Bonus training

The Rey Juan Carlos University is registered in the State Register of Training Entities of the State Public Employment Service (SEPE). This enables us to provide subsidized training actions. In other words, our own teaching courses may form part of the company's training plans for their workers, and these may deduct part of the course expenses by using the training credit available to them.

The possibility of obtaining bonuses in the Social Security contribution can be an additional incentive for certain companies to resort to our courses with the aim of improving the training of their workers. In this way, and especially through the Own Teaching courses, we will be able to encourage the transfer of knowledge from our institution to the productive fabric of society.

For this, the courses must meet a series of requirements that, although they are simple, must be taken into account:

  • All of them must be developed within a single fiscal year.
  • In the case of face-to-face training, a maximum of 30 participants per course and a maximum duration of 8 hours of training per day is established.
  • For non-face-to-face training, the number of 80 participants per tutor must not be exceeded and the virtual platform must meet a series of requirements that our Virtual Classroom meets.

In addition, the bonus by the companies establishes the obligation of the training entity, in this case the URJC, to:

  • Facilitate and take co-responsibility in monitoring the participation, learning and evaluation of students
  • Submit to quality controls and audits.
