Where this takes you

Each programme opens onto named occupations, with the level of responsibility that goes with them. They come from the official catalogue on file: 72 qualifications, 72 occupations, published with their credits and hours.

The trajectory, in full

A long-form programme is judged on what its final semester opens. Here is the whole path: the years, the credits accumulating, and the award at the end. A validated year is worth 60 credits, and one credit represents twenty-five hours of work — 10 supervised, 15 personal. That is the official catalogue rule, applied to every programme without exception.

Bachelor's degree

3-year trajectory. 180 credits over 3 years: 1 800 supervised hours and 2 700 hours of personal work.

Four levels, four responsibilities

A qualification level describes what its holder is deemed able to handle unaided: to execute with method, to lead a team, to run a function, to arbitrate a strategy. Here, for each, is an occupation actually present in the catalogue, with its volume and duration.

Level 4 — Health, Safety and Environment Officer

Prepares for work as a site HSE officer. 60 credits, 600 supervised hours, 9 months.

Level 5 — Web and Mobile Developer

Prepares for work as a junior to experienced developer. 80 credits, 800 supervised hours, 12 months.

Level 6 — Site HSE Manager

Prepares for work as a HSE manager — mining, energy, construction. 80 credits, 800 supervised hours, 12 months.

Level 7 — Industrial Risk and HSE Director

Prepares for work as a group or multi-site HSE director. 70 credits, 700 supervised hours, 9 months.

What each level totals

Together the four levels cover 72 qualifications and 49 750 supervised hours. The table gives, for each, the number of qualifications open, the responsibility targeted, the duration range and the cumulative hours. These are the figures from the document filed with the ministry, recomputed every time the site is built.

What we commit to

Our commitments

  • Naming the occupations each programme prepares for, exactly as the catalogue names them
  • Publishing real hours and every competency block assessed
  • Opening your competency record to any outside verification
  • Supporting you in presenting your work and your project
  • Keeping programme content aligned with practice in the field

What belongs to you

  • The post you aim for, and the employer you aim for it with
  • The pay negotiation, backed by the work you have produced
  • The pace of your own progression, year after year
  • How you tell the story of your path at interview
  • The choice to start a company rather than join an organisation

What you will be able to show

On leaving, you present a competency record anyone can open and verify. It carries the exact title of your award, its level of responsibility, every competency block assessed, supervised hours, and the conditions under which you sat your assessments. A recruiter reaches it with no account and no phone call. That document is what opens doors, and we build it with you from your first year.

Questions about the destination

How do I know which occupation a programme prepares for?

Every programme page carries its outcomes, and the professional qualifications catalogue names the occupation targeted by each of the 72 awards. The two overlap by design: it is the same family of competencies described from the programme side and from the job side.

Does a higher level assume experience?

At levels 6 and 7, yes: those awards describe responsibilities that are exercised, and professional experience is part of entry. At levels 4 and 5, the programme runs from your school qualification, and experience gathered along the way strengthens the record.

Is the award readable outside Guinea?

It carries the markers any equivalence service recomputes: credits, supervised hours, competency blocks, duration. 4 975 credits and 49 750 hours are published for the whole catalogue, and the descriptive supplement details your path unit by unit.
