Academic Documents

At IIPS, successful completion of your programme is supported by a complete set of final academic documents. These documents are designed to reflect your academic achievement, programme details, final results and professional competencies.

Our aim is to provide students with clear, well-structured documentation that can support their professional profile, career development and international presentation.

International Diploma

The International Diploma issued by Masstercursos & International Institute of Professional Studies represents the successful completion of an advanced online academic programme designed for international students and professionals.

This diploma certifies that the student has completed a structured programme through an online methodology, with a total duration of 1,600 instructional hours. It reflects the student’s academic achievement, final grade and completion of the required learning pathway.

The diploma is issued jointly by Masstercursos and the International Institute of Professional Studies (IIPS), and includes the institutional endorsement of EADL, the European Association for Distance Learning, and CECAP, the Spanish Confederation of Training Companies.

This document has been designed with a professional and institutional format, allowing students to present their training in a clear, elegant and internationally oriented way. It is especially valuable for professionals who want to strengthen their academic profile, demonstrate specialised training and support their career development with formal documentation.

Upon successful completion of the programme, students receive their diploma together with complementary academic documentation, providing a complete record of their studies, learning outcomes and professional development.

Academic Transcript

The Academic Transcript is an official academic record issued by the International Institute of Professional Studies (IIPS) as part of the student’s final documentation after successful completion of the programme.

This document provides a detailed overview of the student’s academic pathway, including the programme completed, total teaching hours, study period, final grade, academic performance and the professional modules assessed throughout the programme.

Unlike a general certificate, the Academic Transcript offers a structured record of the student’s learning experience. It includes the academic modules studied, the workload assigned to each module, the grades obtained and the final academic result, allowing the student to present a clear and organised summary of their achievement.

With a total duration of 1,600 teaching hours, the transcript reflects the academic scope and depth of the programme. It is especially valuable for students and professionals who want to demonstrate not only that they completed the programme, but also the subjects studied, the level of performance achieved and the competencies developed during their training.

The Academic Transcript complements the International Diploma by providing additional academic detail and supporting evidence of the student’s progress, final evaluation and successful completion. Together, these documents help students present their training in a more complete, professional and internationally oriented way.

Letter of Recommendation

The Letter of Recommendation is a personalised academic document designed to support the student’s professional and academic presentation after successful completion of the programme.

This letter provides an institutional recommendation based on the student’s performance, commitment and demonstrated abilities throughout the programme. It highlights the student’s academic achievement, learning attitude, analytical skills, professional behaviour and potential for future development.

Unlike a standard certificate, the Letter of Recommendation adds a more personal and qualitative dimension to the student’s final documentation. It recognises not only the completion of the programme, but also the student’s ability to acquire knowledge, apply it in practical contexts, work effectively and demonstrate motivation, organisation and leadership qualities.

This document can be especially valuable for students who want to strengthen their professional profile, support applications, present their academic background more effectively or demonstrate their commitment to continuous learning and career development.

Issued by IIPS as part of the final academic documentation, the Letter of Recommendation complements the International Diploma, Academic Transcript and Professional Competency Report, helping students present a more complete, credible and professionally oriented academic profile.

Professional Competency & Employability Profile

The Professional Competency & Employability Profile is an additional final document designed to highlight the student’s professional skills, applied knowledge and career-oriented competencies developed throughout the programme.

This report provides a practical overview of the student’s professional profile after successful completion of the programme. It recognises not only academic achievement, but also the student’s ability to understand specialised knowledge, apply it to professional contexts and demonstrate key transferable skills valued in today’s labour market.

The document highlights competencies such as analytical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, professional autonomy, strategic reasoning, adaptability, organisation and the practical application of knowledge. These elements help present the student’s learning experience from a professional and employability-focused perspective.

Unlike the Academic Transcript, which records modules, hours and grades, the Professional Competency & Employability Profile focuses on the skills and abilities demonstrated during the programme. It helps students communicate their training in a more practical way, especially when presenting their profile for career development, professional opportunities or international applications.

Issued by IIPS, this report complements the International Diploma, Academic Transcript and Letter of Recommendation, offering a broader view of the student’s academic achievement, professional preparation and potential contribution to contemporary working environments.

Optional Apostille or Notarial Legalisation

Students who wish to add an additional level of formal validation to their final academic documentation may request an optional Hague Apostille or notarial legalisation, depending on the country where the documents are intended to be used.

This optional service is designed for students who want to present their academic documents with a higher level of international formality. It may be especially useful when documents need to be submitted abroad, presented to institutions, included in professional applications, attached to administrative procedures or used as part of an international academic or career profile.

The Hague Apostille is an international certification that verifies the authenticity of the signature, seal or official capacity attached to a document. For countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention, this can help simplify the presentation of documents abroad and provide an additional layer of confidence when submitting academic documentation internationally.

In cases where the Hague Apostille is not applicable, students may request notarial legalisation as an alternative formalisation process. This can help provide additional documentary assurance and reinforce the professional presentation of the student’s final academic documents.

Requesting apostilled or legalised documentation can offer important benefits:

Greater international presentation: Students can present their documents with an additional formal certification process, which may be useful when dealing with institutions, companies or organisations outside their country of residence.
Enhanced documentary credibility: The apostille or legalisation helps verify the formal origin of the document, adding an extra level of confidence for third parties reviewing the student’s academic documentation.
Useful for international procedures: Students who plan to use their documents abroad may benefit from having them apostilled or legally formalised before presenting them to external organisations.
Professional added value: Apostilled or legalised documents can help students present a more complete, serious and internationally oriented academic profile.

This service is optional and may involve additional processing time and administrative fees. Requirements can vary depending on the country, institution or authority where the documents will be presented. Students who need their documents for a specific official, academic or professional purpose should always check the requirements of the receiving organisation before requesting the service.
