Higher Technician in Administration and Finance

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 

• All Vocational Training will adopt a dual approach, meaning that students will combine their learning between educational institutions and companies.
• The Workplace Training Module (FFE) will no longer exist as a separate component. Instead, work placements will be integrated directly into the modules of each training programme.
• This means that work placements will not take place exclusively at the end of the academic year, but will be spread throughout the training programme and will be geared towards achieving specific learning outcomes.

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*}}
