This lesson is classified in modules, of two kinds: modules known as " transversaux" (the courses are distributed over the 3 years) and the modules " spécifiques" (specific to one year). There is no of precise nature, it depends on the choice of the IFSI.

The studies are sanctioned by partial every six-month period or uninterrupted according to the institutes. However, it is true for all the institutes which a note lower than 8 is eliminatory and which it is not possible to compensate more than 2 notes ranging between 8 and 10.
