Definition

Basic Vocational Training cycles are compulsory for educational administrations but voluntary for families and students, and are free of charge. Simultaneous fulfilment of the following conditions is required to take part in these studies:
¿ Be over fifteen years of age, or turn 15 during the current calendar year, and not exceed seventeen years of age when beginning studies or during the current calendar year (above 17 years of age, Basic Vocational Training may be taken as adult education).
¿ Have completed the first cycle of Compulsory Secondary Education or, exceptionally, have completed the second year of Compulsory Secondary Education.
¿ The teaching team has proposed the student's incorporation into a Basic Vocational Training cycle to the parents or legal guardians.
These studies have a modular structure. They include professional modules for the acquisition of lifelong learning skills (Communication and Social Sciences and Applied Sciences), professional modules that guarantee necessary training in professional skills for professional life and job placement, and a professional Work Centre Training (WCT) module. The latter is carried out in-company and has the fundamental objective of completing and polishing the professional skills acquired at the educational centre. The duration of the training cycles is 2,000 hours, equivalent to two full-time academic courses. This can be extended to three academic years in cases in which the cycles are included in projects or dual Vocational Training programs. Students who pass are granted the Basic Professional Title corresponding to the courses they have taken and the official Professional Training title from the educational system. They may also obtain the title of Graduate in Compulsory Secondary Education, after passing the final evaluation.
