Monitoring

All different tasks to be performed by the trainee will be taught as stand-alone learning blocks with specific objectives and outcomes. Each block is structured as follows: 1) theoretical considerations, methodology, professional ethics, 2) guided practice, 3) independent work, 4) feedback on the work produced, 5) reflection and reporting to the trainer. Every step of the training process is paced according to the skills and educational background of the trainee and is closely monitored to maximize the benefits for both the hosting company and the intern.
