Theory: 3 written examinations are proposed in the first semester and in the eamination periods of January and June. In case of failure, an oral examination is mandatory in June.
Success is conditionned by the success in both exams (theory and practical). In case of failure, partial exemption (theory or practical) coud be given.
In September, a written examination only is proposed. |
