Towards the end of the each course, when the students have acquired the appropriate skills and techniques, they will have the opportunity to complete a period of practical work experience the students involved in work experience will be constantly monitored by the teachers and co-ordinator of the course. During this period the student must produce a written report about the work experience, which will be presented at the final exam.
The practical work experience gives the students the opportunity to enter the world of work, to assess the skills they have acquired and to improve their practical abilities in real working conditions.
