In intermediate stages of formation these tutorings are essentially aimed at:

High-performing academic and clear professional vocations.

Lumnes with difficulty pursuing studies due to economic, labor or disease situations.

Lims that require advice on academic and administrative formalities that occur throughout the course of training.

The coordinator of each course is also the individual tutor of the corresponding students. In special cases other tutors can be designated depending on the case.

In this case, it will be addressed to the teacher who is required to become suitable according to the initial query given to the chief of studies.
