    They usually say they will give you "life experience accreditation"...or something similar -

    Which is a fancy degree way of saying,
    Congratulations! - "You are now a graduate of 'The School of Hard Knocks'... "-

    Well, the SICK part is that there are NO STANDARDS!!!!!!!! A person that FAILED from a "bad" university may actually be better than one that graduated summa cum laude from a
    "GOOD" university! And they DO have different ways of applying credits, etc... and crddits may not be transferable. That point RIGHT THERE shows you how meaningful it is! I mean if they were HONEST, then they would give you credit for the work, RIGHT? The WORK becomes credits! SO, WHY don't they accept credits for the same work in lieu of work? Only TWO possible reasons! Either they aren't honest, or the work isn't the same. Frankly, I think the reason is generally BOTH!

    They DID come up with something called the CLEP. College Level Equivalency Placement exams. They award up to 60 credits, as I recall, to basically give you an AS, and maybe a lot of a BS. Other than that, I don't know of any reason for giving credit in lieu of physical work. The CLEP exams are proctored, cost money, and are like final exams in a way, and often given about the same weight.

    If there is a way to scam the scammers, I am all for it, as long as those scamming are legitimately entitled.

    That site you linked to says that same thing, that I just did, but basically tries to take people on their honor. It asks that you not apply if you don't know the subject. It ALSO says they feign NO attempt to verify that you DO. If too many apply and are NOT entitled, the meaning of those degrees will quickly be lost, and be worth less than the value of the paper.

    Yes, you can easily get such a "degree", but what will it really be worth in real life? Probably not much, if anything at all. Those sites/"institutions" issuing them are not accredited, and if you apply for a job with such a "degree" in your resume, the employer is sure to check it out and pick up on it.

    Happy Holidays!

      THEY claimed they WERE accredited! OK, I did a LITTLE investigating and GUESS WHAT!!!! SURPRISE!!!!!!! I found it is a SCAM!

      Buxton University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

      Are they accredited? Accredited has a SPECIAL meaning in academic circles, but they CAN skirt by on technicalities! Are they Educational degrees? Well that has a SPECIAL meaning in academic circles, but they CAN skirt by on technicalities! Are they legal? Well THAT has a SPECIAL meaning in academic circles, but they CAN skirt by on technicalities!

      According to wikipedia, HERE are the facts! They are NOT accredited by a recognized official agency! The organizations may NOT be recognized as educational in the document originating, or base countries. WHY the odd choice of words? WELL, the above one CLAIMS it is based in England, and has a UK domain. It does NOT have a relation with the REAL british university, does NOT have an EDU TLD, and is based in singapore!

      Are they LEGAL? Let's go by the above one. You DO get what they claim, and maybe they DO have transcripts. I believe it IS an "english speaking country". But a legal diploma? NOPE! Texas even has a list declaring it ILLEGAL! If you are in texas, FORGET IT!

      Wikipedia speaks of a kind of sting revealing THREE "colleges". ALL are similar!

      If you REALLY want a degree, and want to reduce time:

      1. Choose the right college/university.
      2. Take AP and college classes in high school.
      3. Get special internships, etc...
      4. Take the CLEP.

      Play your cards right, and the above can knock 4+ years off your degree. Of course, it will cost several times what instant degrees does, and take some time and effort.

      BTW a LOT of people went to diploma mills. Some companies, HECK a COUSIN of mine is doing this, are getting rich by trying to rip resumes apart. Caught in a lie in your resume can be worse than having NOTHING. AND, in the US, it can be used as a free no excuse reason for dismissal! If you are black, homosexual, handicapped and female, and a company finds such a lie on your resume, and wants to fire you, they can tell you to take a hike.
