How do you prepare?
Preparation for the lessons and knowledge tests takes place via e-learnings on Toegankelijkleren.nl.

A set of short tests will test your knowledge level before the teacher puts everything into practice during the classroom meeting.

These assignments are part of the course. To receive a certificate of participation, the assignments must be made satisfactorily.
