Grado Superior — Official Vocational Degree

The Técnico Superior is an official, government-recognised qualification: 2,000 teaching hours, a Ministry of Education diploma, and 515 hours of paid work placement. The only student pathway in Spain that gives you work authorisation automatically from day one.

Work authorisation from day one — no extra process

Unlike language-course visas, the Grado Superior student permit includes automatic work authorisation from day one — no separate Extranjería application required. Work during Year 1 mornings and evenings; in Year 2 (afternoon schedule) you can work full mornings legally.

All prices include the €500 enrolment fee. For instalment plans: the first payment activates enrolment and triggers visa document issuance; the second payment is due before the second year of the Grado Superior begins (approximately one year after the first payment). Presencial includes a paid work placement with a company assigned by the school. Híbrido requires the student to source their own placement with school guidance.

Refund policy

Full refund minus the €500 enrolment fee upon an official consulate denial letter. Each case is evaluated individually.

Unique advantage: tourist visa → student visa from within Spain

The Grado Superior is the only pathway that allows a tourist-visa-to-student-visa status change from within Spain — no need to return home first. Requirements: minimum 60 days remaining on your tourist stay at time of application, submitted within the first 30 days of arrival in Spain.
