Unauthorised intitutes - Unauthorsied Courses

This is the world of competition. Every one are making themselves fit to survive in the changing world. As a first step people choose to study and acquire knowledge to deliver on their future dreams. Many institutes are there who offer courses to the aspiring students for making a base for them in making their dream come true.

But at the same time many unauthorised institutes are also there who offer fake and bogus course degrees and cheat students. They not only kill the future but even kill the motivation of the students who opt for their courses.

Recently it has been under knowledge that the famous Frakfinn institute of Air hostess is not only illegal but even doling out fake course certificate. One of the students opted for Btec (HNC) in aviation, hotel and travel management which is an Edxcel UK course. Thanks to the father of this student who triggered that the course is a fake when when he look at the degree offered to his son mentions Btec (I). Since this is an authorised course by UK thus 'I' should not be mentioned, which stands for "International'

The aggrieved father and his son even sent a mail to Edexel about the genuineness of the certificate. In response to the mail Edexcel UK confirmed that they do not have such courses. Frankfinn is even not registered in India and they are cheating many students.

Frankfinn is not the only one but there are many institutes even which are authorised but offer courses at locations where they do not have permission or offer courses for which they are not authorised and approved.

Students need to be smarter now, they should not run after degree and before they enrol for any courses they should check the authenticity of the course.

We will get back on this as to how one can save themselves from such fraud in next article
