Non-US Grad Cert Options?
#1
Like an onion, this area/topic seems to have layers  Big Grin

As I've been exploring this site, I've learned a lot.  I'm very much interested in the ability to take these non-US based platforms and FCE them into grad certs and credits here in the US, so like many (I assume), I started with ENEB (I'd rather have the inexpensive college credit/certs than spend the same $ for something like Coursera, edX, etc).  Personally I have had a great experience with them with no complaints at all.  That said, I wanted more options than just business related programs so I started searching and found Masstercursos.  I'm probably 90% sold on them being my next platform, but I continued to search and found Woolf and eMagister.  Unlike ENEB and Masstercursos, Woolf and eMagister appear to be aggregators (for lack of a better term), bringing together various programs from other institutions and offering a much larger scope of subject matter, which very much appeals to me.  The Woolf offerings SEEM like they'll be easier to FCE into certs/credits here (TBD), but I think I'll need to go institution by institution with the eMagister offerings to see how those will fare.  I might be biting off more than I can chew here, but are there any other "aggregators" out there (preferably proven to FCE if possible) that I should explore?  I don't mind the research as I love to learn (that's why many of us are here I'd say), but I'm not sure what exactly I'd search FOR when trying to find more options.  Any help with search terms or even helping point me at specific sites would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Woolf doesn't aggregate various programs from other institutions - other institutions take Woolf program and implement it locally as their college.

eMagister looks interesting, forgot about that one, wondering how real it is - eg. MSc in Analytics from University of Huddersfield for £ 625 ... masters directly from them is £ 8000 and that already is kind of cheap

eMagister seems to focus a lot on Spanish propios.

Dlo79, you've found some good options, but do ensure you do some additional homework when it comes to eMagister. A few of their offerings come from some entities that may be legally incorporated, but they may not be accredited institutions.

That doesn't mean that the offerings will automatically be horrific, but you may not get any transferrable credits.

Hi @Dlo79,
does it have to be a cert? You could also enroll into a Master's and transfer those creds to your US school. Depending on your objectives, the costs may be a zero sum game or even cheaper in some cases.
For instance, International University (IU) from Germany offers various Bachelors and Masters programs and they are internationally recognized, they have all the required accreditations. Additionally, they partner with WES to get foreign creds evaluated.
This is an example for their Artificial Intelligence Master in English: https://www.iu.org/masters/artificial-intelligence/. This school offers for practically all bachelors and masters program two paths: on-campus and fully online.

This school has quite a lot of Masters programs in English. The disadvantage - for some forum users - is that you pay a monthly tuition.

However, IU from Germany is somehow similar to the other Big 3 schools (e.g. TESU) in the sense that they also offer the option to transfer in credits from other schools, sources, work experience. In that regard, they are also relatively transfer friendly. As a result, if you intend a complete a masters at IU, you could save quite some money (depending on how long you gotta study to take exams. Bear in mind that IU provided the possibility to take an exam any time anywhere, they have 24/7 service for proctoring) if you transfer in some US creds to that IU school.
