UK - Professional certificate - 69£ - Imbanewbie - 12-04-2023
Anyone seen this? I saw it on FB. https://londonsba.org.uk/courses-page/advanced-professional-certificate-in-business-management/
They are member with Continuing Professional Development (CPD). It could be a scam certificate.

This should be fine, having said that, these are CPD classes which are not worth credit or shouldn't be transferrable for credit... I would think of these as equivalent to US CEU/PEU (Continuing Education Units/Professional Education Units). These are cool for filling learning or knowledge gaps, but not really useful if you're looking for a 'certificate' in something specific, to save on cash and have similar utility, having the cheap or freebie options from Coursera/Edx certs are very similar to this...

8 certificate courses rolled into one award. Very nice looking for your wall - YMMV for use in job-hunting. Cost 129 GBP - quite affordable, I think.
Courses for the Credential (all spelled out on the Diploma). :
Financial Accounting
Financial Analysis and Reporting
Corporate Finance
Investment Management
Financial Markets
Risk Management
Budgeting and Forecasting
Tax Planning.

As they say in Nigerian Pidgin (I'm learning) "I no gree." A lot of the individual certs here are available for £10. that's $12.64 US.
Certs don't come much cheaper than that - even on sale at Udemy - and these look nicer than my Udemy ones.Way nicer.
