- The current cycle is scheduled to run until May 2027.
- Earlier official editions covered digital, management, service, language and sustainability skills.
A continuing regional training route
The programme is promoted as a third edition after earlier cooperation between Turismo do Algarve, Turismo de Portugal and the hotel-and-tourism school network. The current announcement again combines flexible online learning with concentrated face-to-face sessions.
The programme title does not mean that every prior topic repeats. Dates, eligibility, certification and available places belong to the individual 2026/27 actions.
Register through the named organiser
Professionals should compare each action with the skill gap they need to solve and check whether attendance is free, certified or restricted to the regional sector. Employers should also confirm working-time arrangements.
Use the official programme or Academia Digital route for enrolment. Avoid third parties requesting payment or identity documents for a place that has not been confirmed by the organiser.
