Mandatory 40-hour training in Coimbra
If you run a company in Coimbra (Coimbra district), the law requires you to give each employee 40 hours of certified professional training every year. That is the rule set by Article 131 of the Portuguese Labour Code, covering the workforce of a city and district capital of roughly 143,000 people.
Companies in Coimbra operate mainly in manufacturing, ceramics, glass and services, activities with specific risks that mandatory training helps prevent. Quirónprevención, with an office in Aveiro, provides these businesses with DGERT-certified training recognised by ACT.
Why is 40-hour training mandatory in Coimbra?
Many companies in Coimbra do not realise that 40 hours of annual training is required by law. Article 131 of the Labour Code applies to every employer in the Coimbra district, and Quirónprevención (a DGERT entity) handles the whole process, from planning to issuing certificates accepted by ACT.
