DUAL Training

What is dual training?

Dual Vocational Training combines learning processes in the company and at the centre through the cooperation of training centres and companies.

The training completed by students in the company must be closely related to the professional profile of the training course and the planned specializations. This means that, in addition to achieving productive results, these hands-on experience enables learning and, ultimately, the acquisition of work-related skills, those of the specialization itself, and other transversal skills useful for improving employability.

With this type of training, students:

• Learn in real-life work situations, gaining extensive professional experience.
• Receive wages proportional to the length of work according to the contract or agreement and begin their working life paying contributions to Social Security.
