Postgraduate training

The TPV consists of 750 hours of professional training activities (corresponding to 30 University Credits) completed in certified external structures that have an official agreement with the university. TPV training cannot be completed within the structures of the university itself.

The regional Joint Committee for Professional Training (Commissione Paritetica Tirocini della Regione Emilia Romagna) recommends that the period of TPV training should have a minimum duration of 5 months and a maximum duration of one year. Trainees should work approximately 20/30 hours a week (4/5 hours per day). TPV training can be completed as follows:

• 50 hours in a single structure.
• 500 hours in one structure and 250 hours in another.
• 375 hours in one structure and 375 hours in another.

Graduates starting a period of professional training must now complete 750 hours of TPV. To begin TPV training, graduates must compile and submit modules A and D. Instructions for the completion of these documents are attached to module D.

Candidates who have completed 1000 hours of professional training

At the end of both semesters of training, these candidates must:

• Return their completed training register (libretto di tirocinio) to the Student Amministration Office (Segreteria Studenti) in via D’Azeglio 85 by certified post or in person. Scanned copies sent via email will not be accepted.
• Send the two completed copies (one by the candidate, one by the tutor) of the training evaluation questionnaire (modules E and F) via email to dusic.tirocini@unipr.it.

If the two semesters of training were completed in two separate structures, or in two separate sections of the same structure (with two separate tutors), candidates and their tutors must complete two copies of the questionnaire – one for each semester. If the two semesters of training were completed in the same structure with the same tutor, candidates and tutors must complete the questionnaires with reference to the entire period of training.
