IHETC
The practical guides
Applying, enrolling, funding, starting, succeeding, continuing: every stage has its guide, and every guide reads as a plan of action. You leave with a numbered sequence of steps, dates and the documents to gather.
What each guide gives you
A guide does not lay out a principle, it sets out a procedure. Each is built on the same frame: what you prepare, the numbered sequence of steps with what each produces, the figures drawn from the catalogue, and the questions actually asked. It is the most operational family on the site, and the only one read with an action in hand.
A numbered sequence of steps
At each step, what you do and what you get. Nothing is deferred to « contact us ».
Stated turnarounds
Ten working days for a decision, two for an acknowledgement. The same turnarounds for everyone.
Figures drawn from the catalogue
Durations, credits, supervised hours, fees in Guinean francs: recomputed, never copied.
The questions actually asked
The ones that decide: the weekly load, the amount that binds, what the award attests.
The family in figures
These counters are measured on the guides themselves and on the catalogue: they move the day a guide is added or a programme enters the catalogue.
