	Verification of learning
	THE EXAM CONSIST OF AN ORAL INTERVIEW TO ASCERTAIN THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE FIVE PARTS OF THE PROGRAM. THE EXAM WILL NOT EXCEED THE MINIMUM REQUIRED IF THE CANDIDATE DOES NOT SHOW A SUFFICIENT LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE THEORETICAL AND CONCEPTUAL BASES (PART 1). THE QUESTIONS WILL COVER, ON ONE HAND, GENERAL AND CENTRAL TOPICS (MACRO-THEMES) ON THE OTHER HAND MORE SPECIFIC ARGUMENTS, TOOLS OR TECHNICAL PROCESSES (MICRO-THEMES). USING THE 30-POINT SCALE RANGE, THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS ON MACRO-THEMES WILL OBTAIN A DOUBLE SCORE. IN ADDITION TO THE PUNCTUALITY OF THE ANSWER - ABOUT THE SCALING - THE ARGUING WEALTH, THE LEVEL OF DEPTH, THE CRITICAL REFLECTION CAPACITY, THE INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN THE ISSUES AND THE EXPLICATION OF EXAMPLES, CASES OR DIRECT EXPERIENCES WILL BE POSITIVELY EVALUATED.
