The biggest problem with this website in order for us to respond, is to know who the individual is who is complaining so we can actually look into this and respond. In this case, however we know who Jimbo is. His name is James Santucci, 700 NE Harbour Terr. apt. 221, Boca Raton, Fl 33431, 561-395-6258. His son Joshua, who is a perfect gentleman, applied to our company for a foreign credential evaluation. He graduated from an accredited high school in the Philippines and then he attended Lyceum of Subic Bay, which was not listed as an accredited university on the web site of the Commission of Higher Education in the Phillippines. We offered to complete the evaluation of his high school diploma and indicate that the other school was not accredited, but both Joshua and his father (who was extremely rude to the evaluator assigned to this case) insisted that this school was accredited. After dozens of e-mails, letters and international phone calls, we confirmed that the Lyceum of Subic Bay was in fact not accredited as an institution of higher education in the Philippines. It is a post-secondary vocational school and some of its programs are registered by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority in the Philippines. However, Joshua was enrolled in a practical nursing program in 2008 and this program only became registered in January of 2009. Therefore, had Joshua and his father agreed for us to release our evaluatin in December of last year, it would have been accurate and Joshua would have been able to attend college. He will not be getting any transfer credits for study at this vocational school. While we will be always happy to assist Joshua in any way we can. Sincerely, Josef Silny President
