Sexenio Recognition: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how civil servant teachers in Spain can access salary increases through the recognition of six-year service periods.
The Sexenio Recognition is a system that provides salary increases to teachers based on completed blocks of professional service.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for civil servant teachers. To qualify for this recognition, you must have completed six years of service in your professional role.
What you get
The primary benefit is a salary increase. You are eligible for this pay increase for every six-year period of service you complete. In local terms, these periods are known as "sexenios," and the associated pay increase is referred to as a "complemento de formación." This allows your salary to progress as you reach these specific career milestones.
What it costs you
To receive this benefit, you must provide documentation of 100 hours of training. This requirement ensures that the recognition is tied to professional development alongside your years of service.
The catch to know
The most important detail to keep in mind is that your training must meet specific standards. Specifically, the training hours you submit must be officially recognized by the Ministry. If your training hours are not formally acknowledged by the governing body, they may not count toward your recognition.
How to apply
- Complete the required 100 hours of professional training.
- Verify that your training is officially recognized by the Ministry.
- Prepare your documentation regarding your years of service and your training hours.
- Submit your request through the appropriate channels to have your sexenios recognized.
