CLEA & UAIII on Masstercursos

[Messdiener]

Just out of curiosity, do you feel the same about listing ENEB in your CV?

No, not at all. ENEB has the Isabel I partnership, providing a university's título propio degree alongside their own credential.

As a few of us have discussed here and on the sister board over the last few years, there are a number of Spanish (or rather Spanish-language) education providers offering their own credentials without any university backing whatsoever. These may provide some amount of learning, but they're definitely not the same as various universities' títulos propios and, without a doubt, not in the same league whatsoever as a título oficial.

Some of the big names that have come up were Unidema's Etsine Business School and Eudes Universitas. They provide classes, but the usefulness of the credentials they offer is very limited, as they are not accredited institutions in any meaningful way. Whether called a máster or a máster propio, they don't have the same standing as what ENEB+U1 offers.

So, while there has been some criticism (as well as legitimate critiques) of ENEB as well as the usefulness of the Isabel 1 título propio, at least they have some standing within the larger Spanish system, even if their degrees do not having programmatic accreditation, if I may call it that, by the national government in that country.

Meanwhile, even if they use the title "máster" on their diplomas, a Masstercursos-only "máster" or a Eudes-only "máster" is nothing more than a professional certificate, as it comes from a private education company and has no corresponding university credential or backing. Perhaps, other parts of the world might see this issue differently, but I still believe it would be more beneficial to have these listed under a different name, which could then be included on a CV in a more honest way, without needing extensive explanations.

If we think explaining título propio is difficult, how could we explain a private Spanish company's máster without it sounding like a diploma mill certificate? I've bookmarked a few of these courses for potential hobby learning in the future, but I don't think I could ever, in good conscience, put any of them on my CV.
