A few things about Jersey. It is not part of the United Kingdom so British law is not uniformly applied. I have no idea how education law is applied.

Jersey is appealing to business because of the ease of incorporation and the lack of taxation. Incorporations are a cottage industry. Many iffy schools have used a Jersey address.

That said, it looks like a real school but I do not know enough to form any reasoned opinion on it.

This school is not on any list of official schools in the UK, to my knowledge.

Also, as Dennis indicated, Jersey is a kind of pseudo place, (my apologies to the residents) not a real place where a real university might locate, more like a place where someone might rent a mailbox and for a few extra quid per month, have all the mail forwarded to someplace else on the planet.

Let it go (also, to posters, links are nice.)

Only Highlands College mentioned:

Another page - not the education dept mentions Cambridge Inernational College but they say listing isn't an endorsement. Only Highlands has an ac.uk url

I suspect its legit but might question the usefulness of a degree.
