The training has a 100% attendance requirement. For 1 missed lesson, you must do a substitute assignment. You cannot miss the first and last lesson. During the training you will give a presentation, do exercises from the book, and write a final report. The training course is part of electives and is worth 2 study credits.
The first step before registering is to get an intake interview with a counsellor. The counsellor will make sure you really experience fear of failure or if perhaps other factors are the problem, such as deficiencies or psychological complaints.
