Difference Between Qualification and Technical Courses
As mentioned, there are vacancies for qualification and technical courses. For those who do not know, the difference between them lies in the fact that the former has a short duration, varying from 160 to 366 hours, and aims to insert or reinsert the student into the job market – at the end, the student receives a certificate.
On the other hand, technical courses have a workload of up to 1,200 hours, lasting from one to one and a half years, and train professionals with specific theoretical and practical knowledge. Here, unlike qualification courses, the approved student receives a diploma.
