    Hi all, id like your views on the above please, your probably aware that not all of these so called qualifications are recognised.

    Whats your opinion on accepting or rejecting them as submissions?

    If it looks dodgy, don't accept it. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut instinct, but try searching for the company name if you suspect a scam.

    I've heard about people selling qualifications over the internet for fake degrees on various Watchdog and Rogue Trader type reports. Not to mention all of the services for writing student essays. Feel free to take an ethical stand in favour of people actually earning their educational qualifications instead of just buying them.

    Some online qualifications are legit, like the Open University.

    Thanks guys, i agree, i think il have to spend that little extra time checking them to try and verify if they are genuine or not, i dont want to snub any that are genuine so il have to look a bit further into each one.

    I have an informational site in this topic and when researching saw several of those sites. My favorite - "Earn your degree in as little as two weeks." I must have did something wrong - mine took 4 years for the first one and 20 months for the second. lol

    You can do it online in as little as two weeks if you use Google Chrome. If, however, you use IE, it may take as long as four years.
