VET qualifications in computer science
Within vocational training in computer science there are several specialisations that adapt to different profiles and professional opportunities. Making the right choice is key to orienting your career from the start. The main options are application development and systems administration, each with a different focus within the technology sector.
VET in computer science offers a high employability in different technological profiles:
The technology sector has a constant demand for professionals, which makes these trainings one of the most attractive options.
UAX offers practice-oriented training, with programmes designed to develop applied competences from the very beginning. The focus is on employability and the connection with the professional environment, facilitating job placement in the technology sector after completing the studies.
The three main degrees (DAM, DAW and ASIR) have high employability, but currently DAM and DAW stand out due to the high demand for software and web development profiles. Even so, ASIR continues to be key in systems, networks and IT support positions.
It depends on your interests. DAM is the most versatile option if you are interested in programming in general, DAW is focused on web development and ASIR focuses on networks, systems and technological infrastructure. Making the right choice from the start will help you to focus your career.
The Higher Level Training Cycles in Computer Science have an approximate duration of 2 years, including the In-Company Training (FFE), where you will apply what you have learnt in a real professional environment.
Yes, it is one of the training programmes with the highest employability. The technology sector has a constant demand for technical profiles, especially in software development, web programming and systems administration.
To access a higher degree you need to have a baccalaureate, an intermediate degree or pass an entrance exam. There are also other access routes depending on your academic situation.
Yes, especially if you choose online or blended learning. Many students combine training and work, especially in technological fields where it is possible to start working early.
Sí, tras finalizar un grado superior puedes acceder a la universidad y continuar tus estudios en carreras relacionadas como ingeniería informática o desarrollo de software.
VET has a more practical and employment-oriented focus, with rapid incorporation into the labour market. University offers a more theoretical and in-depth training, designed for more advanced or specialised technical profiles in the long term.
You can work as an application developer, web programmer, system administrator, IT support technician or network specialist, among other technology profiles.
Salaries depend on the position and experience, but junior profiles in development or systems tend to have good conditions and rapid growth within the technology sector.
DAWs and DAMs tend to offer faster job placement because they are directly related to development, one of the profiles most in demand by companies.
No es necesario. La formación está diseñada para empezar desde cero, aunque tener interés por la tecnología y la lógica de programación facilita el aprendizaje.
