Prerequisites for Admission to Advanced Vocational Training Programs
The conditions for admission and enrolment are established by the Catalan Government’s Department of Education every academic year and published in the Official Gazette of the Government of Catalonia (Diari Oficial de la Generalitat de Catalunya – DOGC).
As a general rule, prospective students must:
a) Hold at least one of the following qualifications:
- Batxiller or equivalent: Advanced Level Secondary Education diploma, High School diploma, etc.
