The institute
The institute in figures, recomputed at every publication
Every number on this page is computed from the deposited catalogue at the moment the site is built. None is typed in by hand, which lets you recount them all for yourself.
What the catalogue carries
Four numbers are enough to place the institution: what it opens for enrolment, what it documents in the framework, and the ground it covers. The other three sections break each of them down.
- programmes open for enrolment
- 30
- professional qualifications in the framework
- 72
- competency fields covered
- 13
- schools, one of them for research
- 6

- Beginner
- 87 (20 %)
- Intermediate

Fields, by volume

- credits across professional qualifications
- 4 975
- supervised hours across qualifications
- 49 750

Where each figure comes from
Five sources, and all of them are open. This list exists so that any figure on this site can always be traced back to the document that carries it.
- The official deposited catalogue, for credits, hours and durations
- The catalogue rule: one credit equals 25 hours, ten of them supervised
- The professional qualifications framework, for competency units
- The census of the base by field and level, unclassified ones included
- The institution's fee schedule, expressed in Guinean francs

- VisionTalent that wants to qualify without leaving home, employers hiring for precise skills: a single equation, solved in one place. IHETC is built to hold it, and this page says exactly how.
- Our modelA programme is judged on three things: what is taught, how you verify it was learned, and who answers for it. Here are our three answers, with what makes each of them true.
- Teaching methodAn hour of teaching at IHETC has a precise shape, and it is the same across every programme. Knowing it before you enrol tells you what you will do with your time, week after week.
- GovernanceAn institution that names its officers commits someone. Here is who carries the project, which decisions belong to people, and the exact route a complaint follows.
- Academic governanceDecisions touching programmes and awards are taken in council, on a written agenda and by vote. Here is what the academic council settles, how it sits, and what follows from each of its meetings.
- Academic teamFour roles surround every programme, and each carries a written responsibility. Knowing who designs, who marks and who follows you tells you whom to contact, from day one.
- QualityTeaching quality is proved by the circuit that produces it and by the reviews that correct it. Here are both, with their cadence, their checkpoints and what every report triggers.
- Status and authorisationsIHETC is a private higher education institution, authorised by order of the ministry responsible for higher education and approved as a vocational training centre. Here are both frameworks, what they permit, and how to check them.
- Service commitmentsA commitment without a timeframe stays an intention. Here are ours: quantified, enforceable and identical for every enrolled learner, whatever the programme and whatever the fee paid.
- Ethics and use of AITooling produces fast, a person guarantees. This page says precisely where the tool operates, where the decision belongs to someone, and what you can expect from it during your programme.
- Data protectionA remote institution holds information about your path. Here is what it holds, what each item is for, how long it lives, and the six actions you can take yourself at any time.
- AccessibilityAccessibility is decided on concrete details: the weight of a page, the size of a text, content that opens without a network, a pace that works alongside a job. Here is how each of those points is handled.
- Applied researchResearch here carries an obligation to deliver: every project ends in a teachable module, a usable framework or a delivered tool. Here are the priorities, the circuit and the application grounds.
- International outlookAn award travels provided it is documented the way an equivalence office expects. Here is what every IHETC file contains, what a programme allows from another country, and how it can all be checked.
- Institutional partnershipsA school, an administration or a company working with us obtains a programme, a calendar and defensible records. Here are the four possible forms, what each covers, and how an agreement is put in place.
- SustainabilityIHETC's frugality comes from its model, not from a campaign: with no campus to heat, no daily commuting and no imposed paper, the essentials are secured by design. Here is exactly what that covers.
- PatronageA patron here funds something very precise: a place, a piece of equipment, or a practitioner's time. Here are the three forms open, what each covers exactly, and what the patron receives in return.
- Institutional calendarAn institutional year follows a fixed frame: admissions, opening, mid-point, assessments, boards. Knowing it tells you when to file an application, when you will be assessed and when your award is issued.
