It means i am a gullible fool and take the marketing promotional material serious.

..this is what a friend of mine was naggin me about and how it can pass WES.
I know this thread is a couple months old but...
Were you/your friend looking to increase CRS scores for Canada's Express Entry? WES lists GGU and all the certs and degrees offered on UpGrad by GGU. I just logged-in and checked it.
Hey, yes he was getting the idea as it was told to him by staff from upgrad. Thoe what is not told is that you need to finish the program. As a lot of people expressed concern and me digging more into upgrad, red flags started to show up on how exactly the said program is conducted.
I would tread carefully when dealing with these type of programs that are outsourced to education platforms. Their is a lot of misleading and implying going on.
And a good Wall Street peace has recently shined a lot about the problems;

UpGrad courses from GGU & LJMU are legit though - you can search the CanadaVisa forums for positive WES reports of the Liverpool John Moores University's masters that's offered on UpGrad.
For the WSJ article, yeah the content for a lot of these online programs is created by private entities and not by professors. Doesn't mean the credential is invalid. If you're doing a masters or a pg cert or pg dip for immigration and only immigration, then quality of the content doesn't matter that much. What matters is the validity of the credential and that it's affordable/easy/fast (depending on your priorities)...
And let's be honest here - it's not like content created by professors or university staff is guaranteed to be good.
