Your own subject
You will do a research project adapted to your interests, combining your idea with the experience and tutoring of the teaching team.
Entrepreneurial project
You will develop a business project in a team, where you will define the strategies and actions necessary to launch it on the market.
Networking with companies, organizations and institutions

Assessment
CETT prefers face-to-face classes and continuous assessment because it develops a didactic methodology, which is based on one hand on challenge-based learning, and on the other hand, on the development of entrepreneurial projects.
You can choose between two different types of assessment:
Continuous assessment
It consists of assessing the work and the acquisition of competences and skills carried out by the students throughout the course.
Single assessment
In special circumstances, students who, for justified reasons, are unable to attend classes regularly, may opt for this other type of assessment, consisting of a single semester assessment test.
