Learning which occurs face-to-face and in person. Lecturer/s and students are both present in an allocated time and place where a formation session, usually in the form of a lecture, is delivered. For valid reasons, students may be given an exemption (in writing) to follow courses delivered in this mode, synchronously.

Such exemption is at the discretion of the Institute and may be granted for parts of the programme or for its entirety. Such exemption is also always given in writing and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Such option is also subject to the equipment available in the lecture room and if the programme is not designed for such a mode, the Institute will not be held responsible for the quality of the connection.
