It seems like you need to use https://www.vetassess.com.au/ for immigration purposes. But a thousand dollars is really a lot. 

As far as I know, vetassess might have some kind of partnership with enic/naric from Europe. And might so similar assessments, so if enic/naric in Europe/UK evaluate favorably, that vetassess should do so too. I have no idea if it makes sense.

Bump.
Also interested to know.

UofPeople ought to be ok since it's properly accredited in the U.S. (recognized by the DOE). However, everything needs verification.

It is NA and not RA which may be an issue for some. RA is still the requirement for many things in life.

Australia and New Zealand follow through with the ENIC/NARIC evaluations as I mentioned on this thread here, they'll go through as long as one or more ENIC/NARIC affiliates will accept them accordingly: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...NEB-Isabel

Not necessarily. It depends on if the country wants the school to be accredited on a state-wide basis, or if a national basis is ok. UoPeople is registered in California but not accredited in California's eyes and not eligible for state licensing purposes in Cali (for example, their Education Master's can't be used towards a public school teacher license in California), because California itself doesn't accept DEAC accreditation - afaik this is the main basis for Canada not accepting UoPeople for immigration, as on the individual state level UoPeople is unaccredited. However UoPeople is accredited on a nation-wide basis as many other states, such as Washington, accept DEAC accreditation for state licensing purposes (that same UoPeople degree can get you a Washington state public school teacher license).

So any country which uses "all of America" as the basis for its immigration decisions would accept UoPeople, but any country that considers each state to be more like its own country would not accept UoPeople. This is SEPARATE from "regional accreditation" - DEAC is not a regional accreditor, and as an example is not accepted by all Washington schools for admissions, but is still accepted for Washington state licensing purposes. Usually if you can get a state license (restricted to only people holding a degree) from the degree it means it is 100% accredited, and that list of accreditors is often on the state Board of Education and Board of Licensing websites - it is stuff like that which immigration may look at. Unfortunately you have no idea about the inner workings of some country's immigration office (if they choose a "per state" or "per country" stance) unless someone applies and reports the decision back.

If they follow ENIC/NARIC evaluations, who would ENIC/NARIC evaluate more favourably, ENEBs master or UoPeople BS CS?

I found this thread which talks about that. Do you know if this still works since the whole ENEBE WES drama from this winter?

And for Australia immigration, it seems like you can only use vetassess for the assessment, but Vetassess might have a partnership with ENIC/NARIC, so, it might just be enough...

It seems like I Forgot to post a link, for whatever I found.

But, if you have an IT profession and you did a bachelor of science in computer science degree, you can not be accessed by vetassess, but you have to be assessed by Australian Computer Society (ACT) .
