Credential Fraud and Diploma Mills: A Growing and Global Challenge

BCCIE (British Columbia Council for International Education) and ACEI (Academic Credentials Evaluation Institute, Inc.) are proud to offer this free webinar: Credential Fraud and Diploma Mills: A Growing and Global Challenge.

The growth of online programs and MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) has changed the higher education landscape. With the global pandemic pushing many institutions to offer their courses online, the door has been pushed further open for the diploma mills to step in and sell their unaccredited online courses and degree programs. Their marketing tactics can be very persuasive, but there are some red flags to look out for to make sure you are not working with an unlicensed schools offering fraudulent programming.

In this webinar we will define important concepts, discuss suggested methodology, and provide real-world samples and case studies to provide an understanding of the credential fraud issue and a basic road map of what to do about it.
