In 2019, the TAFAD (Higher Technical Diploma in Physical and Sports Activities Co-ordination) qualification was split into two separate qualifications: Physical Fitness, and Social Sports Teaching and Co-ordination. The two new qualifications share some core modules, but each also has its own specific modules.
Society is becoming increasingly aware of the importance of improving physical fitness to enhance health and quality of life. Consequently, there is a growing demand for graduates with TSAF and TSEAS qualifications. With the official UAX Vocational Training qualification in Physical Conditioning ( formerly TAFAD) , you can train to the highest standard under the guidance of a leading university in health and sport, and boost your career prospects in the fields of training, physical activity and health.

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*
