How to use your FCT balance for training: 5 simple steps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n

- Talk to us: tell us the amount available, the number of employees, the locations and the priority needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- We build a tailor-made plan: we design an FCT Training Plan adapted to your company's reality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- We deliver the certified training: we schedule and run the approved courses with your employees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Why act now<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Planning quality training takes time: needs assessment, scheduling, informing employees and submitting the application. Anyone who leaves the decision until December risks running out of time. In many cases, the balance sitting in the FCT is the simplest way to invest in people with no direct impact on cash flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using your FCT balance for training does not require having all the courses defined already. You can start by confirming the balance and then work out with Alves & Rasteiro a plan tailored to your teams' needs. The sooner you do it, the more time you have to inform employees, schedule the courses and submit the applications within the limit of 2 or 4 uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Alves & Rasteiro can help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Alves & Rasteiro analyzes with you your employees' real qualification needs and develops an FCT Training Plan 100% tailored to your organization, with pedagogical validation and legal compliance. We don't sell a generic course catalog: we train in Occupational Safety and Health, Fire Safety, First Aid and Emergency, Environmental Management, Quality Management, Leadership and Management, Digital Skills and Team Development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
