1. The training program is built on a credit basis, structured from courses or modules (collectively referred to as courses), which must include mandatory courses and meet the current Ministry of Education and Training’s program standards. In the case of dual majors or major-minor disciplines, the training program must clearly show the shared and separate study loads for each discipline.

2. The content and outcomes of the training program apply uniformly across different training forms, methods, and learner categories. For graduates of different degrees or majors, the actual study load is determined based on the recognition or transfer of accumulated credits and exemptions within the training program.

3. The training program must be publicly disclosed to learners before admission and at the beginning of the course; any changes or adjustments related to the training program must follow current regulations and be announced before implementation, without negatively impacting students.

4. For each training form, the training program must provide a standard overall study plan to guide students.

a) The duration according to the standard overall study plan for full-time study must align with the duration specified in the National Education System Structure Framework and ensure that the majority of students complete the program;

b) The duration according to the standard overall study plan for part-time study must be at least 20% longer than that of the corresponding full-time program.

5. The maximum time for students to complete the course is regulated in the training institution’s regulations but does not exceed twice the duration according to the standard overall study plan for each training form. For students in bridge programs who have been exempted from accumulated credits, the maximum time to complete the course is determined based on the reduced duration corresponding to the exempted study load.
