All these skills are sought after by businesses as the economy undergoes digitisation.
TEMA was created as a pioneering programme in 1999, and for over 20 years it has built up its experience around two fundamental ideas:

Evaluation procedures
The programme is recognised through a dual validation:
- Ongoing assessment: evaluations conducted throughout the length of the programme in the form of individual or collective reports to be submitted,
A final evaluation: performed at the end of the course, it can be done under different forms – it is, for the most part, individual
At the end of the programme and after a validation of ECTS credits per programme year, the level 7 of TEMA (Tech & Management) is awarded to participants.
If some modules were not validated and thus no credits were earned, the programme participant can redo the evaluation during a period set up for this purpose.
