- participation in the final examination (further information on disability-friendly exams)
You will receive your certificate on the last day of the course.
Successful completion of the final examination will result in the participant being awarded 4 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) points.
The relevant study program of your university will have the ultimate decision regarding recognition of our certificates.
Your teacher will inform you in time about the date of the final exam.
If you are unable to come to this date, forgo taking the exam or fail the exam, you will not receive any ECTS points.
Nevertheless, participants who fulfill the minimum attendance requirement of 75% may receive an attendance confirmation letter at the end of the course.
