How do I apply for a training course??
To apply for a course you must go to a Training Agency and fill in a pre-enrollment form. In most cases you will be asked to do a placement test to make sure the course you are applying for is the most suitable for you.
If in the Training Agency there are not places left for the course you want to do, you can try another agency: often the same course is offered in more than one agency.
Be careful to the courses which are not funded. Always check the course you are applying for is funded by Provincia and Regione?
