Four ways Spain pays for your trade training

🎓

💼

Paid dual contracts

The intensive dual track uses a contrato de formación en alternancia: a real employment contract, paid per your convenio and never below the proportional minimum wage (€1,221/month in 2026). Note: the general dual track is typically unpaid.

SEPE free training

Job seekers train free through SEPE’s formación para el empleo and certificados de profesionalidad — while keeping benefits.

FP scholarships

Ministry becas cover FP study costs based on income — and dual programmes in transition pay support grants of at least 80% of monthly IPREM.
