Rule SAC044: EFTS value of qualifications - accelerated and compressed programmes

Type:

Rule or condition

The Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) will take a conservative approach to funding accelerated or compressed programmes of study. The convergence of all three methods of determining the Equivalent Full-Time Student (EFTS) value will be considered by the TEC when deciding on the appropriate EFTS value for funding purposes.

Note: Some tertiary education organisations allow learners to complete qualifications more quickly than normal. Where this approach is standard for learners in a qualification, the Tertiary Education Commission considers it an accelerated or compressed programme of study.
