Assessment & Attendance
Attendance and accurate assessment are extremely important to all IALF programs. Completing a course successfully means that students attend and participate fully and pro-actively in all classroom activities, tasks and tests, and that they take full responsibility for their own learning outside the classroom (homework, assigned projects, and additional self-study).

Students must achieve an overall 'final score' of 60% or above, and meet the attendance criteria, in order to continue to the next level of study.
