At the end of each period (December, March and May):

  • Continuous assessment of learners by teachers, feedback on attendance during the period;
  • Oral presentations of continuous and end-of-period evaluations with the learner
  • Exam scenarios with restitution of personal and/or group variations, evaluation and feedback from the teaching team present. Learner self-assessment based on video recordings of their performance.
  • Proposal for areas of progress.
