Questions before the programme
What the reference programme is designed to build.
Do I already need bevelling experience?
The programme welcomes committed beginners, career changers and professionals. The initial conversation helps set the right rhythm.
What does “progressive autonomy” mean?
Preparing, executing, observing and correcting with guidance that decreases as the criteria become more stable. The level reached remains individual.
Does the programme guarantee employment or a professional level?
The course builds a complete method and documents the level achieved. Final quality then develops through practice, consistency and experience after the programme.
