Hi
Lots of courses now can be offered fully online, which is great as it offers lots of flexibility, as participants can access the courses from all around the world.
I would advise you to consider whether you feel you learn best this way, or do you work better working with people in real life and being able to have direct contact with your lecturers and course mates.
I think a really good way to decide this can be to make a pros and cons list of completing your course online.
I hope this helps,

it requires a recognized Bachelor's degree (or equivalent at MQF Level 6) and proof of English proficiency (IELTS 6.5 or equivalent) why do you think it is a scam?

Well, if you want to work in Malta it might help, but it won't have any credibility in many other countries. Having a certificate saying you've passed exams means nothing if the content of the course and the rigour of the exams is weak. That's why, contrary to popular TSR beliefs, to some extent reputation does matter.
Online qualifications that are run by and awarded by organisations that have no academic reputation are intrinsically weaker than institutions with a credible academic record. Plus online education still has issues over the integrity of study and examination. There are doubtless a few online institutions that do have a credible academic record, the Open university in the UK for example. But that has been built up over years and years of development and evidence of producing strong graduates.
An online Maltese startup, using stock images etc is, if not directly a scam, almost certainly not worth your money, unless you are living and working in Malta.
