Only subjects graded with 4 or higher are subject to be recognized by UIA. Since the examination procedures for FTA modules form an integral part of the course, it is not possible to obtain credit for these modules in any other way than by participating in the course. FTA modules may demand prerequisites that are not automatically fulfilled for every UiA student. It is the student's responsibility, when registering for an FTA course, to check that he or she satisfies the prerequisites. Download the original and certified documentation.
