PEDAGOGY
Our pedagogy is characterized by a regular follow-up of the students. Pre-apprenticeship classes are practice-oriented. The goal for the student is to become quickly operational.
Theory and exercises are taught in class and supplemented by homework. Homework correction, revisions and a progress check are put in place to evaluate the student. Regular written assignments require the student to study and keep abreast of program progress. In addition, revision tests are organized at the end of each term to validate the student’s learning.
