Non-university diplomas

The recognition/validation process is only required for courses equal to or higher than grade 10, since for lower grades, the student who has studied in Canada will be directly incorporated into the course that corresponds to him/her in Spain according to age and year of birth. This means that, in the case of Canada, the only courses that must be validated are those completed in grades 10, 11 and 12.
