There are thousands of Kenyans doing diplomas from DALC centre located at 20th century and many more centres in Kenya.last week,the internet has been awash with mails saying it is a scam.the Cambridge and Oxford Association of managers connection is a hoax.

://www.dalcafrica.com/

It is estimated they make 5 billion per year.

The twist of the story is that certs are printed right in Kenya and not UK like people have been made to believe.one fearless blooger has commited his time ti unearth this scam diplomacon.blogspot.com

but the dilemma is that we have a hin. Minister appearing on their website,so this is all very confusing.

Anyone out there with information?

Hey all,

I think DALC is the biggest scam ever.Last year i watched a documentary on tv about some students who wanted to sue DALC for being cheated that they would graduate at The Cambridge and Oxford universities.

My neighbour wanted to take a course there so she called Cambridge,called Oxford univeristy also. The two universities denied any relation with ANY center in East Africa leave alone DALC. The two univeristies therefore said anyone claiming to be offering any programmes on their behalf is a scammer. Not convinced,she called the Commission for Higher Education in Kenya. The official there said that DALC was not a commissioned center for higher education and that they were infact going to 'crack the whip on it'......well I dont know what cut since its been nearly 2years since that day.

The documentary i watched said that there was an organization called The Cambridge and Oxford Association of Managers in UK registered.....but this has no affiliation to the two mentioned renoun univeristies.

So unless im very wrong......i think DALC is the longest and best run con business in Kenya.....



The course of the world is changed by those who dare dream!
Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

There is no way because i am in one of the DALC centre hence my concern.This is dubious.last year tuition was 9k per month but since Nov. they slashed it to 6500........Oborah says he got 'patners to fund' it

I was told there is no university in kenya that will allow me to transfer my credits,oborah sayd he will not give out the names because his competators will spoil the deal

He says that one can transfer credits outside universities,but there is no link on the website to these universities



he says that student cards and certificates are printed in the UK,they are printed right in Kenya and come owth alot of mistakes.,mine being one of them

See below and help your friends who might want to join this school..........i have been beaten,i am trying to help osmeone before tehy get swindled of their money



Oborah,the owner of DALC,will soon figure out another dishonest explanation we come across the ICT prospectus on DALC's website where they say..



Examinations for this course are from Cambridge and are practical. The marking is usually done in Cambridge and candidates receive certificates from Cambridge (CAM).
Your certificate can only be valid if it is from Cambridge (CAM) and bears the Quality Assurance Commission of UK (QAC-UK) seal which validates it and is on Cambridge CAM letterhead.


Before Humphrey (the owner of DALC) and his band of liars changes this,download your advanced business management prospectus from the DALC website and find out what it says about the Quality Assurance Commision. Apparently,the QAC has accredits the CAM diplomas. The prospectus says..

All qualifications that are recognized by Cambridge,CAM (UK) are also accredited by Qualifications Assurance Commission (QAC - UK) through APEL credit transfer system. QAC is UK's qualifications accrediting body. DALC is registered by Cambridge,CAM,as an overseas teaching centre and has chosen the credit transfer system.
