A Mandatory Module is a module that a student must take on their chosen course. An Elective Module means a module chosen by a student from among the list given by the college, to complete in addition to the mandatory modules.
120 Credits are needed to achieve a QQI Major Award and QQI modules are 15 credits each. That means that completing 8 modules = 120 credits.
Minor QQI Awards are also commonly referred to as “component certificates”. These awards are single modules which can be completed and certificated individually. 8 Minor Awards are required to complete a QQI level 5 Major Award.
