In the experimental dimension, an 11-week curriculum was applied to 5 students at the beginning level, by the theoretical knowledge tests and performance tests and testing-measurement processes were carried out. The data obtained from the performance tests were evaluated by three field experts based on the determined 5-point likert scale. Then, the success scores were found by calculating the weighted average of the theoretical knowledge tests and performance tests determined for each unit. As a result of the research; The average achievement scores of the units of the prepared guideline program are in the range of 81-100 points, and the average success score of the students according to the units is between 92.6 - 96.82 and this situation concluded that the program is quite successful.
