• Participants’ confidentiality will be guaranteed by signing a confidentiality agreement upon registration.
• Students will perform a final test on the theoretical and practical concepts acquired.
• Activities will be classified on a scale from 0 to 20 values, with the final grade being the arithmetic average of the theoretical component and the practical component in equal parts
