Everything you need to know
Who qualifies
Under Law 76/2002, unemployed people registered with AJOFM study for free. This also applies to those returning from abroad, those working in rural areas with low income, and those returning from parental leave.
Employed people can take the courses, but they must pay.
Available courses
Commerce, security, cooking, accounting, SSM inspector, human resources, computer operator and digital skills, among others.
Each county opens different classes: check your county's list.
Accounting, SSM and HR for free
These courses are usually paid at private schools. The real free route is through AJOFM, when your county opens a class.
A free "SSM course" online is usually just the company's internal training, not inspector certification.
