06/03/2024 - 10:40 h - Education and studies Ajuntament de Barcelona

The Department of Education of the Generalitat of Catalonia calls, from March 7 to 18, the access tests to access vocational training cycles in cases where the necessary academic requirements are not met. These tests allow access to the cycles if you do not have the necessary qualifications and are 17 or older if you want to enter a middle-grade cycle, or 19 or older if you want to do a higher-grade cycle.

It is essential to register between March 7 and 18 and pay the fee before March 19 at 10 p.m. It is necessary to present all documentation at the center where the test will be taken, if it is for intermediate grade cycles, from April 5 to 18, if it is for higher grade, from April 3 to 16.

Before registering, it is important to check the exemptions, because depending on work or academic circumstances, it is possible to save taking part of the exam or even the entire exam.

Intermediate vocational training cycles

The Department of Education calls for the entrance test to intermediate-level training cycles for people who do not have a graduate degree in compulsory secondary education (or another equivalent to access these educations).

The middle grade entrance exam is unique and will be on May 7.
