You wanna volunteer? Who wants to volunteer? (I would, but then, I have no need for this evaluation), this what I am proposing...

My feedback from WES will upset and disappoint many of you. It took almost four months to request the transcript ENEB to be sent to WES and receive a response for WES. WES took under two weeks.
Country: Spain
Credential: Titulo de Master
Awarded by: ENED
Status: Non-accredited program
U.S equivalency: Master’s degree from a non-accredited institution

My Personal conclusion: Valid non-academic degree in Spain – little utility for academic or maybe employment in the USA and Canada. I do not have any further need to go opinion shop from other evaluators.

Looks like we will have to transfer to a uni like UCN and get a degree from them for it to be valid.

Oof. Body blow.
I don't know what the exact reasoning behind the decision is, but if I had to make an educated guess it would be that they deem it unaccredited because of the arrangement: Even though both schools send their own separate degrees, only ENEB handles and sends the physical transcripts. And although ENEB is accredited by Spain's accepted standards of accreditation-by-association (One main school is accredited, and a separate school can enter into a partnership with that main school and be considered accredited by that association) it's not accredited by U.S. standards where each institution is only considered accredited if it has its own individual accreditation (i.e., you can't be accredited by a separate school, you can only be institutionally accredited by an institutional accrediting body).
Well, here are two positives:
1. It was recognized as a Master's degree instead of a Bachelors degree this time.
2. In a number of states, applying for licensure or bypassing significant amounts of practice hours in a number of fields only requires a valid Masters degree, be it accredited or unaccredited.

Won't work through WES though. WES has slammed the door on UCN for now. You'd have to find another evaluator.

If someone can compile a list of evaluators who will accept digital copies of documents, I'll probably bite the bullet after I finish. I have no real need for evaluation, but that way we can have an answer that doesn't come from WES, the king with the tinfoil crown...

I've been working on that. Here is what I know based on direct word from each organization:
Transcript Research takes them as long as they are sent directly from the institution.
SpanTran takes them directly from the student as long as they are official and hand-signed by the school.
International Evaluation Service takes them as long as they are sent directly from the institution.
ACEI takes them, but may--at their discretion--ask for them to come directly from the institution.
SDR Educational Consultants takes them directly from the student.
