I have a little more information to share about the Asian College of Teachers program. They did not respond by email and actually looked me up on Telegram, which I never use. Because of that I didn't see the response for about a month. Expect them to look you up on Telegram or Whatsapp instead of responding by email, even if you explicitly tell them that email is the best way to reach you. In almost every message I received they pushed me to have a verbal conversation, which did not ingratiate then to an introvert with a few straightforward questions. I missed phone calls from a random number in India that ended up being ACT.
I was able to confirm that the doctorate they issue is indeed a PD, not an Ed.D. Attached are copies of the diploma and transcript you receive upon completing the program.
Scholarships are available based on previous academic achievement. I sent them my ENEB transcripts (2 degrees with perfect grades) and they offered me $2100 if paid prior to the program starting or $2400 on a payment plan. I ended up passing on it for now. i might have gone for it with a PhD option, but the prospect of having to explain what a PD is combined with lack of stable income led to me passing on it for now. PD standing for physically disabled in my mind is probably not helping on a subconscious level.
There is an intake starting next week. That may or may not be the only time of the year you are able to start the program.
I cannot comment on the quality of instruction as I never received the sample course they were supposed to send.
