Preparation
You will prepare by going over the 'manual for boards of examiners' and completing checklists and quizzes. This will take ~ 3 hours.

Learning activities
During the course, participants apply the content of the previously mentioned documents on real-life cases and discuss questions and own cases.

Language
Some trainings are in Dutch, and others in English.

Study load 
The study load is 8 hours: 3 hours homework + 5 hours training session

Certificate of Completion
After completing the training and homework, we will provide you with a certificate of attendance that demonstrates that:

• you completed the homework (4 quizzes plus reading)
• you attended the entire training session

The certificate is important for both your Board of Examiners and your dean, because the number of people who completed the training can be seen as a measure of professionalisation of the board of examiners.
