How can organisation which is working with 60 countries claiming to provide credibility to universities sit in a private house ? Their web site says: "Our international accreditation will reassure students, parents, and agents, that your institution is a safe investment and that you will provide them with professional teaching, valuable qualifications and a positive learning experience." What kind of organisation that claims that it's mission is to "protect students and stakeholders from unethical institutions who make false or misleading claims" can sit a private house with no proper offices, infrastructure, employees? And what are the other organisations that are listed on this same address? I do not understand?!?! What is "QISAN - Quality International Study Abroad Network"The web site says "The Quality International Study Abroad Network is here to enable the highest standards of working practice for Educational Institutions and the Agents who serve both them and a vast range of International Students." All that from the same house address???!! And - on the top of it - on the same house address ASIQUAL?!?! Web site says: "Why Study an ASIQUAL Qualification? Value for Money Flexible ASIQUAL qualifications offer a low cost alternative to full university courses. Students are able to achieve a degree level or master’s level qualification with ASIQUAL for a fraction of the price charged by many universities." REALLY? #university #scam

In 2009, The Times reported that Maurice Dimmock, ASIC's director and chief officer, had been sacked in 2003 from his job at Northumbria University as director of overseas operations.[14] The article stated that the newspaper had "established that the Home Office received, and ignored, concerns about ASIC and Mr Dimmock before it granted the company a contract. Northumbria University wrote to the UK Home Office in May 2007 to question the role the company was about to be given in distinguishing between genuine and bogus colleges."[14] Universities UK, the advocacy group for British Universities, complained to the UK Immigration Minister concerning ASIC being given an accreditation role in the UK immigration scheme. In a letter to the Home Affairs Committee, Advocacy UK wrote: "There is a lack of information and transparency about (ASIC's) management, governance and financial structures. Several of the colleges that it accredits have been associated with inappropriate activities."[14]
