"You can go for the engineering degree program of Westcoast University .You can do the program in one year duration if you have working experience in engineering field for 5 or more than 5 years after your diploma .......... If no experience or below 5 years experience, you can complete the program in 2 years. . If you have 15+ years of working experience , you can complete the program as immediate graduation within 3 month's time. You can do the program where ever you are at present. This is a distance education program for diploma holders .Nothing will be mentioned about the distance program in your certificate. It will be same as of the regular candidates.This is also a four years degree program for the regular students who come after their 12th graduation (regular stream)........Regarding with the diploma holders ,the university is giving you 50% excemption in studies . Your diploma and its duration is being credited into university's degree program ,and hence you will be able to do it in a short duration.The certificate which you get will be of four years.The duration of your diploma is being added into the engineering degree program....West coast university is an accredited university" My question is can I belive this and how I can attest this is this certificate when I am in Kuwait, because this university from Chili.
