What learning materials did they provide? How were the assessments? Was it worth the money?
I have a PhD in Education from them that was offered as an inter-university program with UCN, thus the only diploma received was from UCN since that's the credential that was fully recognized.
I would not recommend the grado propio from Universidad Azteca as it would not receive full recognition. You will likely get a foreign credential evaluation similar to ENEBs due to the propio status. I've seen one where someone with a post-doc got non-accredited program equivalency since the program itself lacked RVOE although everything else was fully recognized. I would only do a grado propio from Azteca if you are planning on validating a degree from a non-accredited institution or program elsewhere as they will certify all of those hours leading a regionally accredited equivalent of hours but not a fully recognized degree as it would still be a non-accredited program. Otherwise, select one of their official degree programs.
The learning materials that you will receive will depend on the program you choose. If the degree is a research degree, you will only do a project or thesis. If it is a professional or course-work type degree, they will supply you with the coursework. Their official programs look like they have an established curriculum while their propio programs are more open. I only did the thesis and proposal for my PhD because with my surplus of ECTS, I was accepted with advanced standing. There was no other coursework involved.
