Not anymore and not if you're American.

The UpGrad Edgewood DBA has increased to $22.5k for Americans and $13.5k for everyone else.
The GreatLearning Walsh College DBA program explicitly forbids Americans from enrolling now. Source: I tried to start process yesterday to see what kind of payment plan could be worked out and the website told to me to blow it out my American ass.

Could you click the button with a VPN? Probably. Then how will you pay? Credit card, bank draft and commonly accepted forms of payment will show the money is coming from the US. Even if you use an overseas mail drop with forwarding for a mailing address, what is your home address? Why do you have an American phone number? Why is there no permanent resident visa for another country in your American passport if you don't live in America? Yes, you can get all of these boxes checked by spending enough money, but at that point you're spending way more to pretend to be a foreigner than you are for the degree.

Well, all that's left is a PhDs from Woolf for 5000 or for free if you're smart and talented.

I enrolled and finish my MBA - MBA AI for Business with ENEB.

But Unimarconi needs a transcript of a previous degree.

If I use validential.com with my master and obtain a US validation like "Master in Business Administration" you think that can I get enrolled in the UniMarconi Program???

Or maybe I need a workaround with Sophia, TESU and so on? 

Any advice?

It says Level 7, Secondo Livello is a Level 8.....

According to Unimarconi, some of their degrees are Secondo Livello while others are Primo Livello. 
The Unimarconi MBA awarded to normal direct students, depends on the qualifications of the student:

https://www.unimarconi.com/english-courses/international-mba/

International MBA

1st and 2nd Level Master

Entry requirements:

• Applicants for the First level Master must hold  a Laurea Triennale or  equivalent degree.
  
  
• Applicants to the Second level Master must hold a Laurea Magistrale or equivalent degree.
  

Luarea Triennale (Bachelor's degree)
Laurea Magistrale (2 year 120 ECTS Master's Degree)

For those who want to be familiar with "Level 6, 7, 8" etc:

The following roughly all equate to the same:

RQF = Regulated Qualifications Framework, regulated by the UK Gov OfQual for diplomas awarded by ATHE, LRN, NCC Education, OTHM, Pearson, or Qualifi
FHEQ = Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (this is for UK University awards such as Bachelor's degrees, Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma, Master's, Doctorate degrees, etc.)
Usually, FHEQ #s are not mentioned for university awards, although it's a given how the numbers correspond.

EQF = European Qualifications Framework
In Malta, as well as Italy, and in the EU overall, they use EQF, and they are the same as RQF or FHEQ

Level 3 = University Prep (similar to AP in the US)
Level 4 = 1st year of UK Bachelor's
Level 5 = Second year of UK Bachelor's
Level 6 = Third/Final year of UK Bachelor's
Level 7 = Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma, Master's degree
Level 8 = Doctorate coursework, Level 8 postgraduate Diploma, Doctorate degree, etc.

Livello II is a professional Master's degree with an EQF level 8, grouped with Doctorate level qualifications, but is not a doctorate.

The important thing to gain admissions into Unimarconi is a Bachelor's degree or a Level 6 Diploma. The ENEB Master's Degree alone is not accepted by Unimarconi. An ENEB Master's evaluated as an equivalent to a US Bachelor's degree by NACES evaluators in the US is not accepted by Unimarconi. It would be best to gain a Bachelor's through TESU, UMPI or elsewhere. It is because a Titulo Propio is not recognized by the Spain Ministry of Education, whereas an Italian Livello I Master's is recognized by the Italian Education Ministry. So the ENEB Titulo Propio Master does not correspond to any qualifications in the Italian education system.

Even though CIMEA follows the same set of guidelines as NACES members, Italian Universities do not accept NACES evaluation reports, let alone Validential. 
Also, Validential does not evaluate ENEB degrees.

Once a bachelor's degree or a level 6 diploma is attained, Italian Universities will accept a CIMEA Comparability Report and/or a Declaration of Value from an Italian Consulate.

From what I've seen online this is recognized as Level 7 in Malta (which is the basically the same as all of the European levels with a different name, I think?). GCAS in Malta has 2 PHD offerings for €6000 minus whatever scholarship you get. https://gcas.ie/phd-natural-sciences I pinged them asking for confirmation that the Primo Livello would be accepted for doctoral programs. The doctoral offerings are limited and the subject areas on the degrees are...not the best. Neither Natural, Mathematical, and Computational Sciences or Humanities and Social Sciences convey exactly what your area of expertise is at first glance, but the price is right. It's an official degree from Malta and the dissertation has to be 80k-100k words so there shouldn't be any issues having it evaluated as a full PhD anywhere in the world.

ENEB graduates can transfer into one of the 4 degree programs with Unimarconi. One does not have to have completed a similar program at ENEB previously because all of the ENEB courses transfer, so if there are other modules required for a particular degree that is on offer, one can simply complete those modules to satisfy any deficiency.

The degree will be a Master Universitario Di Primo Livello
The Transcript will come directly from Unimarconi
The thesis is to be 12,000 words, and business-oriented, not research
Bachelor's Degree is required; the degree, transcript, and government-issued ID must be apostilled for students outside of the EU.

UNISEB Convalidation: The Transcript will come directly from Ui1

First level masters? So ENEB lied in their marketing material? 

"Your studies will qualify you for public tenders, doctoral programs, and validations with other universities."

I think we should just take all of this with caution. It's a sales office calling to promote a new offering, and the person might not fully understand. 

When I asked if it is first or second level, the person said "First level, 60 ECTS".  The truth is that the Second Level is also 60 ECTS, so the person might have just not known the answer.

Regardless of whether it is a first or second level, technically both are official degrees recognized by the Italian Ministry of Education, and they have a status that is above the titulo propio.  

According to the Unimarconi site, admission to a 1st or 2nd level master's depends on the student's previous qualifications.  

Bachelor's only students qualifies for entry in to a 1st level Master.  
A student with a Bachelor's and Level 7 (Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma, or Master's) qualifies for entry in to a 2nd Level Master's.
