Kontaktitunnit: PAKOLLISIA - paljon harjoittelua (mm. testaaminen, voimaharjoittelu, venytykset, asiakastilanteet)
Omatoiminen harjoittelu, yksin tai ryhmässä: VAPAAEHTOISTA, mutta SUOSITELTAVAA – valmistaa käytännön tenttiin, tenttimateriaalin opiskelu
Ryhmätehtävien tekeminen PAKOLLISTA. Jokaisen tulisi työskennellä tasapuolisesti
Arviointi: Materiaalitentti 50%, näyttökoe 50%, tuntiaktiivisuus voi vaikuttaa arvosanaan.
HUOM! Riittävä läsnäolo vaaditaan tenttioikeuteen
