How and Why to Choose a Course with Official Certification

If you are considering taking a vocational training course in Catalonia, it is crucial to ensure that the program is officially certified by the government. Obtaining a recognized and accredited education is essential to ensure that your training is accepted when seeking employment or when validating subjects in a university career, for example.


Official Certification: Proprietary Title vs. Official Title

In Spain, there are two types of certifications for vocational training courses: proprietary titles and official titles.

Proprietary Title:
Proprietary titles are issued by private training centers and are not regulated by the government. These courses are designed and offered by private educational institutions, which gives them some flexibility in the program’s structure and course content. Although these titles may be valid in the private sphere and in some companies, they are not officially recognized by the Ministry of Education or the regional governments. Therefore, it is important to consider that a proprietary title certification may have limitations regarding its academic and professional validity.

Official Title:
On the other hand, official titles are those that are regulated and accredited by the government and are issued in collaboration with duly authorized public or private educational institutions. These courses meet established academic standards and are subject to a curriculum defined by the Ministry of Education and the autonomous communities. Official titles are valid throughout the national territory and, in some cases, may be recognized internationally. Obtaining an official title guarantees that you have followed a quality educational program and that your training is valid for accessing jobs and continuing studies anywhere in Spain and other countries.

In summary, when looking for a vocational training course in Catalonia, it is essential to opt for programs that offer official titles. This way, you will ensure that you receive quality training, recognized by the government, and with greater academic and professional validity both in Spain and abroad. Official certification is a guarantee for your professional future, allowing you to achieve your career goals successfully in a region full of opportunities like Catalonia.

How to Know If the Course of Interest Offers Official Certification?


Here are some tips on how to verify the certification offered by a course in Spain:

Check the official website of the Departament d’Educació or the Diari Oficial de la Generalitat de Catalunya: The government of Catalonia has an online platform where you can verify the official accreditation of vocational training centers. Visit their website and look for the section on “Centros y Titulaciones” to obtain detailed information about the certification of your course of interest. You can also look for information about the center in the Diari Oficial de la Generalitat de Catalunya.

Review the curriculum and duration of the course: Government-approved vocational training courses comply with specific standards and offer well-structured curricula. Make sure that the course you are interested in meets the academic requirements and has an appropriate duration to obtain the desired qualification.

Request information directly from the educational center: Feel free to contact the educational center you are interested in to obtain detailed information about the official certification of their courses. Inquire about the accreditation process, requirements, and certificates you will receive upon completing the program.
