Funcionamento

After completing the basic course, the participants will receive a national vocational qualification certificate as "Monitor de Integração Social de Adolescentes" (translated as "Counselor for Social Integration of Adolescents"), which allows the attendance to the next training sections (Advanced I & II).

Upon completion of the Advanced Course I a Certificate of attendance is issued. With the conclusion of the Advanced Course II , the participant will receive a national vocational qualification certificate as „Terapeuta Ocupacional de Jovens com Dificuldades de Integração" (translated as "Occupational Therapist for Adolescents with Integration Difficulties").

NOTE:This qualifies the participants on a continuing vocational training level, in Portugal and is highly valued by the youth care projects and German youth protection servicer. Anyhow, it does not replace a high school or an academic degree, an occupational apprenticeship, nor the professional support of the youth services projects. Therefore this training does not meet the requirements to acquire a “Carteira Profissional” (Professional Licence) as a Occupational Therapist.
