Wasn't the person on Reddit stating they completed their MBA at WGU in 42 days and not 4 days?

For WGU - If you're amazingly fast and knowledgeable in the subject matter, it can be done in a very short time, like this person: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid409742

It was a comment on someone else's post. There is also a post on there about how to complete it in 12 days.

So, you can:
1) get your GED (worth 4 years of high school) in less than a month just by taking a test, which is free to study for.
2) get your Bachelor's in just 1-2 months by Sophia and other services.
3) get your 1 Master's in 1 week at WGU... or less than 1 semester at a local school just by testing out of courses (which is what my sister did)
If I had a kid you can bet what I'd be making them do! I am however beginning to think education is useless.
Finished: 2 AAs, 1 BA, 2 trade schools, 3 ENEB MAs, JLPT N1.
In Progress: 1 WGU MA, 2 Mastercurssos, 3 more ENEB MAs, teacher license.

If you're in the USA, here's a controversial option, ENEB MBA/Masters combo, can be done in 4-5 months, under $600 with foreign evaluation included in the pricing, it gets evaluated as a Bachelors/Grad Cert... Or something similar if you're not in the USA, it depends if you want to go that route or not... https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid405133

I checked up on WGU, I found people who recently got their degrees done in 4 days, 14 days, 22 days, 42 days, and for Master's degrees like Education for licensure which requires both 70 hours of observation and 60 days of internship (student teaching), the fastest I saw was completion of an MA in 3 months (that person was already employed at a school so WGU didn't need to spend time looking for an internship location for them). There are still however plenty of people who are taking over 1 year to finish their degrees. Here's someone who did theirs in 4 months and they actually wrote down how long it took to finish each class, many of them were done in 1 day, the biggest holdup was they chose a capstone project that took 2 months: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-i-ear...ley-m-ed-/
When I looked, I actually found a ton of "at your own pace" RA colleges, such as Capella, but almost no info on how fast it took people to graduate, or on how many courses you can test out of. And I found some universities where you can test out of almost any course, but only once. So if you fail the test there are no retakes and you have to just take the course the normal way.
I paid $1,300 in total for 3 diplomas (roughly 90 ECTS) at ENEB including apostille, notarization, physical diplomas and the test-out method. That is 1/4th of the cost of 6 months at WGU, and 1/3rd of the cost of 12 weeks at Capella. So if the diplomas bring me even 1/4th of the luck as an RA degree in the workforce I will consider it as being worth it. The ENEB diploma already got me a small raise and a more permanent position at my workplace, while my Bachelor's degree and vocational school didn't get me anything at all. I don't think I should expect anything more from an ENEB diploma but you never know.

Just to dip my oar into the waters, *in my experience with ENEB* :
- Responses are not instant from ENEB, but have always been within an reasonable and acceptable range. I don't know if there is a translation layer between English and Spanish, and my timezone is in Canada versus Spain, and sometimes our holidays don't always matchup. However, this is almost a non-issue with me as they have always been accommodating to me as much as possible.
- They are real humans, this isn't just some automated script. My received answers are obviously written by humans, and are well-meaning.
- There are definite differences in the coursework between Canadian English and Spanish English dialects, however they are mutually intelligible. This does add complexity to the coursework but is still certainly quite workable.
- None of this is constructed or needs to be answered via AI tools such as ChatGPT. The coursework is current and reflects current issues and how to deal.
- It is actually worth learning!
- If you want ENEB, join the mailing list for deep discounts
- They give you two options, the regular option of supporting each module with your written projects, or the new "agile method" of writing a comprehensive multiple-choice exam which if you haven't done the optional quizzes and understand what is being asked and how to answer, no AI on the planet will dig you out of it, especially in the allotted time. So I feel this method is actually more legit and quite acceptable than others have noted.
- ENEB also organise free weekly (sometimes more frequently) online discussions in business topics, and these presentations are worth their weight in gold and helps you open up your mind to adjacent topics in business. The price of admission is worth this alone.
IMPORTANTLY: * WES Canada * as of today, when you go into the paid customer portal does not recognise ENEB, but DOES recognise Isabel. How this actually works out I don't know exactly, and of course this could and is likely to be entirely different with WES USA and/or WES New Zealand. Moreover, WES Canada may recognise ENEB directly at later time, who knows, WES Canada is mute on the subject.
I would also note that I feel I am getting way more value than what I have paid in fees. I feel they care about what they are providing and how they provide it.
Another excellent post on the forum here is: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...NEB-Isabel
