The mess we face can feel overwhelming when there is no job or when a change is in the air. Taking control is hard because the moment is layered and nuanced. Yet when a decision is made, it must be executed with care and safety. A hopeful outlook on a future with opportunities and a solid salary motivates the move. Education becomes a direct bridge to employment.
Now available in Alicante, three lessons are offered at no cost and present a strong option for anyone looking to start a business or pursue a new path. The programs remain open to new participants.
There are three official training tracks with no required prior experience, and there may be additions up to nine, seventeen, and eighteen in January depending on selection. This article covers career prospects, salaries, and training details.
Free courses in Alicante
Before moving forward, it is anticipated that completing a course can lead to positions such as inspector of gas reception facilities, inside air conditioning installation, or thermal solar panel installation, among many other roles.
No previous experience is required to enroll in the courses.
Some readers may find these fields unfamiliar, yet registration does not require past experience. If the options catch interest, the best approach is simply to dive in. The strongest point is that the focus is on three sectors. Hiring is active, and demand remains high.
The three courses are delivered by the Alicante Metal Entrepreneurs Federation FEMPA and are official. Learners will gain practical, hands-on training and will be able to apply knowledge within hundreds of FEMPA partner companies.
It is worth noting that more official programs exist beyond these three, all offered free of charge. A list of current free courses in Alicante is provided here for those who want to enroll now.

Inspector of gas reception facilities
The first course, titled “Assembly, maintenance, inspection, and revision of gas appliance acceptance facilities,” opens pathways to several positions after completion:
-
Gas fitter.
-
Gas reception facilities inspector.
-
Maintenance technician for gas systems and appliances.
Questions about what it feels like to work in this field often include concerns about earnings. The reality shows earnings that can be above average depending on the role and employer.
Recent job postings show openings for gas fitters and facility inspectors, with annual gross salaries that typically range but can be higher in many companies.
Typical listings appear weekly on major portals. A quick check reveals active postings that reflect high demand in the sector.
Beware of solar installations
For those drawn to another field, the course on “Installation and maintenance of thermal solar installations” is a strong option. Renewable energy is already central to the economy and continues to grow with strong support from public programs and incentives aimed at households and businesses alike.
As this sector expands, know-how for assembling boards, wiring circuits, and maintaining systems becomes a valuable skill for several roles in the energy field, opening doors to steady work.
-
System technician for alternative energies.
-
Solar energy installer with piping.
-
Assembler of solar power plates.
-
Installer of thermal solar systems.
Access to these opportunities often comes through FEMPA training and placement programs with partner companies.
Working in the air conditioning sector
This other course leads into a thriving industry with strong growth and promising future prospects. It is titled “Installation and maintenance of air conditioning and ventilation systems” and provides practical tools for several job roles. Here are a few examples:
-
Air conditioning and ventilation technician.
-
Equipment repair technician for refrigeration and air conditioning.
-
Plant operator for ventilation and heating systems.
Why does this industry seek more workers? Regulatory changes at both European and national levels shape how the sector develops. Manufacturers must adapt, and that means more hands on deck.
Salaries in this field appear attractive with typical offers around a few thousand euros monthly gross, with variations by company and role across the market.
Education in this area emphasizes practical application. Students can engage with hundreds of FEMPA partner firms and gain real experience. Exploring this professional path can be done with no commitment beyond enrollment.
