    • Simple applications to know if the participant has grasped the given notions;

    • Real projects (where the trainer was involved in the design/validation) to stimulate interest and improve the retention of the information transmitted;

    • Questions/discussions to ensure that the participant has found answers to their concerns and also learned the right approach for their future design projects. There is no passing grade. But, we must make sure that each participant is satisfied and has found all the answers to his questions;

    • A certificate of participation is granted once the participant has attended all the training and has been satisfied (according to his satisfaction form).
