Условия и порядок проведения итоговой аттестации При проведении текущей и итоговой аттестации критериями оценки служат объем, полнота, системность и обобщенность усвоенных общеобразовательных, общенаучных и профессиональных знаний, умений и навыков.Итоговая аттестация проводится в целях определения соответствия компетентности выпускника требованиям образовательного стандарта специальности и служит основанием для присвоения ему квалификации.Итоговая аттестация осуществляется государственной квалификационной комиссией.Государственная квалификационная комиссия создается во всех типах учреждений, обеспечивающих получение среднего специального образования и прошедших аккредитацию, независимо от их подчиненности и формы собственности.Государственная квалификационная комиссия создается по каждой специальности и, как правило, является единой для всех форм обучения. В зависимости от числа выпускников по одной специальности могут создаваться несколько комиссий или одна объединенная для родственных специальностей.Государственная квалификационная комиссия работает в сроки, определенные учебным планом специальности. График работы согласовывается с председателем, утверждается руководителем учреждения, обеспечивающего получение среднего специального образования, и доводится до сведения учащихся не позднее, чем за две недели до начала итоговой аттестации.Время работы государственной квалификационной комиссии рассчитывается исходя из установленных для каждого вида итоговой аттестации норм времени и числа учащихся, участвующих в итоговой аттестации. При этом продолжительность работы комиссии в день не должна превышать семи астрономических часов. При необходимости группа делится на подгруппы.Председателями государственной квалификационной комиссии, по предложению руководителя учреждения, обеспечивающего получение среднего специального образования, могут назначаться руководители и высококвалифицированные специалисты отраслевых министерств и других органов управления отраслями, организаций, педагогические работники высших учебных заведений, не работающие в данном учреждении образования, в том числе на условиях штатного совместительства или почасовой оплаты труда. Председатель государственной квалификационной комиссии утверждается Министерством образования Республики Беларусь или иным органом управления, в подчинении которого находится учреждение, обеспечивающее получение среднего специального образования. Заместителем председателя государственной квалификационной комиссии назначается руководитель учреждения, обеспечивающего получение среднего специального образования, или его заместитель.В состав государственной квалификационной комиссии на правах ее членов (4 или 6 человек) могут входить: руководитель учреждения, обеспечивающего получение среднего специального образования, или его заместитель (если они не назначены заместителем председателя), а также заведующий отделением, председатели предметных (цикловых) комиссий, преподаватели специальных дисциплин.

Ему выдается справка установленного образца.Повторная итоговая аттестация разрешается один раз в течение трех лет с момента окончания учащимся полного курса обучения, но не ранее чем через 10 месяцев. Повторно сдаются государственные экзамены только по тем дисциплинам, по которым была получена неудовлетворительная оценка. Наименование и объем этих дисциплин определяется учебным планом специальности, действовавшим в год окончания учащимся полного курса обучения, с учетом изменений в учебных программах дисциплин за истекший период.При неудовлетворительной оценке по результатам защиты дипломного проекта (работы) учащемуся по решению государственной квалификационной комиссии определяется новая тема дипломного проекта (работы) или разрешается повторная защита дипломного проекта (работы) по ранее утвержденной теме.Учащемуся, получившему по результатам повторной итоговой аттестации положительные оценки, выдается диплом о среднем специальном образовании.

Dear Sir or madam,

I am writing to complain about the terrible organization of a holiday recently booked with Med Tours.

My wife and I had chosen to stay in Bugibba, Malta from 19-26 June (ref: BMT 532) in order to celebrate our wedding anniversary together in peaceful and relaxing surroundings.

Our troubles began at the airport where our outward flight was delayed for over four hours. The check-in staff were unhelpful and there was no representative from Med Tours present to help deal with the situation. We finally took off at 3.15 pm and eventually arrived at the hotel in the evening tired and frustrated with having wasted the first day of the holiday.

The hotel was reasonably comfortable but the food lacked variety and the service was poor. Although advertised in your brochure as `a stone’s throw from the beach`, the hotel is in fact situated on the other side of a busy main road and is at least 20 minutes` walk away. The shops in the resort were crowded and expensive and there were a lot of noisy road works in the town.

Last but not least, the return flight was scheduled for 9.10 am which meant having to leave the resort at dawn to get to the airport on time. As a result, the stay is certainly not seven days as advertised and certainly cannot be described as `a haven of peace and tranquility`. I am therefore looking for compensation for the inconvenience and distress of a ruined holiday.

Yours faithfully,

Arthur Grundy

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to complain about the terrible organization of a holiday recently booked with Alpha Tours.

My wife and I had chosen to stay in Cyprus from 22-29 May (ref: BMT 42) in order to celebrate our wedding anniversary together in peaceful and relaxing surroundings.

Our troubles began at the airport where our outward flight was delayed for over four hours. The check-in staff were unhelpful and there was no representative from Alpha Tours present to help deal with the situation. We finally took off at 4.30 pm and eventually arrived at the hotel in the evening, exhausted and disappointed with having wasted the first day of the holiday.

The hotel was reasonably comfortable but a refurbishment was taking place during the first two days of our stay there. The noise did not give us opportunity to have a rest in the afternoons. The food lacked variety and the service was poor.

