Corllins university

They are accredited by unrecognized accreditation agencies. As a rule there no such things as "life experience" degrees.

But there are! My company has an internal skills assessment done every two years, and some people receive promotions based on perceived skills enhancement (for example, a person may not have done an MBA but his work here at the firm shows that he is performing at the same level as an MBA graduate who is also working with us). So our company awards Life Experience certificates, and I am sure every company would accept it - even if they don't value it as much as a traditional certificate.

That just rewarding experience within a company. That's always happened. But it's different than paying for a degree as a student which is what these "universities are doing. In your case the person has done something concrete to earn their promotion - they did the work within the company that is monitoring their work.

An interesting and perhaps valuable discussion will have to be had about the differences of the (I) LIFE EXPERIENCE criteria on the one hand, and in contrast the (ii) RECOGNIZED PRIOR LEARNING criteria.
(I) Thus what constitutes life experience clearly begs the question HOW can a standardised metric be formulated without also determining the relative elemental skill and comprehension values to be applied? It can never be sufficient to merely claim and be credited with a professional degree solely on the grounds that one has worked in the field without an in-depth demonstration of ones competency being at least equal to that attained in a formally structured course of learning (generally a mix of academic and practical experience). Without such evidence LIFE EXPERIENCE is, like a puff of hot air, but an empty claim. Any so called academic credentials lack credible third party support. On the other hand, if measurable learning is verifiable and can be accredited by a recognized independent third party, than
(ii) We enter the recognized prior learning (RPL) process. In essence the RPL criteria are those applied to measuring learning outcomes stipulated under the teaching & learning quality standards. Any person claiming to be entitled to recognition of life experience can sit the necessary RPL tests and, if successful, have the life experience measured and credited towards a formal diploma / degree. In this context it should be noted that most higher education providers require at least some course work in conjunction with the RPL procedure before a degree will be awarded.
In summary then, any qualification so-called awarded solely on the basis of an applicant's unsubstantiated claims is NOT, nor ever will be worth the paper it is printed on.

Upon reflection of the various points raised in this discussion I offer some further thoughts. Thus, the value of any education can ultimately only be measured in terms of (I) the perceived or real benefits to the individual holder, and (ii) the flow-on productivity enjoyed by society at large. Society therefore has a vested interest in the type, extent and timing of education for its members.

And it is this aspect that underlies the on-going debates about Work Experience recognition. There are those propounding the view that 'unregulated accreditation of learning outcomes devalue, indeed threaten the integrity of the formal education system and those, in society, who rely upon it. In contrast there are those who hold to the view that regulation leads to over regulation as it comes to protect those 'in the club' at the exclusion of all others. And then there are those who assert that formal central accreditation of individual courses rather than whole schools / universities will provide an avenue towards the integration of recognised prior learning varification processes into central accreditation procedures. In a sense many professional associations (i.e. Architecture, Law, Medicine etc) are already accrediting courses as well as setting their own membership examination for aspiring members who claim educational, vocational qualifications and professional experience who cannot provide acceptable verification.

However the particular circumstances may make the use an unaccredited degree / diploma / certificate potentially illegal. In short 'passing off, holding out and knowingly engaging in deceptive conduct' is not only illegal, but can lead to substantial civil damages actions against the perpetrator. On the other hand if the use of such unaccredited qualification is unlikely to mislead or otherwise cause a person detriment, the said use of such assertions can, if not condoned
than at least be deemed harmless.

I have a Masters in ( HVAC) Heating Ventilation Air conditioning Technologies, EPA Universal Certified, R410A Freon Certified, witrh thirty plus years experience in the field and class work, (And I think in this Industry life Exsperiance is more important then sitting at a desk I have done both ) I teach and the hands on knowleg e is just as Importanat as BOOK

Seriously, it does not matter how you get your degree. You just need to rove that you can deliver when you start working with some company and how successful you are will credit to the very university you graduate from. Imagine what the point saying that you r harvard graduate and you can't perform. Yet the other guys from corllins has such great attitude and skills that make the company he worked with profitable and create good environment. In the end it does not give any right from any persons or organization or even government to say such and such degree is fake or milled. I have seen universities with so called huge established physical institutions with international n national accreditation that produces graduates that are not competitive, incompetent and ended up as a toll gate collector after 4 years of university degree.

I did a PhD with Corllins University and it consisted of 1200 type written pages and a 300 page dissertation. I was asked on every paper to re-write and re-submitt before they would accept my work. Education is what you make of it. My experience with Corllins is that they were harder and tougher than other online universities. I have 13 years and 1200 pages dedicated to my PhD. Do I think it was worth it? Yes. Would I recommend Corllins? Yes I WOULD.

I do not believe in Life Experience Degrees. However Corllins University has a degree program that is not experienced based but requires extensive thesis writing with a final dissertation that is justly evaluated. I spent many years getting my degree and would match my effort with Corllins with that of any other online university. I currently make in excess of $400,000.00 per year. Find me 5 PhD's from Stanford or Harvard that can match that. Intellect is not based on the University but on the person. A degree is based on the effort of the one who holds the degree. I spent many years attaining my degree and I feel it was worth it. Thank you Corllins University for your part in making me a success.

Hopefully you will hang around here and answer questions in your areas of expertise.

It is nice that there is such nice university like Corllins University exists in world.
I congratulate Corllins University and wish their grand success.

Have you a degree from there?

Hello, I did a phd degree with corllins university wich is base on prior learning and I am very satisfyed of that. The reason is that I have many diplomas but I was searching for Phd degree, which represent a dream for me and has opened to me many job opportunities. Thank you Corllins university.

Ok let's clarify the life experience thing here so many are misunderstanding from what I can see. I had previous university and college credits and training to transfer into my degree. Corllins staff asked me for my resume.   to see if I had applied these skills and education into real world practical experience. I actually think that is great. Some people transfer credits from 10 or 20 years ago into other Programs they actually never used anytime in their lives. Did they retain it? Use it? Are they even current in those skills or mindset? Probably not. And yes employers to look at your experience! That's huge towards whether you know what you are doing, right? So the combination of Corllins doing background checks on education and life experience speaks volumes to me. Also many have been awarded honorary degrees on experience in other walks of life so what wrong with combining that into a real world degree of education, training and experience? Sounds damn good to me as someone who used to hire staff...

I have a social work degree from Corllins. I work as a Counselor with the government and I have never had anyone not impressed with my education, training and experience. I am a professional and good at what I do. Corllins was a great experience with professional staff and a solid process. I would recommend them to anyone! Best wishes to Corllins and continued success in the future.

You can follow Corllins on Facebook too, not sure about Twitter :)

I smell a plant. :D

A plant? I don't think so... first I'm Canadian living in Northern Sask. I also went to CDI college and University of Winnipeg in Manitoba, I transferred my credits to Corllins from these two. I work as a Counselor but recently resigned my position due to the extreme conditions where I live. If your not sure about Corllins then call them they'll answer all your questions.
Thanks,

What if the applicant has done a masters degree nad has experience in the field for more than a decade, so what are your thoughts?
