The Training Course Associated with Professional Internships was launched, by the Order, approximately 6 months ago. Since then, 47 courses have been held in various locations across the country, such as Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra, Braga, Guimarães, Leiria, Aveiro, Viseu, Faro, Évora, Almada, Funchal, Ponta Delgada and Angra do Heroísmo. At the moment, 668 trainee vacancies have been filled, with the courses being given with the maximum number of trainees.

41 courses have already begun, and 35 have been finalised. From the 529 trainees who participated, 511 passed. From the 18 trainees who did not pass, the most common reason was lack of attendance at the course (11). 

The summary of the first semester of Training Courses, administered by the Order, is very positive, with a very high rate of satisfaction from the trainees, both in terms of content and in terms of the communication capacity of the trainers.
