the productive sectors and related occupations or job posts; and the related<br />
training, structured according to modules.<br />
Likewise, section 4 of the Royal Decree establishes the structure of the<br />
National Catalogue of Vocational Qualifi cations, indicating that the vocational<br />
qualifi cations included in the Catalogue „are to be classifi ed by qualifi cation<br />
levels and occupational category”. 5 qualifi cation levels that „take into account<br />
the vocational comp<strong>et</strong>ency required by the productive activities according to<br />
the knowledge, initiative, autonomy, responsibility and complexity criteria, to<br />
name a few, of the activity to be performed” are established.
