The requirements required for the selection of the tutor specifically relate to the following:

• Age of majority;

• A certificate of formal qualifications equal to or higher than the secondary school

The selection notice published by the Vet institution on the home page contains all the information needed to participate in the selection of the virtual tutor.

In case of an Ex-equo, the Vet institution will select the oldest candidate.

The VET Institution, following a selection notice, will draw up a ranking list on the basis of the evaluation of the qualifications submitted by the candidates.

The evaluation of curricula is validated by the body responsible for the training course, through a careful reading and study of the requirements identified in the curricula, a ranking will be drawn up and published by the VET institution.

The Vet institution, once published the ranking list, will inform the first candidate of the procedure for setting up the tutoring activity.
