Page 3 of 5 Any student who fails the placement aspect of a course will be offered one (1) new opportunity within the framework of the course. If a student quits the clinical training placement early on his/her own initiative, the student will fail the course. In such cases, the student is offered a new clinical training session the next time the course is offered, provided that he/she has not already reached the maximum number of examination opportunities (maximum 2). If an examiner determines that a decision regarding a grade is obviously incorrect because new circumstances have come to light or for any other reason, the decision shall be changed provided it does not lower the grade. The examiner can stop a student's clinical training or the like with immediate effect if the student demonstrates such serious inadequacies in knowledge, skills or approach that patient safety or patient confidence in the healthcare system is jeopardised. If clinical training is stopped in such a manner, it means that the student has failed the element in question and one clinical training opportunity is used up. In such cases, an individual action plan is drafted, indicating which activities and knowledge checks are required before the student is given a new clinical training opportunity for the course in question.
