The ITS MAKER Academy diploma is recognised at national and European level as an EQF Level 5 qualification and awards the title of “Higher Technician”.
The diploma
At the end of the two-year programme, students take a State-regulated examination (Prime Ministerial Decree of 25 January 2008 and Interministerial Decree of 7 September 2011), managed by a Board specifically appointed to assess ITS specialisation programmes, chaired by a university professor and composed of representatives from upper secondary schools and other experts.
Graduates are awarded the “Higher Technician” diploma (with different specialisation tracks), which corresponds to Level 5 of the European Qualifications Framework.
European Qualifications Framework – Level 5 diploma
The EQF Level 5 qualification is higher than an upper secondary school diploma (Level 4) and in many European countries corresponds to the first level of higher education. It is recognised throughout Europe.
Together with the diploma issued by the Ministry of Education, students also receive a document called the EUROPASS SUPPLEMENT, which summarises each learner’s assessment in the main modules of the course. The document is issued in both Italian and English.
