Everything you need to know

Employment training

Public employment services in each region offer free courses, in-person or online. Some award the Certificate of Profesionalidad, an official qualification valid throughout Spain.

Places are limited and there is a selection process.

FUNDAE: courses for workers

FUNDAE has a search tool for subsidized courses, all free, run by authorized centers. They are mainly aimed at people who are working.

You can filter by sector, format, and province.

Google online courses

Google offers free online courses with a Google certificate upon passing the exam.

The old Google Actívate has been discontinued. Today courses are available on Skillshop and Grow with Google.

How to protect yourself

Many websites with "SEPE courses" in the name are not government-run. Official addresses end in sepe.es, fundae.es, or your region's government domain.

No official course asks for a credit card or payment to enroll.

Official source: enrollment is always done on the official website of each program. This guide only explains how they work.
