Teaching qualification requirements for Grades A and B in Sociocultural and Community Services

This Royal Decree repeals the previous regime established by Royal Decree 1697/2011 and introduces a new Professional Certificate for teaching in Grades A and B of the Sociocultural and Community Services professional family. It defines the curriculum and the Grade A and B offerings included in the certificate, aiming to modernise and standardise teacher training. The regulation applies to those authorised to teach in these grades.

In 3 key points

  1. Royal Decree 1697/2011 regarding teaching authorisation in Grades A and B is repealed (art. 1)
  2. The curriculum and Grade A and B offerings within the professional certificate are established (art. 2)
  3. Applicants must submit their professional certificate within 6 months (art. 3)

How it affects those involved

Teachers in Grades A and B of Sociocultural and Community Services must update their professional certificate according to the new curriculum. Educational authorities must integrate the new certificate into their assessment and validation processes. Teaching advisors should inform their clients about the changes and submission deadlines. Affected professionals must take action before the 6-month deadline expires to avoid losing their teaching authorisation.
