The institute
How artificial intelligence is used, in black and white
Tooling 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.
Three rules that never move
They are published alongside the production chain and hold across every arm of the institution. They answer the question that matters: who takes responsibility for what you learn.
A human always publishes
The chain produces a draft; it never publishes on its own. An identified academic lead approves every publication and answers for it.
The freeze rule
A course does not change during its session. Altering content under a running cohort would break equal treatment between learners — an invisible risk, and the most serious one.
No agent is a teacher
A credential is a legal act. The chain produces, the human guarantees: no automated system is counted in the faculty, and none alone issues a decision that shapes a learner's path.
Where the tool produces, where the person settles
The split is clean, and it is the same for every programme. Read the table left to right: the right-hand column holds everything that commits a learner's path or a legal responsibility.
| Stage | What the tool produces | What the person settles |
|---|---|---|
| Designing a module | Sequence, exercises, work cases | Publication, under a name |
| Support | Rephrasings, neighbouring examples, pointers to the lesson | Cohort follow-up and adjustments |
| Marking | Gaps against the published grid | The certifying mark and its reasoning |
| Admission | Completeness of the file submitted | The admission, written and reasoned |
| Issuance | Record of validated units | Issuing the award, in board |
What you can ask the tutor
The tutor works on the content of the programme you are taking, at any hour and as many times as needed. Here are the uses it is designed for, and where it serves you best.
- Have a question rephrased when you cannot decode it
- Get an example with the same structure, on a case other than yours
- Be pointed to the exact page of the lesson that covers your sticking point
- Check your reasoning step by step, before submitting
- Revise starting from the points where you asked the most
Your exchanges and your learning data
Exchanges with the tutor serve your progress and stay between you and it: they are passed to no parent, no employer and no marker. What circulates is what was submitted and assessed — work, signed corrections, validated units — which is exactly what your competency record needs. That boundary is a design choice: a person who knows they are permanently watched stops asking the question that would move them forward.
Questions about the use of AI
Can an automated system mark me?
The certifying mark is settled by a person, who signs it and gives the reasoning. Tools prepare inputs — gaps against the published grid, records of submitted work — and the marker decides on those inputs. It is a design rule, published with the production chain and enforceable.
Does the tutor make things up?
It is anchored in the content of the programme being taken rather than plugged into the open web. That makes it terser and far more reliable on what is actually taught, and it lets you trace every answer back to the lesson page it comes from.
May I use AI tools for my own work?
Permitted use is written on every marking grid, before submission: some assessments require entirely personal work, others assess your ability to drive a tool and check its output. In both cases the rule is known before you begin.

- 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.
- 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.
- The institute in figuresEvery 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.
