This should be done before the due time of arrival at the centre, or as soon thereafter as possible.The student may be required to make up any observations or other set tasks by a further visit to the centre in his/her own time.In a 2 week professional practice, make up time will be required for more than 1 day absent.
Class evaluation will occur either part way through the course or on completion of the course.
