Validation   criteria  procedures 
There is formative and determinative assessment. Formative assessment may be conducted using both scoring and counting principles. Determinative evaluation provides for the use of a system based only on the principles of inclusion (based on the confirmation of competences) and allows the following two types of evaluation: 

a) the learning outcome has been confirmed; 

b) The learning outcome could not be confirmed. 

In case of receiving a negative result during the assessment, the student has the right to request an additional assessment of the achievement of learning outcomes before the end of the program.
