Training Bonus (FUNDAE): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how employees can access company-funded training through the FUNDAE bonus system in Spain.
The Training Bonus (FUNDAE) is a system that allows companies to fund professional development for their staff by using credits earned through social security contributions.
Who it's for
This scheme is for employees who wish to improve their professional skills through training provided by their employer.
What you get
You receive training sessions or courses funded by your company. Instead of the company paying for these courses out of pocket, the cost is covered by credits (often called a "Crédito de formación") that the company has earned through its social security contributions.
What it costs you
It costs you nothing. The company handles the funding and the administrative costs associated with the training.
The catch to know
You cannot apply for this bonus directly as an individual. The training must be requested and organized by your company's HR or administrative department.
How to apply
- Identify a training course or certification you wish to complete.
- Discuss the training opportunity with your manager or supervisor.
- Contact your company's HR department to see if they can process it via the FUNDAE bonus.
- Complete the training as scheduled by your employer.
