Fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. The article has only primary references to the article subject's own websites. A WP:BEFORE search revealed little or no mention of the organization and no reliable sources. Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 22:31, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

*Delete. Although this entity claimed accreditation status with Western Association of Schools and Colleges that could not be verified in the WASC directory, it does appear to be registered as a corporation with the office of California's Secretary of State. The building that is advertised as their address at 1225 Crossman Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94089, looks nothing like the building advertised on their very slick website. It doesn't even take spidey sense to be suspicious it's a scam diploma mill. But let's assume it's legit... the article fails WP:NCORP, and especially WP:AUD, requiring multiple independent, secondary, reliable regional and/or national sources. Period. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 18:02, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

:Comment - I should have noted above that as a for-profit institution, the guideline that applies here is not just the WP:GNG guideline that applies to non-profits. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 18:24, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
