Explanatory Guide to the Coding System

Explanatory Guide to the Coding System Adopted by Midmak International Academy

As part of its commitment to applying a standardized and systematic framework for the classification of educational and professional programs, Midmak International Academy – Syria & Australia has adopted a unified coding system that organizes training pathways and specialized fields across various sectors. This system is based on a clear conceptual distinction between the terms “Track” and “Pathway” as outlined below:

First: Track

A Track refers to the general academic or professional domain that serves as a primary framework encompassing a set of specialized sub-pathways.

It is translated as: Track, and is coded using a two-letter abbreviation in the official coding structure.

Track (Arabic) English Translation Code

المساق الطبي

Medical Track

ME

المساق الصحي

Health Track

HL

المساق الصيدلاني

Pharmacy Track

PH

المساق الهندسي

Engineering Track

EN

المساق القانوني

Legal Track

LG

Second: Pathway

A Pathway represents a specialized or skills-based subdomain within a broader Track.
It is translated as: Pathway, and is coded using a three-part format consisting of:

[Track Code] – [Pathway Code] – [Unique Serial Number]

Pathway (Arabic) English Translation Code

مسار الليزر التجميلي

Aesthetic Laser Pathway

HL-LS-01

مسار السلامة المهنية

Occupational Safety Pathway

HL-SF-02

مسار التصميم الهيكلي

Structural Design Pathway

EN-SD-01

مسار الذكاء الاصطناعي

Artificial Intelligence Pathway

EN-AI-01

مسار القانون الدولي

International Law Pathway

LG-IL-01

Third: Coding Structure

The coding system used by Midmak International Academy follows a methodical sequence composed of four core segments:

[Track Code] – [Pathway Code] – [Sector Number] – [Unit or Pathway Number]

Example: PH-C-01-01
This denotes:

  • )PH( = Pharmacy Track
  • )C( = Pathway Code (Core Skills)
  • )01( = Sector Number
  • )01( = Unit Number within the pathway

Fourth: Objectives of the Coding System

  1. To facilitate the classification and design of training and academic programs based on clear and integrated standards, enabling an organized and traceable training structure.
  2. To align with international frameworks and quality systems, such as ISO 21001 (Educational Organizations Management Systems), the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), and Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET), thereby enhancing reliability and accreditation.
  3. To enable precise tracking and data management for training portfolios, certificates, and granted qualifications, supporting archiving, monitoring, and administrative follow-up.
  4. To ensure consistency across all academy sectors, creating unified methodologies between Tracks and Pathways and reinforcing the structural integration of programs.
  5. To streamline local and international documentation and accreditation processes, by linking each program or certificate to its unique official code, thereby boosting institutional and academic recognition worldwide.
  6. To provide a scalable and expandable framework, allowing the addition of new pathways or training units within the same system without disruption or reclassification.

Note:

This coding system is officially adopted in all program documents, certificates, brochures, and classifications issued by Midmak International Academy – Syria & Australia, and is attached to each diploma or certificate to ensure traceability and institutional integrity.
