Techning methods include lectures and practical laboratories. Course is taking advantage of e-learning (Moodle) system.

At the end of each laboratory exercise the teacher checks the results of the given assignment and awards points. Experience gained in Asterisk Open Source PBX configuration is verified by the individual project. The points awarded for laboratory exercises (a maximum of 35 points in a semester) go to the evaluation of the examination and thus also to the assessment. The exam is written. The maximum number of points is 65. The overall evaluation is the sum of points for laboratory exercises and the written exam. The minimum required value is 50 points; the maximum value is 100 points.
