Grading System
Transparency and excellence at the heart of assessment. This is the official grading framework used across all departments at ESTECH Hub. CI Africa Ltd.
Our Commitment to Academic Integrity
At ESTECH Hub. CI Africa Ltd, we believe that assessment should be fair, transparent, and reflective of real-world competence. Every grade issued is backed by verifiable data — weekly tests, practical projects, and a comprehensive final examination — all documented on official transcripts and certificates available for employer verification.
Letter Grade Scale
The standard 4.0 GPA scale used across all programs
The same letter-grade scale applies to weekly tests, project submissions, and the final exam — only the maximum raw score differs.
Three Pillars of Assessment
Every student is evaluated across three complementary dimensions
Weekly Session Tests
Each week, students complete a computer-based test covering the session's lecture material. A minimum score of 12/20 (60%) is required to pass and unlock the next week.
| Grade | Minimum Score | Score Range | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
A | 17 | 17 – 20 | 4.0 |
B | 15 | 15 – 16.99 | 3.0 |
C | 13 | 13 – 14.99 | 2.0 |
D | 12 | 12 – 12.99 | 1.0 |
F | 0 | 0 – 11.99 | 0.0 |
Weekly Project Submissions
After passing each weekly test, students submit a practical project (video or PDF). Projects are graded by AI with optional admin review, scored out of 100.
| Grade | Minimum Score | Score Range | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
A | 90 | 90 – 100 | 4.0 |
B | 80 | 80 – 89.99 | 3.0 |
C | 70 | 70 – 79.99 | 2.0 |
D | 60 | 60 – 69.99 | 1.0 |
F | 0 | 0 – 59.99 | 0.0 |
Final Examination
Upon completing all weekly modules, students sit a comprehensive 50-question final exam (2-hour time limit). A minimum of 30/50 (60%) is required to pass and graduate.
| Grade | Minimum Score | Score Range | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
A | 42 | 42 – 50 | 4.0 |
B | 36 | 36 – 41.99 | 3.0 |
C | 30 | 30 – 35.99 | 2.0 |
D | 24 | 24 – 29.99 | 1.0 |
F | 0 | 0 – 23.99 | 0.0 |
Cumulative GPA Calculation
Displayed on the official academic transcript
The Cumulative GPA is an unweighted average of all grade points earned across every assessment — weekly tests, project submissions, and the final exam. Each assessment contributes equally, regardless of its maximum raw score.
Worked Example
| Assessment | Score | Grade | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Week 1 — Test | 18/20 | A | 4.0 |
| Week 1 — Project | 92/100 | A | 4.0 |
| Week 2 — Test | 16/20 | B | 3.0 |
| Week 2 — Project | 85/100 | B | 3.0 |
| Week 3 — Test | 14/20 | C | 2.0 |
| Week 3 — Project | 76/100 | C | 2.0 |
| Final Exam | 38/50 | B | 3.0 |
Final Grade Calculation
Displayed on the official certificate
The Final Grade (out of 100) is calculated when a student passes the final exam and meets the weekly test requirement (minimum 7 passed tests). It combines the number of passed weekly tests with the final exam score.
