Attendance
Mandatory with a maximum of 30% absence. Both for theory and practice.Type of evaluation
The exam is held in two sessions: one practical as an intermediate test with a grade assigned by the teacher in charge and the other theoretical. After passing the second, the grade is given, assessed by the teacher in charge and composed of the average of the two tests weighted according to the specific credits.
