Evaluation method

The evaluation can be carried out continuously over the course through three theoretical / practical tests. If the student fails this evaluation model or decide to improve their score obtained can always turn to a final exam. All students are admitted to this final exam.

Continuous assessment comprises two tests (T1 and T2) and a mini-test (MT) and the approval is based on the following formula:

0.40 * T1 + 0.15 * MT + 0.45 * T2> = 9.5 where T1, T2 and MT range from 0 to 20.

T1 and T2 are scheduled for a specific date and time in order to meet all students at the same time.

MT takes place in the classroom during the practice session of each shift during the same week of the school year (to be selected).

If the student is not successful in this continuous assessment component to its final approval will depend only on a final exam worth between 0 and 20. The student is approved with a minimum grade of 9,5val Exam.
