Get ready to pursue a career with technical training, hands-on learning and the support of UAX. Choose your Higher National Diploma – online or face-to-face – and take the step you’re looking for: start working, enhance your skills or change sectors.
Studying at UAX Vocational Training means training in an academic environment linked to Alfonso X el Sabio University. You combine technical specialisation, academic support and the opportunity to progress on to a university degree.
In the face-to-face programme, this connection is experienced every day on campus. In both programmes, your course has the same aim: to develop the skills required for a profession.
The UAX FP methodology links knowledge with its professional application. You’ll work on scenarios relevant to your specialism, use industry tools and learn to tackle tasks with technical expertise and independence.
Apply what you’re studying to real-world scenarios in your profession: analyse problems, propose solutions and understand the decisions required for each task.
Get to know the software and tools used in your specialism through the activities in the course. Learn what they’re used for and how to use them at work.
Demonstrate what you can do through practical challenges and training exercises. See how you apply what you’ve learnt and identify which skills you need to strengthen.
Practise procedures and tackle professional situations in simulations tailored to your course, with guidance from teaching staff.
The work-based learning phase (FFE) gives you an insight into the day-to-day workings of your sector: get to know teams, take part in processes and apply what you’ve learnt in a professional setting.
The partner organisations, duration and requirements for this stage depend on the qualification and the curriculum. Please check the details in your course information.
Once you’ve completed your vocational training, you can either enter the job market or continue your studies at university. If you’re interested in a degree, the admissions team will advise you on the options available for your course and the credit recognition applicable to your situation.
