Lessons in classroom

The examination contains three exercises to carry out and solve with all the details, and nine true/false questions, with justified choices, on general theory topics. During the oral part of the exam, the remain theoretical skills will be verified.

Classes will be held in person and attendance is highly recommended. Depending on the time available, classes will be organized with individually supervised exercises.
