Family Med Academy

[Hotdogman1]

The purpose of the post I wrote a couple weeks ago was to show that all the accreditations the school claimed to have were misleading, not an academic accrediting body, or non existent. As far as I could tell, their website claims to have 4 accreditations from:

• great.gov.uk - a UK government website to promote and export UK company services internationally.
  
• UK Register of Learning Providers - database that confirms the existence of a education/learning company.
  
• THE CPD STANDARDS OFFICE - continued education company.
  
• International Accreditation Council - this is mentioned in their great.gov.uk page. However, it is not a recognized accreditation body of any kind or might not exist at all.
  

Regardless of whether it is legitimate or not, I would not pay anything to this academy. The current company was created ~5 months ago and the previous iteration with a very similar name (LIVERPOOL ACADEMY OF FAMILY MEDICINE LTD vs Limited) was created ~16 months ago with a current "Active — Active proposal to strike off" status. I'd honestly rather invest in meme coins. If you are still interested in risking thousands of euros/pounds/dollars, please wait a month and I'll make my own academy:

• £50 to register a limited liability company in the UK.
  
• Free to sign up with the UK Register of Learning providers.
  
• It looks like its free to register with great.gov.uk
  
• I can't find the cost for a CPD MENA membership but this article states "The (CPD Standards Office) accreditation cost ranks at £495." (https://www.tycoonstory.com/what-costs-a...editation/) Since I'm not sure and continued education is unregulated, it seems easier/cheaper/faster to make my own CPD LLC and accredit myself.
  
• I'll establish another LLC with a professional-sounding name to potentially be mistaken for an academic accreditation body. To be more competitive than Liverpool, it'll even lead to an actual website unlike that "International Accreditation Council"
  

Total cost: £150 in initial business startup cost (3 UK LLCs). 

My accreditation page: Academy of a People (In my hypothetical, I got sued by University of the People so I had to tweak the name)

• Registered with the UK Register of Learning providers
  
• Academy of a People is officially registered with the UK government on great.gov.uk.
  
• High Learning Commission (HLC) RA Accreditation tier membership awarded by Bob's CPD Office
  
• Doctor of Business Administration accredited by AAGSB (Association to Advance Global Schools of Business LTD)
  

I might even go a step further and create my own foreign transcript evaluation company, but I'm pretty sure Validential would give a positive evaluation.

I'm not saying Liverpool is a scam, but my hypothetical academy would be just as "legitimate" and misleading. Basically: accreditations are wack/nonexistent, company histories are sketch, website is misleading.
