Validential will only evaluate accredited institutions. ENEB alone would only be considered the training institution component and alone would not be recognized. I actually like the name "Validential" because it seems to indicate that this company is in favor of not just equating a foreign degree to a US degree but giving a little more leeway to schools that have programmatic accreditation but are not fully recognized institutions or in Isabel I's Propio cases the exact opposite where you have an accredited institution that certifies a program like ENEB that is not recognized/accredited by itself.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing. It's a good thing because it gives those schools or programs who lacks some accreditation (not all) a way to get their degrees recognized. It's a bad thing however because it compromises colleges with full recognition. Isabel I/ENEB was built for the private industry and other broader industries who are OK with quality education without being a stickler about the level of accreditation or recognition. If the Propio degree is used with the same intention in the US/UK/Canada as it would be used in Spain outside of public administration, government, and university positions, these foreign credential evaluations may likely be inconsequential in the jobs one could obtain. At the same time, Validential seems to be made for programs that need that push for recognition as well as to sway an employer or school who is likely to want a more conservative evaluator (ie. WES) to give full recognition to a foreign degree.
