Initial training

Distance learning, continuous

The trainees will be evaluated in the form of a mandatory written form. Assiduity and behaviors will also be a factor of analysis and evaluation.

It will be considered a successful grade whenever the trainee obtains a final grade of 10 or more (on a scale of 1 to 20) and has an effective frequency of 95% or more of the total course workload. The successful attendance gives the trainee the right to receive a Vocational Training Certificate with an overall final mark resulting from the final average of the evaluation of all modules.

The right to the certificate implies:

• Evaluation in all modules;
• Achievement in continuous assessment;
• The attendance is equal to or greater than 95% of the total hours of the training action;
• The appropriate behavior (taking into account the following parameters: participation, responsibility, interpersonal relationships and punctuality).

• Block
• Pen
• Manual
• Projector
• Writing board
• Training support exercises (where applicable)
• Other support material produced by the trainer (when applicable).

Frequency Requirements

At the level of the frequency requirements for the course the following were defined:

• Employee or unemployed employee aged 18 years or over;
• Minimum compulsory education according to the date of birth or in the process of acquiring these qualifications or in the process of acquiring those qualifications;

Selection Criteria

1. With or without professional experience;
2. Motivation of frequency of action: this training being the overall objectives of strengthening the level of qualifications, we will try to emphasize the behaviors and attitudes evidenced by the candidates that reflect a manifest desire to improve their professional skills;
3. Equal opportunities: in the selection process, we will seek to ensure gender equality, so in each training action we intend to integrate 50% of Men and 50% of Women.
