A file that reads beyond borders

An 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.

What makes a file readable elsewhere

An equivalence office always opens a file on the same documents, and looks for them in the same order. They are produced as a matter of course with every award, with nothing to request.

  • Supervised hours, unit by unit, and their total
  • The credits attached to each unit, under the catalogue rule
  • The validated competency framework, stated in action verbs
  • Assessment arrangements and the pass threshold applied
  • The award identifier and its public verification address

Studying from another country

The programme runs entirely remotely: no residence formality is required to enrol, study and sit assessments. Three points are worth knowing before applying from abroad.

Time zone

Collective sessions are announced in the semester calendar and recorded. Work is submitted against dates, not local times.

Paying the fees

Amounts are set in Guinean francs, with their payment schedule. The programme page shows the exact amount before enrolment.

Identity check

Every certifying assessment includes an identity check, carried out remotely. It protects the worth of the award you obtain.

Where to find each document

The table maps what an equivalence office asks for to the exact place where each document sits. A file can be assembled that way without writing to us.

Two languages, across the whole surface

Every public page of this site exists in French and in English, each with its own address: a foreign correspondent opens directly the version they read. Teaching is delivered in French, and each field's technical vocabulary is given in both languages — which is what makes a competency stateable in an international interview.
