Application for External Credit

For students who want to apply for credit for modules from a completed /incomplete qualification done at another accredited and registered provider.

• Credit can only be awarded at the same or lower NQF level and cannot be awarded at a higher level than the credit was originally earned. Similarly credit values can only be awarded at the same or a lower level.
• Applications can only be processed for students who have been allocated an IIE student or prospect number.
• Students must attend class and undertake all forms of assessment until the outcome of the application is known.

• Student needs to provide original academic record (proof of subjects/modules passed/portfolio of evidence). *
• Documentation detailing the learning outcomes for each module / unit standard. The name and content page of the prescribed textbook is not sufficient. Outcomes and information related to the programme/ course studied that will enable assessment of outcomes, credits and content are required.*
• In the case of non-South African qualifications:
• SAQA equivalence assessment of the qualification, outcomes and information related to the programme/ course studied that will enable the same assessment as for local qualification.*
• Proof of the accreditation status of the institution and qualification in the country of origin.

• Provision of detail in regard to the outcomes (module), contact time and method of assessment may be requested if the application cannot be finalised without them.
