E.g. in Germany You may use any foreign degree, as long as it ist considered a valid degree in the country of origin and you must state where you got it from - like "John Doe, M.A. (UMPI, USA)". Even just using a non-accrediated "degree" on you biz card to "impress" businesspartners could be considered a crime, punishable with up to one year in prison over here. And putting that on your resume or CV could be considered fraudulent if that "degree" leads to you getting falesly hired- so don't even think about it ;-)
So using a real UI1-degree (most likely ENEB with UI1-certification wouldn't be enough) would be OK, since you may use it in Spain. Using a Saylor's MBA would for sure be a big No-No.
That's confusing, because Saylor's MBA is a valid degree in its country of origin because the Saylor Academy is licensed in the State of Florida.
Well you do have a point there - in Germany there is the Anabin-database run by the Standing Conference for the Ministers of Education where thye add evaluated degrees from foreign schools. If you find your school there, it is propably good to use the degree. Well saylor's is not in it. Would be interesting to see how a saylor's degree would get evaluated.
