General credit ratings

The Open University considers general credit rating applications from external bodies seeking recognition of their qualifications. These credit ratings are awarded on a points based system that recognises both the level and breadth of a qualification. The tariff used assumes that a full-time student at postgraduate level would receive 180 credit points in completing a Masters. The Open University has endorsed the quality, amount and level of learning involved with our professional qualifications and have given formal recognition that the Institute’s professional qualifications are postgraduate level qualifications with general credit ratings as shown below:
 
IIA Diploma in Internal Audit Practice - 60 points at postgraduate level
 
IIA Advanced Diploma in Internal Auditing and Management - 60 points at postgraduate level
 
IIA Qualification in Computer Auditing - 30 points at postgraduate level
