Each module is followed by a test, which, if passed, allows access to the next module. Only after passing all the tests in succession does the student receive a certificate that allows them to sit the final exam.
The final exam consists of two online tests that are based on the contents of the two main modules of the course. Students must pass the basic module in order to be allowed access to the test related to the monographic module. The exam is passed only if both tests are sufficient.The overall maximum score for the exam is 30, which is the sum of the grades obtained in the two tests, and the results are communicated to the students immediately.
