Translation exam in the working conditions of a professional translator's workstation. The overall evaluation may also cover specific parts of the student's work accomplished during the workshop (for more details, please refer to the terms and specifications of each of the three workshops).
Each specialized translation workshop is worth one third of the final evaluation of the training un
When two parts of the Specialised Translation Workshops are failures, the EU will not be validated, regardless of the overall result obtained.
If, despite an overall result equal or superior to 10, the student has two failures, the final overall result will be calculated by averaging the two failures, and the failed parts will have to be retaken during the August session.
In case of global failure, the failed part(s) will be retaken.
If the EU is not validated at the end of a year, all the fields (legal, economic, scientific and technical) must be presented the following year.
