Fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Previous AFD resulted in a keep because degree-granting institutions were deemed notable as long as existence could be proven, however, criteria is now different.  Bait30  Talk 2 me pls? 20:03, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete as College and university article guideline makes clear, an institution of higher learning must still pass the general notability guideline. It is also appropriate to consider the guidelines at WP:ORG. "Academy of Learning College" has since been renamed "Academy of Learning Career College" and known as AOLCC. The first source is a press release from AOLCC, and thus is neither independent nor reliable. The second is a reworking of a press release from Launchlife, the parent company for AOLCC, and thus is neither independent nor reliable. The second source also only mentions AOLCC in passing as an asset of Launchlife. LaunchLife International Inc. is the franchisor for Academy of Learning Career College, Pitman Training, and School Is Easy Tutoring.  So AOLCC is not so much a set of campuses, as a set of franchisee locations. For what it is worth AOLCC is not Better Business Bureau accredited.  As ZoomInfo (a blacklisted site) indicates at "LaunchLife International Inc. - Overview, News & Competitors" there is nothing there. An extensive Google search found nothing but related websites, directory information, and blog and facebook entries.  The one exception was the mention in South Africa Law Reports where a franchisee was estimating how much it would cost to set up an Academy of Learning college. There is no basis for notability. --Bejnar (talk) 20:46, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
