Ahot practices:
The Ahot process is twofold. The first stage involves a written knowledge test. The second stage of the assessment is carried out as a simulation display.
Competence demonstrations are held once per semester and are planned to be completed before the job application opens.
The demonstrations utilize uniformly agreed knowledge tests and case studies. It's beneficial for the workgroup to have access to various cases in a simulation bank, from which each demonstrator can select different displays for different situations.
