7. Do I get a diploma after I am done? Is your school accredited?
Nope! Sorry, a diploma implies that we are operating an accredited
school and that is not the case. This is a self-study business startup
program, not a school. To award a diploma violates state and federal
guidelines established back in the 60's when many shady
"schools" sometimes called "diploma mills" offered
diplomas in exchange for money. The "diplomas" had no relation
to skills or education. Since "graduates" were really being
bilked out if their money, regulators stepped in and passed a series of
laws to protect consumers.
Now, to issue a legitimate diploma, requires that a school must be accredited
and comply with a complex set of guidelines. We are not accredited. These
guidelines include tests, grades and continual feedback of information
between students and teachers. Among other things the guidelines also
require that the teachers hold credentials from accredited
institutions.
Here, we merely supply you with
information in a series of "How to Books". If your desire is to
find out all there is to know about appliance repair this is the place you
want to be. However, everything is
self-study. No tests are sent in and no grades are ever given.
This
is not a course in the school sense, instead it is simply a business
opportunity. You do it on your own. And sorry no diploma.
Some of you are concerned about customers asking for credentials, like a
card or diploma. Forget it, in 35 years no customer has ever asked me for any type of
credential. If one did, I would figure they were crazy and leave the
job. See this and related topics in the "Customer
Relations" manual of the program.
I hope it is perfectly clear that we don't offer any sort of a Diploma;
however, if you must have apiece of paper, I have recently discovered that
you can get one from Damnation
University (ole Dam U) for only $9.99. They offer various degrees such
as Associate I of Appliance Repair, a Bachelor of Appliance Repair,
a Master of Appliance Repair and PhD of Appliance Repair. Go for it!
