The skills blocks of the certification may not be acquired separately. The proposed curriculum covers all skills blocks.
The programme is recognised through a dual validation:

At the end of the programme and after a validation of ECTS credits per programme year, the level 7 of TEMA (Tech & Management) is awarded to participants.
If some modules were not validated and thus no credits were earned, the programme participant can redo the evaluation during a period set up for this purpose.
