Cursos SOC

A directory of Catalonia employment courses

Cursos SOC is an informational website that collects and organizes course offerings from the Catalan Employment Service (SOC), the public employment service of the Government of Catalonia. It does not teach the courses; it aggregates the official schedule so visitors can search for training available across Catalonia’s four provinces.

Course listings

The site lists vocational training courses (Formació ocupacional) for certificates of professional competence and other specialties. Published examples include:

• Customer-service administrative activities
• Retail support activities
• Warehouse support activities
• Administrative management activities
• English (A2), English (B1), and English for commercial management
• German A1

Each course listing includes the training type, official course ID, course title, municipality and province, format (in person or online), and, in some cases, start and end dates.

Geographic coverage

Information is organized by Catalonia’s four provinces: Barcelona, Tarragona, Girona, and Lleida. Within each province, the site names municipalities where courses are offered, including Roquetes, Tortosa, El Vendrell, Blanes, Girona, Lleida, Almenar, and Tremp, among others.

Who can take part and course formats

The listed courses are mainly for unemployed people, although employed people may also be eligible. Along with in-person courses, the site mentions the e-learning program, which offers more than 80 online courses lasting 20 to 55 hours.

About the information

This is an informational website, not an academy or its own training center. The information shown is for the 2020 schedule. Confirm whether courses are still offered and check enrollment requirements directly with SOC or through its official channels.
