Eligibility for exams

The student should obtain a minimal classification of 7,5 val. in each theoretical and practical components and obtain a final average of both components of at least 10 val.

Calculation formula of final grade

The final classification will be obtained by the following formula:

45% of the classification of the written test + 45% of the classification of the practical evaluation + 10% of the assiduity.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

50% theoretical + 50% practical

Classification improvement

50% theoretical + 50% practical
