UK iLearn Engineering [sic]: an Interesting College, or just Interesting Questions?

[RKanarek]

Greetings,

I recently discovered dreadfully named https://www.ilearnengineering.com/, which purports to be a "UK Accredited Online Engineering College." It supports its claim by citing accreditation/regulation/whatever by IEAC and EduQual. (Note the terminal "L" in EduQual. There is an entirely different organization without the "L." Do not confuse them. You're welcome. ;-) This discovery inspired a few questions:

a. To what extent should I care about https://www.ilearnengineering.com/'s association with IEAC, and to what extent would anyone I might care about (e.g., other traditional universities, American foreign degree evaluators, etc.) care about it?

b. Same as "a.", but replace IEAC with EduQual.

c. To what extent would an "International Graduate Diploma" at "level 6" (presumably FHEQ level 6?) from an private, apparently-quasi UK college be considered equivalent to a bachelor's degree from an American college? (N.B. To the best of my dim recollection, the terms college and university are differently and perhaps more rigorously defined outside America than inside America, which might make comparisons more tricky then they seem. Or not.)

d. Skipping over its atrocious naming, would anyone care to share any useful thoughts about https://www.ilearnengineering.com/?


Thanks in advance for any information.


Cordially,
Richard Kanarek

P.S. Thanks also to our host. I've found this forum very useful!
P.P.S. I've been involved in distance adult education since the late 1980s -- anyone remember CalCampus on GEnie? -- and I just noticed that this forum classified me as a "newbie." If only, if only ... .
