ENEB - exams

[nykorn]

Enroll, wait 1-3 months, pay for exam option, wait another 1-3 months to take exam, wait another 2-6 weeks for final exam grades to get inputted into your gradebook (which is odd in and of itself, it means they MUST be checking it over by hand despite using Moodle), wait another 2-6 months to get diploma.  

Is the cycle truly that long?  I'm very close to pulling the trigger.  However, I had no idea full completion could potentially be this long, from enrollment to reception of diploma.  Not that it would deter me, just curious.

Yes, it's that long, but based on what I've read both on this site and on the campus forums at ENEB itself, they sometimes also take several months to grade the essay assignments. So some students do all their homework and get their final grade right away, but other students get everything graded except, say, one assignment which takes 3 months to get a grade in. Comparatively speaking (based on reading both here and on campus) it actually seems like very few students are taking the exam route and that, while you have a chance of getting everything fast with the classic route, all exam students get a slow result and slow diploma.

At the same time, just a few years ago, ENEB had only 8,000 students. Now they claim to have over 65,000 students (it doesn't say if that includes students who already graduated or not). The English MBA course alone has over 8,000 students registered in it right now (including students who have assumably graduated). Other online schools have seen a similar explosion of growth since corona hit... Now imagine even just 5% of those students are spamming them with Emails and messages every day. Anyways, I am not blaming them for the slow time.
