About the admission process
The admission process has 5 total phases
- Form: First of all you would have to fill out this form online to officially start your process
- Level test: We will evaluate your current level through a portfolio review or specific test to be specified according to the selected training.
- Admission interview: We want to know what are your motivations and professional objectives that you want to achieve with this training, and thus decide if this is the right training for you.
- Final resolution: The Admissions Committee will evaluate your complete profile and make a decision on whether you are admitted to the training.
- Enrollment: Once you know if you have been admitted to the training, your enrollment is formalized and your place will be saved.
In addition to this process, you can also apply for one of our partial scholarships.
The admission process is open until the places in each call are exhausted, so if you have everything clear you could start it right away. Our recommendation is always to start the admission process as soon as possible to ensure that there are still places available.
Same if you are looking to apply to one of our partial scholarships. Keep in mind that the scholarships run out faster than the places, so if you are looking to obtain one of them it will always be better to start your process as soon as possible.

It is not a requirement that you have previous related training to take our training, although during the admission process it will be evaluated if you have sufficient knowledge at a practical level to be able to carry out the training. You may have acquired this knowledge with official training or self-taught.
The main thing we look for in our students is that they have the skills, aptitudes and attitudes necessary to be able to carry out the program. This ranges from having a previous level in the chosen area, to a very marked professional aspiration. In other words, we are looking for students for whom this is not a hobby, but who want to dedicate themselves to this at a professional level.
In the event that you are not very sure if you have the necessary level to carry out the training, you can contact one of our personal advisors so that they can carry out a prior evaluation of your profile, without any type of cost or commitment.

The face-to-face classes last 12 hours a week, and in the case of the online modality this load is slightly reduced because the teachers clean and edit the content so that you have the necessary material. In addition to this, we recommend spending at least the same number of hours a week to practice what you have learned and do the weekly tasks.
Keep in mind that, as it is a totally practical training, all the additional hours that you dedicate to working will be to your benefit since they will be reflected in better deliveries and a better portfolio.
