Course of study load (E350) is the aggregated EFTSL value for a course of study, summed across all the units of study a student must complete to meet the academic requirements for the course of study. For example, where the total load for a standard study program is equal to three academic years full-time study, the Course of study load will be 3.0.

VET

Course of study load (E350) is the aggregated EFTSL value for a VET course. This is calculated by adding the Equivalent full-time student load (E339) value of all the units of study a student must complete to meet the academic requirements of the course. For example, where the total load for a standard study program is equal to two academic years full-time study, the Course of study load will be 2.0.
