ENEB Master Thread

[Jujubee1990]

The only possibly detectable way is that for the test all classes will get the same grade, while most people do not get the same grade for the essay format.

Yeah. And most employers aren't going to go that far when researching a candidate's original credentials when they have the degree equivalency (or QR verification) right there. Anyone who's worried should do the homework though.

Just my opinion. I am not a fan of the test format. I just completed my 4th Masters with ENEB. I did the Essay Format. Here in the USA, it is very difficult to promote your Masters credential as achieved by a test. All Colleges/Universities will ask for a letter grade [most assuredly with a FCE Report], and in most cases they will ask for a few writing samples; especially for Doctoral admissions or transfer into an equal US Masters program.

Second, when it comes to employers, licensing, and State/Federal employment, again, while some may not ask, many will ask for a letter grade and a body of academic work that shows you have graduate-level writing, comprehension and skills. 

Testing for a Masters may work in other parts of the world, but it is very much shunned & scrutinized here in the USA.

I love the test format. For my first master’s, I attended a traditional brick-and-mortar university, where I had to write essays for every subject plus a 100+ page thesis to graduate. It was one of the most challenging and time-consuming experiences of my life. I'm still traumatized from those years. Life is too short to be spent on something that, in the end, doesn’t carry much meaning (unless you want to pursue a PhD). In my case, I know I'm not going to do a PhD. That's why the test format is perfect. I work in higher education (IT department) in the U.S., no one or even HR has asked about my grades or whether I did graduate-level writing. They just care that I actually graduated from college.
