My Personal conclusion: Valid non-academic degree in Spain – little utility for academic or maybe employment in the USA and Canada. I do not have any further need to go opinion shop from other evaluators.
Oof. Body blow.
I don't know what the exact reasoning behind the decision is, but if I had to make an educated guess it would be that they deem it unaccredited because of the arrangement: Even though both schools send their own separate degrees, only ENEB handles and sends the physical transcripts. And although ENEB is accredited by Spain's accepted standards of accreditation-by-association being (One main school is accredited, and a separate school can enter into a partnership with that main school and be considered accredited by that association) it's not accredited by U.S. standards where each institution is only considered accredited if it has its own individual accreditation (i.e., you can't be accredited by a separate school, you can only be institutionally accredited by an institutional accrediting body).
Well, here are two positives:
1. It was recognized as a Master's degree instead of a Bachelors degree this time.
2. In a number of states, applying for licensure or bypassing significant amounts of practice hours in a number of fields only requires a valid Masters degree, be it accredited or unaccredited.

You wanna volunteer? Who wants to volunteer? (I would, but then, I have no need for this evaluation), this what I am proposing...
See this thread: post #4 specifically: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...r-to-Big-3
My feedback from WES will upset and disappoint many of you. It took almost four months to request the transcript ENEB to be sent to WES and receive a response for WES. WES took under two weeks.

Looks like we will have to transfer to a uni like UCN and get a degree from them for it to be valid.
Won't work through WES though. WES has slammed the door on UCN for now. You'd have to find another evaluator.
