Here's a copy/paste of my post on the sister board in regards to CreditEval and Validential being "sister companies". Link: https://www.degreeinfo.com/index.php?thr...ost-570428
As I mentioned, the scary thing is not many people know about what these type of schools are doing. If you've read their US Degree Equivalency page, you would see that Validential gave a favorable evaluation for their DBA being equal to US Regional Accreditation. That just made my mouth real bitter, that taste, too bad there's not much we can do to stop them but to inform others to verify as much info before taking any program.
And for those who don't know, Validential also owns a sister evaluation agency, CreditEval... a few months ago, I compared/researched the entire list of AICES, NACES, and ones who follow the AACRAO guidelines/standards and noticed the two have the exact same website with a different logo/name. Since then, they've somewhat updated the websites to make it look different, but their "pricing" page is formatted the same way still.
Edit to Add: And to boot, for their programs, they're trying to "give away" 75% tuition discount disguised as "scholarships". They're practically selling you a PhD that "has" equivalency for a whopping 5K Euro. People who are "frugal" enough will fall prey to that!
