Didactic-administrative issues

When are the exam sessions scheduled? Is it necessary to register for the exams?

Study mode

Is it necessary to buy textbooks as well? Is it possible to buy the books?

You don’t need to buy any other material. ABIVET provides students with all the material necessary for the study: handouts, slides and video pills.

How much could the commitment be in terms of hours?

A course of this type requires a commitment of many hours for the theory (study of what is presented in the lessons and exercises, insights, participation in the activities of the virtual class, interaction with teachers and tutors) and about 600 hours for the practical stages.

How long (on average) do you need to stay online?

A reasonable value is 3-4 hours per module per week, necessary for the consultation of the teaching materials and for the consultation of the Subject Forum.

Will I be isolated in my study path?

Paradoxically, a student enrolled in the course has a frequency of contacts with teachers and with the institution that is at least equal to a student who attends the course in person. This is possible thanks to the multiple tools of the IT platform, synchronous and asynchronous, individual or collective, which make it possible to identify different moments of contact and discussion between students and teachers, avoiding the risk of isolation, inherent in every Distance Learning model.

If you don't understand a topic, what can you do?

First of all, one addresses the subject tutor asking for explanations in the forum. For special cases it is also possible to contact the tutor personally via e-mail.

How do I know if I'm ready for the exam?

During the courses, the so-called “prove in itinere” are carried out and evaluated, which allow students to evaluate themselves and often serve as a starting point for the exam in question.

Technological aspects

What computer and internet skills do you need to have?

The starting skills are minimal: it is necessary to know how to use an Internet browser and be able to install the missing software necessary for the use of the course on your computer. You must be able to boot from a CD without difficulty, know how to use an e-mail program and be comfortable with common Office programs.
