Rule SAC039: EFTS value of qualifications - full-time teaching or tuition weeks calculation

Type:

Rule or condition

To calculate the Equivalent Full-Time Student (EFTS) value based on the standard full-time equivalent teaching weeks (34) of learning, a tertiary education organisation must determine the length of the qualification in weeks and then do one of the following:

• Divide this number by 34
• Multiply this number by 0.03.

Example:

The following is an example only and is not part of the Rule:

If the qualification has a length of 17 weeks, a TEO must do one of the following:

• Divide 17 by 34 to give an EFTS value of 17/34 = 0.5
• Multiply 17 by 0.03 to give an EFTS value of 17 x 0.03 = 0.51.
