Mandatory 40-hour training in Ponta Delgada
If you run a company in Ponta Delgada (Açores 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 region of roughly 68,000 people.
Companies in Ponta Delgada operate mainly in farming, fishing, tourism and services, activities with specific risks that mandatory training helps prevent. Quirónprevención, with an office in Lisboa, provides these businesses with DGERT-certified training recognised by ACT.
