The three-letter code is the Ministry's own, from the national Higher National Diploma register, and a diploma is issued in that name. A focus area is a subject taught inside a specialty; no diploma is issued in its name.
What is authorized today
BOLO IT holds a provisional authorization for one Higher National Diploma field, Computer Engineering, covering five specialties. Everything else in this chart is the structure the institution is building towards and has submitted for the Ministry's agreement. Neither of BOLO IT's two letters accredits the institute; both are provisional and are to be regularised by arrêté.
