Euro American Education Group

€18,000 for the DBA, published. Ask what is included, what is charged separately, which entity receives the payment, and what the refund position is if the group's internal arrangements change during your studies.

We have a commercial arrangement with this group and may be paid if you enrol. How CareerSkale works and is paid.

Entry to the EAI Malta DBA requires IELTS 6.5, TOEFL, PTE or Duolingo, or an exemption for native speakers. Prior professional experience is assessed "under the RPL Policy" — recognition of prior learning.

Ask what the RPL policy actually credits, how much of the programme it can reduce, and who decides.

This is the strongest recognition position of the six institutions on this site, and it still needs care.

Euro American Education Group states that it is accredited by the Malta Further & Higher Education Authority — in its own words, MFHEA "has accredited and licenced the Euro American Institute (EAI) in Malta with licence Number: 2024-032 as a 'Higher Education Institution'."

MFHEA is not on EQAR, the European Quality Assurance Register — the register of quality assurance agencies, not of individual institutions. MFHEA applied and the application was not successful; EQAR has published its decision. Malta nonetheless gives MFHEA national responsibility for higher education oversight, so the licence is a real instrument of a real regulator.

What that combination means for a qualification in a particular country is a question for the body deciding, not something we can infer for you. Ask them.

It is also the strongest claim of the six, and it deserves that acknowledgement. MFHEA is Malta's genuine statutory regulator, and this is a licence to operate as a higher education institution — a materially stronger claim than a private accreditor's certificate. Malta distinguishes "Provider Accreditation (Licensing)" from "Programme Accreditation", so establish which one applies to the DBA you would join.

Two qualifications must travel with this fact.

First, we could not verify it independently. The MFHEA register delegates to qualifications.ncfhe.gov.mt, which failed with an SSL hostname-mismatch error and is a JavaScript application our check could not read. The licence number is corroborated consistently across the group's own domains, but it is not confirmed against the register. That is a limitation of our check, not evidence against the claim — ask MFHEA or EAI for confirmation and verify it yourself.

Second, the licence covers the Malta entity only. It does not extend to EIMT in Switzerland, to Birchwood in Florida, or to LSMT. LSMT states this itself, and it is worth restating here because group marketing tends to blur it: a licence held by one member of a group says nothing about the others.

How the group structure affects you in practice

Three entities in three jurisdictions means three sets of consumer protections, three regulators and three possible answers to the question of who is responsible when something goes wrong.

If you enrol through EIMT, you hold a simultaneous registration with EAI Malta. If you enrol directly with EAI Malta, you do not acquire any Swiss or US standing. If you enrol with Birchwood, the Malta licence is irrelevant to your award entirely. None of this is hidden, but none of it is prominent either, and the group's shared branding invites an assumption of shared status that does not hold.

Before you pay, write down which entity you are contracting with, which country's law governs that contract, which regulator supervises it, and where you would go with a complaint. If any of those four answers is unclear, resolve it before money moves.
