Spain has welcomed the new Vocational Training after years of requests, proposals, failures and demands for this education that for a long time has been ignored and underestimated compared to the university, but the tables have turned and FP has re-emerged with a new law that more doors than ever.

As has been requested for years, the new Vocational Training will follow the model of other European countries, such as Germany, intensifying its dual offer to provide both the necessary education and internships in companies. In this way, it is intended that there be greater cooperation between the public and private sectors to favor the labor insertion of students.

In this sense, one of the most interesting changes is that from the beginning of the degree they will begin to do internships to get the apprentices accustomed to their future work. Until now, you had to wait for the last stages of Vocational Training to start working in a real environment.

Flexibility is another of the great mottos of this new law, with the promotion of flexible itineraries that allow students to study several degrees at the same time, different subjects, merge and combine various Vocational Training offers, as well as making it easier to obtain double degrees as well valued in some labor sectors.

Online FP is also a great option for those who are interested in taking a course that is not in any educational center in their area. Through the Internet, students will be able to obtain titles that are just as valid as face-to-face ones and without the penalty of having to change locations or reject certain studies because they are not available in their municipality.

Another of the key points of the new Vocational Training is that guidance is of crucial importance. From the Ministry they emphasize that “a professional guidance and accompaniment service will be offered that allows the design of individual and collective training itineraries”, and that it will be maintained throughout the working life.

In order to grease the circulation between the educational center and the company, the figure of the dual tutor appears, which consists precisely in personifying this connection between both worlds. This tutor will be in charge of talking to the students about what they will do in the practices, how long they will last, where and all kinds of related questions.

This new Vocational Training seeks a global transformation of the system and turn it into a single system that is the door to quality employment for young people, which is capable of responding flexibly to the interests, expectations and aspirations for professional qualification of people throughout their lives and to the demands of the productive sectors, as explained by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training.

Contrary to many other legal initiatives that have taken place in the Spanish state, this new FP law is the result of an intense participation process that began at the end of 2020, and which has received contributions from the business sector, the autonomous communities, others ministerial departments, social partners, numerous associations and entities, and also citizens.

Vocational Training is becoming more and more fashionable among young people, although Spain is still far from the European average. While here 12% of students opt for vocational training, in the rest of the continent 25% do so. However, in the last 5 years there has been an upward trend, with enrollments growing by almost 20% each course, and there is a wide variety of training offers that increasingly attract more students.

The Higher Level Cycle of Early Childhood Education is an excellent opportunity, thanks to its flexible online format and with the supervision of a tutor, one of the great figures of the new Vocational Training, as offered by the Higher Technical Training Cycle. in administration and finance.

Vocational Training also opens doors to other sectors such as the one offered by the Advanced Training Cycle in International Trade, with an exclusive educational model, where you will learn from the best professionals. Following the revolutionary new FP law, you will have training based on the development of real projects, with which you will acquire the necessary skills to solve problems such as those you will encounter in your professional future.

One of the most in-demand FP medium degrees is that of Technician in Electrical and Automatic Installations, with which you acquire all the necessary knowledge to assemble, operate and maintain lines and facilities for the distribution of medium voltage and low voltage electrical energy and power centers. transformation, unique installations and building automation, among many others.