Last but not least, the return flight was scheduled for 8.30 am which meant having to leave the resort at dawn to get to the airport on time. As a result, the stay is certainly not seven days as advertised and certainly cannot be described as `a haven of peace and tranquility`. I am therefore looking for compensation for the inconvenience and distress of a ruined holiday.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir or Madam,

I was shocked with the terrible organization of a holiday recently booked with Med Tours.

My husband and I had chosen to stay in Thessaloniki from 10-17 July (ref: BMT 532) in order to spend our holiday together in peaceful and relaxing surroundings.

Our troubles began as soon as we arrived at the airport where our outward flight was delayed for over five hours. The check-in clerk was unhelpful and there was no representative from Med Tours present to help deal with the situation. We finally took off at 5.10 pm and eventually arrived at the hotel in the evening, tired and frustrated with having wasted the first day of the holiday.

The hotel was reasonably comfortable but a refurbishment was taking place during the first two days of our stay there. The noise did not give us opportunity to have a rest in the afternoons. The food lacked variety and the service was poor.

To make matters worse, the return flight was scheduled for 9.10 am which meant having to leave the resort at dawn to get to the airport on time. As a result, the stay is certainly not seven days as advertised and certainly cannot be described as `a haven of peace and tranquility`. I am therefore looking for compensation for the inconvenience and distress of a ruined holiday.

I am writing to express my strongest dissatisfaction with the terrible organization of a holiday recently booked with Sunshine Travel.

My wife and I had chosen to stay in Corsica from 9-17 October (ref:BMT 532) in order to have an annual vacation in a sunny and peaceful place.

Our troubles began at the airport where our outward flight was delayed for over four hours. The check-in staff were unhelpful and there was no representative from Sunshine Travel present to help deal with the situation. We finally took off at 3.15 pm and eventually arrived at the hotel in the evening, exhausted and disappointed with having wasted the first day of the holiday.

The hotel was reasonably comfortable but the food lacked variety and the service left much to be desired. Although advertised as `a stone`s throw from the beach`, the hotel is in fact situated on the other side of a busy main road and is at least 20 minutes` walk away. The shops in the resort were crowded and expensive and there were a lot of noisy road works in the town.

Finally, the return flight was scheduled for 9.10 am which meant having to leave the resort at dawn to get to the airport on time. As a result, the stay is certainly not seven days as advertised and certainly cannot be described as `a haven of peace and tranquility`. I am therefore looking for compensation for the inconvenience and distress of a ruined holiday.

Yours faithfully,

Ronald Bouma

Dear Sir or Madam,

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to complain about the terrible organization of a holiday recently booked with Alatan Tours.

My sister and I had chosen to stay in Milan from 15-24 July in order to spend our summer vacations together in a peaceful and picturesque place.

Our troubles began at the airport where our outward flight was delayed for over four hours. The check-in staff were unhelpful and there was no representative from Alatan Tours present to help deal with the situation. We finally took off at 3.15 pm and eventually arrived at the hotel in the evening, tired and frustrated with having wasted the first day of the holiday.

The hotel was reasonably comfortable but the service left much to be desired. Although advertised as `a stone`s throw from the beach`, the hotel is in fact situated on the other side of a busy main road and is at least 20 minutes` walk away.

Last but not least, the return flight was scheduled for 9.10 am which meant having to leave the resort at dawn to get to the airport on time. As a result, the stay is certainly not ten days as advertised and certainly cannot be described as `a haven of peace and tranquility`. I am therefore looking for compensation for the inconvenience and distress of a ruined holiday.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my strongest dissatisfaction with the terrible organization of a holiday recently booked with San Sola Voyage.

My wife and I had chosen to stay in Sicily from 20-27 June (ref:BMT 532) in order to spend our summer vacation on sunny beaches of the Mediterranean Sea.

As soon as we arrived at the airport our troubles began. Our flight was delayed for over four hours. The check-in clerk was unhelpful and there was no representative from San Sola Voyage present to help deal with the situation. We finally took off at 3.15 pm and eventually arrived at the hotel in the evening, tired and frustrated with having wasted the first day of the holiday.

The hotel was reasonably comfortable but the food lacked variety and the service was poor.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I was shocked with the terrible organization of a holiday recently booked with Sola Tours.

My brother and I had chosen to stay in Luxor from 11-18 August (ref: BMT 532) in order to spend our summer vacations together in peaceful and relaxing surroundings.

Our outward flight was delayed for over five hours and it was only the beginning of our troubles. The check-in clerk was unfriendly and unhelpful and there was no representative from Sola Tours present to help deal with the situation. We finally took off at 5.10 pm and eventually arrived at the hotel in the evening, tired and disappointed with having wasted the first day of the holiday.

The hotel was uncomfortable because a refurbishment was taking place during the first two days of our stay there. The noise did not give us opportunity to have a rest in the afternoons. The food lacked variety and the service was poor.

To make matters worse, the return flight was scheduled for 9.10 am which meant having to leave the resort at dawn to get to the airport on time. As a result, the stay is certainly not seven days as advertised and certainly cannot be described as `a haven of peace and tranquility`. I am therefore looking for compensation for the inconvenience and distress of a ruined holiday.
