French term

crédit ouvert

French to English Bus/Financial Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs Degree transcript
This is the title of a column for an engineering course at ECAM-EPMI. The next (and final) column reads "Credit obtenu". I have never seen this before. This would be "??? credits" and Ii guess the final column would be "credits gained".
So what is "??? credtis" ?

Thanks.

@ Thomas Thanks - forgot to say, the credits appearing in both columns are identical right through the transcript.
Could they mean "Max credits "?

" In determining the maximum credits available for RPL for any award within the FHEQ, the University has sought to balance the recognition of prior learning with a desire to ensure that conferred awards reflect sufficient evidence of study having been undertaken within the institution. […] Any credits gained via RPL will not be graded for the University of Greenwich award unless it has been recognised as a result of a Faculty’s external Credit-Rating activity or where there is an agreement with another Higher Education Provider to recognise such transfer of grades."

(Max) credits

I would not bother translating "ouvert" as it just means credits available for that module so usually just the one word "Credits" in English

Other column "credits awarded" or earned
