Rule SAC056: EFTS value of courses - calculation method

Type:

Rule or condition

When tertiary education organisations calculate the Equivalent Full-Time Student (EFTS) factors of courses, they must:

• Express the EFTS factors as numbers with four decimal places
  Example 0.1250 or 0.6667
• Use the same measuring tools they used to determine the EFTS value of the qualification
• Ensure the sum of the EFTS factors for the courses in the longest strand (if more than one strand) required for the qualification equals the EFTS value for that qualification.
