Alright MBA’s or soon to be MBA students and others, it’s time to get real. We’re talking about disclosures, the fine print, the “cover your backside” section of our website. It’s not sexy, but it’s necessary. So, let’s dive in.
First and foremost, the MBA Standards Board, Inc. is not here to replace your lawyer, your accountant, your college or your common sense. We provide trademark MBA certifications, and leave the educational degrees up to the colleges. We’re not responsible for your individual business decisions or outcomes. That’s on you, our friend.
When you enroll in our certification program or use our services, you’re acknowledging that you’ve read and understood these disclosures. If you don’t like what you see, well, there’s the virtual door. But if you choose to stay, you’re playing by our rules just like most other business sites.
Here’s the deal: we make no guarantees about the success or failure of your business ventures. But we do try to help you along your journey to MBA certification and are committed to answer your e-mails within 5 business days. We do try our best to have your adivisor help you every step of the way and respond to you quickly.
We’re not fortune tellers, and we don’t have a magic crystal ball. The business world is a wild and unpredictable place, and your personal results may vary. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and all that jazz.
While we strive to provide the most accurate, up-to-date, and kick-ass personal professional MBA advisor responses, education evaluation and recommendations with the best MBA online affordable course programs out there, we’re not infallible. We may make mistakes, and things may change without notice. We reserve the right to update, modify, or discontinue any part of our programs or services at any time, for any reason. We’ll do our best to keep you informed, but it’s ultimately your responsibility to stay on top of things.
At the MBA Standards Board, we prioritize the privacy and security of our Enrollees and MBA Certified Professionals. In today’s digital age, protecting personal information online is more important than ever. Sharing real names, photos, or other identifying details on the internet can potentially lead to serious negative consequences, such as doxing, harassment, identity theft, or even physical threats. Doxing, the malicious act of publicly revealing someone’s private information online can result in reputational damage, emotional distress, and compromised personal safety.
To safeguard our community from these risks, we have made the conscious choice to feature fictional profiles and testimonials on our website and marketing materials. This allows us to showcase the diverse backgrounds and accomplishments of our enrollees and alumni, while ensuring their privacy remains intact.
By using representative stories and personas, we can celebrate their successes without exposing them to unnecessary online dangers. In a world where digital privacy is increasingly under threat, we believe this approach strikes the right balance between maintaining transparency and protecting the individuals who have placed their trust in the MBA Standards Board.
The testimonials in our profile and testimonial carousels describe the experience and results of a fictional profiles created by the MBA Standards Board. Actual experiences and results may vary.
