Continuous evaluation:

• practical assessment (AP) - 33%

AP grade = 50% (written test) + 25% (practical exam) + 25% (practical work)

• theoretical assessment (TA) - 67%

AT grade = 50% (written test) + 50% (individual work)

Final grade = 33% x AP grade + 67% x AT grade

Exam:

• practical assessment (AP) - 33%
