Practice. Practices are mandatory and consist of 4 validations practices and the development of a job.

     Validation Practices: 5 points.
         Validation 1: 0.5 points
         Validation 2: 2 points
         Validation 3: 2 points
         Validation 4: 0.5 points

     Working practices: 1 point

Theory

     Theory exam: 4 points

Other considerations:

     In the practice session validation is only allowed to take the DLX instruction set simulator and the paper manual.
     The assessment of practical recognition occurs when the student, at least, has presented two validation practices.
     Work practices may be delivered in the ordinary examination or resit.
     In the theory test examination of the theoretical contents (4 points total) will be made and must be at least (1.2 points) in order to pass the course.
