Attendance at seminars is compulsory (2 outs can apologize instructor). They write the three written tests - the sum of points of all tests must be at least 50% of the total achievable points from all tests. Not-flown test will be replaced by the agreed date. That exercise must be completed and all required programs eligible programs. The test is to test, numerical and oral. 30% of the points are generated from the evaluation exercise. The total number of points is 100, for the successful comple
