This represents a single credit at Postgraduate Level. While 6-day and 7-day courses also lead to a Diploma – Postgraduate, they accumulate 36 and 42 Credit Hours, respectively. Delegates and students who fail to gain the required level of pass, at Postgraduate Level will receive a Certificate of Attendance and Participation. The Certificate of Attendance and Participation will not count, for cumulative purpose, towards the Postgraduate Diploma. Courses carry varying credit values; some being double credit, triple credit, quad credit and 5-credit, etc. These, therefore, accumulate to a Postgraduate Diploma. As is explained, later, in this document, a Postgraduate Diploma is awarded to students and delegates who have achieved the minimum of 360 Credit Hours, within the required level of attainment. Credit Value and Credit Hours examples of Diploma – Postgraduate Courses are as follows: CCrreeddiitt VVaalluuee CCrreeddiitt H Hoouurrss Single-Credit 30-36 Double-Credit 60-72 Triple-Credit 90-108 Quad-Credit 120-144 10-Credit (X36 Credit-Hours) to 12Credit (X30 Credit-Hours) 360 Other Credit Values are calculated proportionately.

These assessment formats include, but not limited to, in-class tests, assignments, end of course examinations. Based on these assessments, successful candidates will receive the Diploma – Postgraduate, or Postgraduate Diploma, as appropriate. In the case of Diploma – Postgraduate, a minimum of 70% overall pass is expected. In order to receive the Award of Postgraduate Diploma, candidate must have accumulated at least the required minimum ‘credit-hours’, with a pass (of 70% and above) in at least 70% of the courses taken. Delegates and students who fail to achieve the requirement for Postgraduate Diploma, or Diploma - Postgraduate - will be given support for 2 re-submissions for each course. Those delegates who fail to achieve the assessment requirement for the Postgraduate Diploma or Diploma - Postgraduate - on 2 resubmissions, or those who elect not to receive them, will be awarded the Certificate of Attendance and Participation.

In this regard, it is important to note that short courses vary in length, P. 13 Financial_Risk_Management_Market_Dynamics_Currency_Derivatives_Market_Asset_Behaviour_Pricing_Implications_Equity_Market_Risk_Assessment_Interpreting_Statistical_Data_P ESTEL_Counter_Party_Risk_Risk_Mitigation_Hedging_Risk_Financial_Derivitaves_World_Bank_Currency_Risks_SWAPS_Asset_Behaviour_Currency_Speciulation_Selling Financial Risk Management, Global Financial Markets, Banks Liquidity Risk and Financial Market Control Mechanism, -Diploma– Postgraduate (Double Credit), Accumulating to Postgraduate Diploma, Progressing to a Masters Degree - MA, MBA, MSc the minimum being 5 days (Diploma – Postgraduate) – equivalent to 30 Credit Hours, representing one credit. Twelve 5-day short courses, representing twelve credits or the equivalent of 360 Credit Hours are, therefore, required for the Award of Postgraduate Diploma. A six-day course (Diploma – Postgraduate) is, therefore, equivalent to 36 hours Credit Hours, representing one credit. Therefore, ten short courses, of this duration, equates to the required 360 Credit Hours, qualifying for the Award of Postgraduate Diploma. While double-credit courses last between ten and fourteen days, triple-credit courses range from fifteen to nineteen days. Similarly, quad-credit courses are from sixteen to nineteen days. On this basis, the definitive calculation on the Award requirement is based on the number of hours studied (aggregate credit-value), rather than merely the number of credits achieved. This approach is particularly useful when a student or delegate studies a mixture of courses of different credit-values. For those delegates choosing the accumulative route, it is advisable that at least two credits be attempted per year. This will ensure that the required number of credit hours for the Postgraduate diploma is achieved within the six-year time frame.
