Professional programmes
Programmes · 2027 intakes
Professional training built around practice.
Choose international trade, logistics or tourism and study for one year in Cuenca, Spain. Each programme combines a Spanish Level 3 Professional Certificate (an official vocational qualification), a Spanish course and a short university course called a microcredential, worth 4 ECTS credits. Complete these and your placement to receive PROM IBS’s own Expert award. This is not a university degree.
You begin with a month of immersion: 100 hours of Spanish if it is not your first language, or Professional Spanish for Employability if you already speak it.

Still not sure which one to choose?
That is completely normal. On a short call we look at your background and what you would like to do next, and we tell you honestly which programme fits best.
Accreditation and endorsement
Who stands behind your training.
Public bodies and the academy that endorses the programme. Each has a specific role: showing its logo does not mean it issues every qualification.
You won’t make this journey alone. Here is how we support you.
Moving to another country is a big decision, and it is natural to worry about the visa, housing or arriving somewhere you don’t know anyone. That is why our work does not end with an admission letter: PROM staff are with you while you prepare your documents at home, during the visa process and when you arrive in Spain.
In your home country
Profile review and visa application documents
We review your qualifications and tell you clearly whether they fit. Then we guide you, document by document, through your visa application documents.
Visa process
A written refund policy
If the consulate formally refuses your study visa, we refund the full €2,500 of your first tuition payment. Only the €300 administration fee is kept.
Before you travel
Rooms from around €300
We help you choose between student residences, shared flats and hotels we work with. Rooms in Cuenca are advertised from around €300 a month, subject to availability.
Arrival day
We meet you when you arrive in Cuenca
A member of our team waits for you at Cuenca’s high-speed railway station. You receive a welcome kit with the programme handbooks and a student guide to the city.
In Spain · In person
Your first paperwork, step by step
We explain your foreigner identity card (TIE), how to register your address with the local council, and the Social Security and healthcare steps that apply to you. We can help you in Spanish, English, Russian, French and Ukrainian.
During the programme
Placement, work and life in Spain
A supervised placement, help looking for your first job, cultural trips around Spain and regular updates for your family throughout the year.
PROM PRAXI™ method
Learn by doing, grow by applying.
PROM PRAXI™ turns knowledge into action. Working on real business cases, you learn to analyse situations, make decisions and solve professional challenges with sound judgement.
You reach your work placement with the tools, judgement and confidence to apply what you have learned from day one.
Practice
You work on real business cases from the start.
Reflect
You review every decision: what worked, what did not and why.
Apply
You take what you learn into new situations, in class and on placement.
Xchange
You compare ideas with classmates from other countries and with industry professionals.
Impact
You turn learning into results you can show at work.
Living in Cuenca
The advantage of an affordable university city.
Cuenca is a university city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, less than an hour by high-speed train from Madrid and Valencia. It is calm, walkable and far cheaper to live in than Spain’s big cities. Before you travel, you compare housing options and plan your stay with the PROM team.

Frequently asked questions
What you and your family want to know.
These are the questions students and their families ask us most before deciding. If yours is not here, write to us: a person from our admissions team will reply.
Will I lose my money if my visa is refused?
If you send us the consulate’s formal refusal, we refund the €2,500 you paid for your place and visa application support. Only the €300 enrolment and administration fee is kept, as it covers administrative work already done. The second and third payments are only due if you get the visa.
Is PROM IBS a university?
No, and we would rather say so clearly. PROM IBS is a school of professional training and specialization. The Level 3 training is delivered by F2Prom, an accredited centre (code 16/00026903), and the Professional Certificate is issued by Spain’s Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Sports. You can check our official codes on the About page.
Do I need to speak Spanish before I start?
If Spanish is not your first language, the programme starts with 100 hours of Spanish Language and Culture aimed at beginner levels A1/A2. Before enrolling, discuss your Spanish level and the teaching language of your programme with admissions. Support in English does not mean all classes are taught in English. The course does not automatically award a DELE language diploma.
How much does a room cost, and is it guaranteed?
Rooms in Cuenca are advertised from around €300 a month, depending on availability and conditions. We work with estate agencies, student residences and hotels to help you find somewhere before you travel. Rent is paid separately, directly to the landlord, and a specific room cannot be guaranteed.
Who will meet me when I arrive in Cuenca?
Before you travel, we confirm your departure station and train time with you. When you arrive at Cuenca’s high-speed station, a member of the PROM IBS team is there in person to help you through your first hours in the city.
How will my family stay informed?
If you would like your family involved, agree with the team how to keep them informed. Tutor meetings can cover your progress and how you are settling in, while respecting your privacy.
Can I work while I study?
It depends on your permission to stay. The general limit is 30 hours a week and work must fit around your studies; some training activities require an additional work permit. We review your situation before you start. Do not rely on future earnings to fund a stay you cannot yet afford.
What qualifications will I receive?
An official Spanish vocational certificate, a certificate for your Spanish course and a university microcredential worth 4 ECTS credits. Complete these and your placement to receive PROM IBS’s own Expert award. RAED provides academic endorsement of the programme; it does not issue those certificates.
Tell us about yourself. We reply within 48 business hours.
We look at your qualifications and your situation before you make any decision, and we tell you honestly whether the programme is right for you. It is free and you are under no obligation.
Our admissions team replies Monday to Friday, in Spanish, English, Russian, French or Ukrainian.
