed by such large files, so I had to find something else.

DeepL Translate was used for all 11 modules and the syllabus. It was able to translate most text except for diagrams in Spanish, but that's not so bad because I do understand Spanish somewhat. Most of these are nutritional terms that are very close to the English counterparts, and even just casually reading or listening to Spanish, I tend to understand at least half, most of the time. 

I also have Speecify, so I uploaded the translated PDFs to Speecify, and listened to them with Snoop Dog as the reading voice, and it kept me awake! I follow along on the PDF as I listen.

It seems that based on the syllabus and the module content, I should be able to satisfy the 3 prerequisite courses in the US and also transfer 9 credits (3 courses) into the Master's program I like. All of it is speculation, but we will find out down the line, if that works, it's not bad for $850. 

I like to do these things fast, so hopefully I finish in a reasonable period of time. The Master's program I want to do in the future is quite pricey, so it's not something I am going to do right away, probably within 24 months, but simply thinking ahead. I might be in a lot of programs all at once, but I am also almost done with most of them, so I think I can handle this addition.

Thank you!

As I recently completed the UNISEB convalidation process for the MBA portion of my ENEB MBA & Master in Financial Markets and Asset Management, I’ve been considering enrolling directly in the UNISEB Master in Finance and Markets as well. All courses except the MBA are in Spanish, however for the reasons I had explained before, I don't mind doing the courses in Spanish and using translation.

From what I understand after reviewing the ISEB/UNISEB syllabus, they accept coursework completed at other universities in Spain (or abroad) for credit transfer, allowing students to convalidate previously completed modules. I’ve already reached out to ISEB to ask about this option and was expecting a call soon with pricing details so this link is just in time!

Technically, I’ve already completed all the required modules between ENEB and UNISEB for the Master in Finance and Markets, so we’ll see what they say. 

On the transcript, the convalidated subjects appear as “conv” (convalidada) — meaning they’re accepted but don’t carry a grade. 
The 3 additional modules at UNISEB for this degree, I just completed for the MBA, so maybe for those 3 modules I would get to carry the UNISEB grades.

If I go that route, this particular degree would show “conv” entries but 3 modules could show 3 grades. That wouldn’t contribute much for transfer credit or GPA-based evaluation, though it would still be nice to hold the credential itself.

That said, I’m also considering asking if I could retake all the modules instead of convalidating them, so I can earn fresh grades and end up with two distinct degrees —

1️⃣ MBA
2️⃣ Master in Finance and Markets

We’ll see what ISEB says, but I’m leaning toward completing the modules again as the time and cost is reasonable.

Spoke to ISEB today, and they said the link for $727 was not for UNISEB programs.

Instead, I was quoted 2490 USD for enrollment into a UNISEB program, but there's a discount, and it would be $2100 If I did  it by Nov 10, and that and it can be paid in installments  

I politely declined. I am sorry, the UNISEB MBA convalidation was listed at $1400, and with 60% off, it came to $560. I think I can let this one go for now.
