Implementation methods, demonstration and Work&Study

Teaching and learning methods

The studies consist of classroom teaching (48h) and the student's independent study (87h).

Recognition of prior learning (RPL)

Accreditation of prior learning is a process whereby, through assessment, credit is given to learning which has already been acquired in different ways, e.g. earlier studies or working experience. APL gives a student an opportunity to demonstrate his/her knowledge and skills. A student displays with the competence demonstration that s/he manages the course objectives and contents mentioned in the course description. It is possible to participate in the competence demonstration only once before taking the course. A competence demonstration is assessed on the scale from 1 to 5.
