Government warning lists

Some education authorities publish the names of institutions they have found to be fake, illegal or unrecognised. Search them all at once. Every result shows who listed it, when, and a link to the notice.⁠​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌⁠

Not on a list does not mean genuine. Most fake schools are never listed anywhere: they close and reopen under new names. Always check a school in the official register for its country: the US DAPIP database, the UK's GOV.UK recognised bodies, or Australia's TEQSA National Register.⁠​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌⁠
