A friend mentioned to me this site.

http://alison.com/subjects/25/Diploma-Courses

So its a well known and world-wide recognised institution which delivers courses on the web.

Now after the end of the programme they issue you with a diploma if you passed(!)

They courses being NQF and FETAC (UK) i wonder now if their diplomas/certs are recognized in Mauritius.

I haven't been able to get somebody from the TEC, their busy phone numbers almost never answer..

Somebody can investigate, i would be greatful thanks

Hi.
ALISON is very good.

Nevertheless, I contacted them myself months ago concerning its recognition in Mauritius.
You have to pay Rs1000 for this information!! So I didn't bother going forward. I have a Diploma in HR via this website. But don't expect getting a job with this in Mauritius as the employers are not so well MOOC informed.

However, it can be a plus as some really intelligent employers will see that you are willing to learn more while having less[money].

There is also Coursera which I have several Statements of Accomplishment from but doesn't seem to have effect in this "cyber-loving" island. I think the TEC believes if everyone starts learning online then the universities here will just go bankrupt.

Take care.
