Face-to-face dual training:
Under Organic Law 3/2022, from the 2024–25 academic year onwards, a number of significant changes will be introduced to the vocational training system in Spain
The new Vocational Training Act establishes two models of dual vocational training: the general model and the intensive model. The general model replaces the previous ‘classroom-based model’, and work placements will account for between 20–35% of training hours, depending on the type of vocational training. In the intensive model, companies will account for between 35–50% of the training time. All UAX Vocational Training Higher Level courses fall under the general model.
This transition to the new vocational training regulations known as Dual (a standard version for the whole country, except for the order of modules and the teaching load set by each autonomous community) affects all first-year courses in any of their formats (face-to-face or online), except for the Higher Vocational Training Course in Dietetics, which remains under the LOGSE training plan, prior to the current LOE*
At UAX you will be connected to the business world from day one, you will attend events, participate in workshops, receive lectures from experts and take part in a multitude of complementary activities.
You will be able to benefit from more than 8,000 collaboration agreements with companies at the university and carry out practical training in the workplace.
You will train with university lecturers, who combine teaching and professional activity in leading companies, and you will receive advice from tutors who will help you decide your professional future.
TDconsulting, Sage and the Alfonso X el Sabio University join forces with the aim of expanding the training of students who are studying some of the selected Higher Level training cycles.
Through this collaboration, you will be able to broaden your knowledge with a Sage50 monographic course. The aim is to train you so that you can gain a better understanding of how a company really works and to promote its employability by creating more competitive people.
The course is made up of seven modules that cover all the functionalities of the programme and will be taught using e-learning methodology to be followed together with the Sage 50 programme, which is why an educational licence is included for students.
In this way, the three entities promote the training of students by focusing on accounting and business management. Sage50 is designed to increase the productivity of a business and adapt to new challenges.
