A support office for students wishing to pursue vocational training
Located at C/ Rosselló, 87-89, next to the Escola Industrial, this will be a one-stop-shop for all procedures linked to professional training and all other post-compulsory studies. Students will also be able to get information on available options and access procedures.
The office is designed for students at any point in their education and training path wishing to access post-compulsory non-university education. Its role is equivalent to that of the University Access Office, meaning it will help ensure the continuity of students aged between 16 and 18. Anybody approaching the office will have access to:
- Vocational training cycles (CFGM) and higher training cycles (CFGS)
- Artistic and sports training
- Basic level vocational training (FP)
- Vocational training aimed at students with special education needs
- Training and insertion programmes (PFI)
- Vocational training for unemployed people wishing to improve their employability and ongoing training for those already in work.
- Baccalaureate studies (professionalising and specialised)
- Adult training schools, with courses for access exams to CFGM and CFGS vocational training
Opening times and a website with a new study search feature
Face-to-face and online service is available to the public from Monday to Thursday, from 8.30 am to 5 pm, and on Fridays, the days before public holidays and the school holidays, from 8.30 am to 2 pm. Two other channels have also been set up, one for videoconferencing and another for WhatsApp.
Another means of contact is the chat at fp.edubcn.cat. The website, developed by the Barcelona Education Consortium, also includes a new vocational training search feature to find the most suitable study options for students according to key word. The feature uses the terms introduce to suggest different courses linked to the interests specified. For more information on each option, users can use the Tria educativa website.
Some pre-enrolment periods open in April
The first post-compulsory study options to be opened up for pre-enrolment for the 2022-2023 academic year will be the performing arts, with the process to open this week, on Thursday 14 April. Vocational training (FP) for continuing students and baccalaureate courses open up from the second half of this month. The rest will follow in May, except for adult education, which will be in the second half of June. For specific dates check the website Tria educativa.
