The final test will be organised with more than one candidate. All candidates will be assessed

individually by different assessors.

The assessment takes place on the basis of an assessment form with assessment criteria for each

part exam. Each criterion will be assessed with a pass or fail.

In order to pass the entire practical test, each exam part must be completed with a pass mark.

The assessors fill in an assessment form for each exam part. In case of a insufficient, the assessor

always gives an explanation.

If a test criterion is in bold, this means that it is a knockout criterion. These must in any case be

sufficient to pass a exam part.

At the end of the practical test, the assessment forms are collected and the assessors conclude

whether the candidate has passed or failed.

The candidate will receive a letter with the results and more information.
