The National School for Hearing Aids Technologists has the aim to develop audiology as an essential means of improving the quality of life of people with hearing problems. To obtain this, we implement in this field our own Model of Intervention, Vinjoy Model. We implement plans and actions appointed to the training of professionals, specialisation, research and raising-awareness of auditory health.
In this field and as done in previous years, Vinjoy Foundation offers the Certificate of Higher Education in Hearing Aids Technologists.
This High Level Technical Certificate set up with the Education and Culture Department in the Principality of Asturias, is free for students, who only need to pay 1.12 euros a year for school insurance.
What we must outline about this Certificate is its extraordinary employability, as practically 100% of our students are working within a month after they have finished their training.
We also have “dual mode” (“modalidad dual”), which allows to do paid training in some companies belonging to this field, from the first year of studies.
