Basic VCA – classroom + online (Portuguese language)
Hybrid Basic VCA course in Portuguese
The combination of the Basic VCA online course and in-person training in Portuguese is ideal for anyone who wants thorough preparation for the exam. With instant access to the online platform, you can study at your own pace, while the classroom session held just before the exam is a perfect opportunity to consolidate your knowledge.
