1. Use of the Term “University”
The term “University”, as used by Coats University, represents an independent online learning platform designed to provide globally certified self-development and professional training courses. The term does not imply that Coats University is an internationally accredited institution of higher learning as recognized by governmental or regional accrediting bodies associated with traditional universities.
Instead, Coats University operates under a global certification framework provided by the World Online University Review Commission (WOURC), an organization specializing in reviewing online education providers for quality standards.
