The Centro Qualifica in Famalicão has open enrolments for adults who wish to start the process of skills recognition, validation and certification (RVCC), which aims at validating and certifying skills acquired and developed throughout life, through formal, non-formal and informal ways, to obtain a qualification. The process is aimed at people aged 18 and over and covers a financial support to those who conclude a qualification in RVCC, which corresponds to 1.25 of the IAS, which translates, this year, into the amount of EUR 554.
The measure is aimed at adults aged over 23, or over 18 and under 23 with 3 years of professional experience, and recognises and validates the knowledge, skills and learning acquired by adults throughout their lives to improve their levels of qualification, employability and social recognition, awarding the adult a certification equivalent to the 4th, 6th, 9th and 12th years of schooling.
The programme is part of the Recovery and Resilience Plan, and eligible for the "Qualifica Accelerator" are adults who complete, at least, 50% of the referential of one of the following qualifications: 3rd cycle of basic education, secondary education, level 2 of the National Qualifications Framework (QNQ) - provided they have the 9th year of schooling -, Level 4 of the QNQ - provided they have the 12th year of schooling -, Level 5 of the QNQ - provided they have the 12th year of schooling.
