ISEB and UNISEB

[PearsonOTHMQualifi7654]

SlammX, would you mind to show us a scan so that we can see the holy grail? Of course you should blank out your name and such :-)
Thank you in advance!

Interesting they have a date range from June 2025 to Jan 2026. 
So it must account for when we started the ENEB MBA component. There is no transcript directly issued it seems? 
Maybe that comes later, or what was issued prior is it.

I've yet to receive my diploma, but I completed additional programs at ISEB thereafter, so maybe they are simply batching them together. 
UNISEB Diploma team confirmed last week that the Ui1 MBA Diploma has been requested for me, so I am still waiting.

On second thought, I saw randomly on a different school site, that the South African Qualifications Authority does allow holders of UCAM diplomas to submit for asessement.
As UCAM and Ui1 are fairly similar in how they work with partner institutions, I wonder if that would work for SlammX in South Africa (if I recall correctly, I think SlammX might have mentioned South Africa before.)

The've reissued the "corrected" diploma today. As far as I can tell, the only change is the removal of that date range. Other than updating the issue date from 12 March to 8 April, everything else appears to have remained unchanged.

Still no Isabel transcript though.

Yeah, I hope the transcript including the ECTS will be issued, along with the transferable credits.

Finally got them today as well. The directly issued propio does look pretty nice. The CSV part at the bottom is still in Spanish, however, I think that's fine.
As for the directly issued transcript, I have sent the UNISEB/ISEB Diploma team a follow-up email. The previous transcript, on the other hand, I find to be defensible because it is branded with Universidad Isabel I on the document itself, however, I am not a credential evaluator

The by UNISEB transcript doesn't, however, include ECTS as promised. Furthermore, it says UNISEB Academic Record, not Universidad Isabel I Academic Record. So they really need to still issue that. Other propio Master titles, for example from UCAM (Spain), also include an academic record from UCAM directly.

Much appreciated for pointing out that detail.

I noticed a few items on the MBA diploma that may be worth clarifying for consistency:

1. The MBA title includes an asterisk (*), but the corresponding disclosure on the reverse side is missing the marker/asterisk. 
   
2. The CSV verification section is in Spanish, while the rest of the document is in English
   
3. It would also be helpful to confirm the timing of the UI1-issued transcripts with ECTS
   

I’ve followed up with UNISEB/ISEB directly requesting clarification

Regarding the missing transcript, I have received the following reply:

Gracias por tu correo.


En relación con tu solicitud, nos gustaría aclarar que la Universidad Isabel I no emite ningún expediente de notas para este tipo de programas. El único documento que emiten es el diploma de título propio, el cual ya tienes disponible en el área de descarga.

En dicho diploma se incluyen los módulos cursados y los créditos del programa, que son los que pueden ser tenidos en cuenta a efectos de reconocimiento o convalidación por otras instituciones, en función de sus propios criterios.

Quedamos a tu disposición para cualquier duda adicional que pueda surgir.

Muchas gracias.

Which translates to the following:

Thank you for your email.

Regarding your request, we would like to clarify that Isabel I University does not issue any transcript for this type of program. The only document they issue is the own degree diploma, which you already have available in the download area.

This diploma includes the courses taken and the program credits, which can be considered for recognition or validation by other institutions, according to their own criteria.

We remain at your disposal for any additional questions that may arise.

Thank you very much.

Here is the latest response I received from UNISEB:

Thank you for your email.

Regarding the two points raised in relation to the asterisk (*) and the language used in the verification section, we have consulted with the University. They have informed us that these aspects are considered formatting improvements rather than corrections. As such, any adjustments will be applied only to future document requests once the updates have been implemented, and previously issued diplomas or transcripts will not be modified.

With respect to the inclusion of ECTS credits on the jointly issued transcript, we would like to clarify that UNISEB is not the awarding institution and therefore cannot independently assign or include ECTS credits in the transcript. These credits are granted by the University and are already specified in the diploma issued directly by them.

We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

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.

Yeah, received the same response. Kind of lame, if you ask me. They explicitly confirmed me via email that I would get a transcript directly from UI1.

Wow. A diploma with a disclaimer. That's a distinction WITH a difference.

Wow. A diploma with a disclaimer. That's a distinction WITH a difference.

That totally cracked me up. I have to say that I appreciate your cynicism at times, as I look at it as a healthy dose of skepticism.

That said, a UNISEB MBA resulted in a directly issued Titulo Propio with a disclaimer citing a Royal Decree, and a jointly branded UNISEB transcript showing the workload hours. For $560, I enjoyed the experience, doing all 14 modules from scratch by having transfer credits removed.

Propios have been evaluated by NACES members quite favorably, although they vary. But I get your point, you are not a fan.

Reality accepted

It's not a matter of being a fan. It's what it is, with or without my approval. 

I have been in this business for 48 years. It has been my experience that credentials presented (or merely listed) are accepted without any question or scrutiny in the vast majority of situations. 

However, when one is asked, the fewer and shorter the explanations needed, the better.
