Accreditation carries a hefty price tag. Accreditation bodies levy substantial upfront and ongoing fees to confer accreditation upon an institution. Consequently, accredited institutions transfer these costs to students, resulting in significant financial burden. As a tuition-free institution, SoBaT cannot shift these expenses to students and thus cannot afford the fees charged by accreditation bodies.
SoBaT advocates for accessible education without exorbitant fees. Consequently, we have chosen to remain an independent online business school, free from dependence on external organisations. Our objective is to uphold our status as a tuition-free institution for students worldwide.
Instead of relying on external accreditation bodies, we invite our own students who have experienced our system and quality to endorse our educational standards. We encourage students to click on the provided LinkedIn banner and follow our school’s LinkedIn page if they have not already done so. The number of followers serves as a testament to the trust and confidence our students have in us, creating an endorsement that holds greater value than any external accreditation. A higher follower count reflects stronger trust and belief in the quality of education we provide.
Universal recognition of credentials is not guaranteed globally; recognition varies at the discretion of employers, companies, or institutions.
Nonetheless, all education holds value, representing an achievement that remains with the individual who has earned it.
Our mission is to offer free education, with the primary goal of empowering individuals through knowledge. However, it is crucial to emphasise that if individuals have intentions other than genuine educational pursuits, such as seeking credits from traditional postgraduate programmes or wanting to use our qualification for immigration purposes, thorough research should be conducted before commencing their studies, not after.
