There is nothing wrong with this. It's no different in that sense than free programs offered by Coursera and other course outlets which are also not accredited.
And as for Validential, if we wanted to rag on mistakes we would be here until the next eclipse discussing all the blunders made by WES. As stated, it happens, and will keep happening because humans are behind these FCEs.
Yes, it's optional, but it's absolutely required if you want to get your degree diploma and transcript.
WES makes all kinds of mistakes as do other NACES members. But their mistakes are not of the same calibre. They might take a credential that's at doctorate level and say that it's at Master's or things like that. I am not aware of them propping up unaccredited institutions like Validential does on a regular basis. Do you have examples of these types of mistakes, as in not knowing that an institution wasn't accredited in its host country?
