Company requests accreditation for its courses
A private provider of educational services, Future Focus, has filed a judicial protest against the permanent secretary at the Ministry of Education and the Malta Qualifications Council calling on the latter to grant recognition to some of its courses.
The company said it had been licensed to provide educational courses for a number of years.
However, its repeated requests for the council to recognise its diploma level three and four courses in para-education and facilitation and the diploma in elderly care had not been issued, despite its repeated requests.
This situation, it said, was placing it at a competitive disadvantage.
It held the ministry and the council responsible for damages.

So it is true that some private providers of educational services deliver courses which are not recognised!!! Who would shoulder the responsibilty for those students who followed such courses just to find out at a later stage that their diploma was worth nothing???
