During the interview, the trainee may be assisted by a person of his/her choice, whether a trainee or an employee of the training organization. The summons referred to in the previous paragraph shall mention this option. The head of the training organization or his or her representative will state the reason for the proposed sanction and will hear the trainee's explanations. The penalty may not be imposed less than one clear day or more than fifteen days after the interview. The trainee is notified of the decision in writing, with reasons, by e-mail, and receives a receipt.
