The detail the document summarises
The document says what you obtained; the transcript says how. It lists every unit taken, its year, its supervised volume, its credits and its validation date. It is the document an equivalence office asks for first.
What a transcript is actually for
Three readers open it, for three reasons. An equivalence office looks for hour volumes to compare with its own framework. An employer looks for the unit matching the assignment they want to entrust. You yourself find the exact balance of what is acquired, which makes the rest of an interrupted path costable.
For an equivalence office
Supervised volumes and credits per unit, under the same calculation rule as the rest of the catalogue.
For an employer
The unit detail allows a specific achievement to be matched with a specific assignment.
For you
The exact balance of your credits, on which any later path is computed.
A transcript, as it appears

Questions about the transcript
Is the transcript issued with the document?
It is issued at the same time, and it carries the same reference. Both are presented together to an equivalence office, which reads the document for the outcome and the transcript for the detail.
Is a partial transcript available mid-path?
Yes, on written request. It carries the units already validated, their credits and their dates. It is the useful document for an internal application or to establish a balance before resuming a path.
Is the transcript public like the reference?
The transcript is issued to you, and you pass it on to whomever you choose. The public page publishes the title, the validated competencies, total credits, the date and the status: that is what a check requires, and it is open with no account.
