Training timing
THEORETICAL TRAINING
Access to the training itinerary is done in teletraining mode, with the advantage that the teletraining platform will be available 24 hours a day between the start date and the end date indicated in this didactic guide. The assigned tutor will, however, be aware of your access to the training itinerary. We recommend proportionally distributing the total hours of the course between the start and end dates of the training (remember that you have 6 months to finish the course) and not leaving entry to the course until the last few days, as there is a risk of not being able to meet the minimum levels of evaluation criteria also indicated in this teaching guide.
PRACTICAL TRAINING
As we have already explained in this teaching guide, the duration of the internship will vary depending on the agreement reached in the personal interview between the student and the person in charge of the center, with the minimum number of hours established being 160 hours and the maximum being 480 hours.
What can the student choose regarding his/her practical training?
The area where to do them (city, province, etc.)
The possibility of choosing between full-time (8 hours) or part-time (4 hours).
The date of joining the internship: the most common thing is to do it as soon as the theoretical part is finished, however, the student has 6 months to choose to start it.
Tutoring system
You have a tutoring service at your disposal to raise doubts and queries, whether related to the contents of the training action or management, the means used being the one indicated by your tutors and/or teachers. As a general rule; email, calls, videoconferences, via WhatsApp, etc. You will have your tutor available for everything you need.
