Warning about Diploma Mills!

Diploma Mills Make The Unthinkable Real

It just blows the mind: doctors, clergymen, police officers, teachers, federal employees, such as White House staffers, National Security Agency employees, FBI agents, and a senior State Department official, purchased bogus degrees to seek employment, promotions, higher positions, and better pay.

Nowadays, almost anybody can become a doctor, or receive college level and advanced degrees with almost zero effort. Even medical assistants can find gray area online medical assistant programs without any special pre-enrollment conditions, qualification screenings, or passing grade standards... for just a few hundred dollars. Cool??? Not so!

Sounds Too Good to be True?

Potential students should inform themselves to avoid hidden pitfalls before signing up for any program, especially online. For example, if a website suggests that you can learn a trade that routinely requires practical hands-on skills and complex technical knowledge and implys that upon completion you will be ready to hit the workforce without any additional training, then consumer beware.

How to Do Your Research. . . Example:
National Certification Board Accreditation

The National Accreditation and Certification Board serves as an example for your initial evaluation process. This is a private, non-government organization that is not recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and advertises its accreditation offers for alternative health programs, colleges, and graduates on the Internet at www.acertification.org.

Once you have noticed that a learning program you are interested in is accredited by an unrecognized private accreditation organization you should immediately ask yourself the following questions: Who are their chairmen, advisors, and committee? What are their requirements? How is the application process handled? Does the organization allow accredited status to be purchased for a one time fee?

What is their protocol to assure quality? What are the requirements to maintain the accredited status? Can accreditation be revoked? How often is it reviewed? Who votes for approvals? Is there a summary of their latest reviews? What does their accreditation mean to my training and education? Who recognizes it?

This type of critical pre-evaluation and questioning process is important, because the word accreditation is often used as a key selling point (a sales tool), such as in: "We are an accredited online Medical Assistant university", or "Study online with our accredited Medical Assistant certificate program".

REMEMBER:
The purpose of a certification exam is to certify that a person is proficient, and qualified to perform a certain job, which earns them their professional designation.

Certification trough a national certification body attests to the individual's specific set of knowledge, skills, and experience in the view of the issuing organization.

A non-recognized, no-credit medical assistant online course certificate is not the same as the documentation received upon graduation from a vocational medical assistant training program, and passing a national certified/registered medical assistant exam.

A certificate issued by a gray-area, unrecognized online program, or worse, a diploma mill it is by no means confirmation of conferment of an individual's knowledge, academic excellence, or qualification for a specific job. Most employers will not recognize, or accept it.
