Scheduled live online sessions take place throughout each module to review the proposed practical work and discuss solutions when machines are operating outside the required parameters.
Attendance at these sessions is mandatory.
Assessment: Successful completion of the assigned work is required to obtain the program certificate. Participation in the live sessions with the instructor will also be taken into account.
