If ENEB doesn't fill the purposes that you want, that's fine. But it doesn't make them a scam. There are worse ways to spend $300. I'd personally rather have a titulo propio than 1 or 2 certificates of dubious quality from Coursera/edX.
What they are selling is not a legit, accredited master's degree (let alone TWO of them) in the US.
It's been evaluated as equivalent to a Bachelor's degree, at the very least. A second Bachelor's degree or even just a (grad) certificate for $300 + evaluation costs is a good deal. It doesn't have to be equivalent to a Master's degree. It's still legit, whether or not it works for your needs is another matter.

But if everyone wants to jump through hoops to try to turn it into something it's not JUST because it's cheap, have at it.
A free MOOC isn't going to give you a certificate or anything like that. Pretty worthless for everything except 100% personal enrichment. If you're looking for that, this forum probably isn't the right place for you. And something like "MBA (Titulo Propio), Isabel I" is going to carry more weight with more employers than something like this specialization: https://www.coursera.org/specializations...management?
Quote:An unaccredited $300 degree (sorry, two degrees...)from Spain is of very little value in the US. In Europe, maybe.
See above. Also, not everyone in this forum is American.
Quote:I just find it amusing that people here question the legitimacy of a degree from the UK's Open University, while twisting themselves into a pretzel to make this a thing. If there's one thing all Groupon schools have in common, it's that they sell their programs for peanuts for a reason.
I haven't seen anyone questioning Open University's legitimacy in a while. They do, however, tend to be stupidly expensive for people outside the UK. Dumb name, too, which is probably why people even question if it's a valid university or not.
