This question comes from another thread. In COVID times, and exceptionally for lack of alternatives, qualified professionals can confer private lower degrees to their students, enabling them to proceed to higher degrees, which will be public, verified by a collegiate.
In previous times, and in current times in Germany and other countries, the same procedure is done as the goal of private instruction. For example, a person with a Ph. D. degree can bestow a bachelorette degree (BA or BS) to a student en route to acquire a doctoral degree, to be evaluated and given by a public institution, with a collegiate system. This can help advance the student, keep research active, and will not compromise the doctor degree itself. Some specialties may require community training.
