1. The training booklet
2. An evaluation letter (written by you) to evaluate your training and the training site
3. The training certificate (can be sent by the employer to the department)

A)The ones taking only one course from Summer School can work 4 weekdays per week + Saturdays. The ones taking two courses can work 3 weekdays per week + Saturdays. If you are taking more than two courses then, your training cannot overlap the Summer School period.

Q) What are the

technics

A)First of all, you have to realize that you are writing a DIARY, not a summary of a book or manual, for the diary part of the training booklet. Therefore, in the diary you have to explain “WHAT YOU HAVE DONE”. Do NOT summarize a manual or a book for the diary part of your training booklet. You have to give such theoretical and practical aspects of the work done in the “GENERAL REPORT” part of the training booklet. Evaluation of the training in the “GENERAL REPORT” part is another common mistake. You have to write such an evaluation in the “LETTER of EVALUATION”. For other details you may refer to In-Service-Training By-Laws, which is the last page of the training booklets.

Q) How can I find a company for training?

A) The requests for trainee from industry are posted on the training board. Please check this board regularly. Moreover, you can search for other companies. A partial list of companies is available here. Of course, the companies that you can work as a trainee are not limited to those on the list.
