ROTFL. This is called "Volkshochschule" in Germany. Hochschule can be translated to University. One guy from former Yugoslavia took an accounting course there, got a certificate and had this translated (to Serbian, Croatian or whatever). The translater did indeed translate Volkshochschule to Peoples University and the guy managed to secure a Professor position with it at a University. Of cause later this caused a scandal...

Strange, they must have also "translated" the certificate to a PhD in that case :)

In Germany the PhD isn’t necessary to become a Professor. Not sure about the other country though.
