Spanish administration offering Macromedia Flash courses in 2025
twitter.comIs this some sort of really old online training catalog they have?
I worked at a place that bought into some sort of online training and I used it one day and it began to explain what a word processor was…
I am not so sure, but from my understanding it is that if you are a professional or a business and are offering those courses, you can opt to be subsidized. I'm not sure anyone is offering these types of courses in 2025 so I understand the budget goes to more modern courses.
The sad thing is that this goes to show no one has reviewed the technologies, and it's an incentive for fraudulent stuff. Like, create a fake course, nobody opts but your 20 friends, and you get the subsidy.
Yes, that's mostly it. You need to have a number of courses in your catalogue to opt to certain subsidies, so they pad them with almost anything even remotely related. Fraud in this space in Spain is so prevalent it's not even funny any more tbh.
Exactly. They had been offering this course from 2007. Even without nobody opting out they grab the subdidy. The funding for these courses is from the European Union. Spain is a corrupt state.
That's a bummer, easy money / government welfare for businesses absolutely sucks out the entrepreneurial spirit and opportunities for a nation IMO.
