The training activities are divided into two large blocks:
- Explanation of basic tools and procedures
Attendance to theoretical class
Individual control exercises
- Carrying out of practices
Assistance
Individual exercises
Group exercises
Both theoretical and practical classes are held in front of the computer. Students always have the presence of the teacher to make questions about the practice; they are also available outside of class hours to answer questions. School facilities are available outside of class hours, so students can use the computer equipment.
