Dear all,
Following the statements by the Secretary of Public Health early this morning in the media, we would like to inform you that at CETT we are waiting for the indications of the health authorities.
We will inform you via the usual channels on how to act accordingly and ensure the health of the whole community as soon as such indications are specified or there is any further news. Until further notice, training and services will continue as before.
On the other hand, we would like to remind you that you can send us any COVID-19 questions related to the e-mail consellsalut@cett.cat and that you have at your disposal the information about safety measures and protocols too.
We would like to emphasize that at CETT we will strive to ensure your education and your safety, which are priorities, adapting to new scenarios that may occur. This year we are facing many challenges, but we are ready to respond by meeting the established academic objectives and ensuring that the students have quality training.
With our warmest wishes,
Academic Management
Siguiendo las indicaciones de las autoridades sanitarias, en los ciclos formativos se han tomado medidas según las recomendaciones que se han hecho en las últimas horas para hacer frente a la pandemia.
Las clases pasan a ser en formato online, excepto la parte de formación práctica de ciclos de hostelería, que se mantiene presencial.
Por otra parte, los Diplomas de Extensión Universitaria de sumiller seguirán recibiendo formación presencial ya que es formación de aplicación práctica.
La información concreta de cada programa formativo se recibirá a través de las coordinaciones de estudios.
First of all, the whole CETT team hopes that you and your family and friends are well.
Given the evolution of COVID-19, the health and university authorities have extended until November 12 the measures that reduce face-to-face activity in the theoretical classes of the degrees with the aim of reducing the mobility of the students.
At CETT we follow the recommendations of the authorities in order to help contain the spread of COVID-19 and, during this period, the online teaching of undergraduate students will continue.
Face-to-face practical and research activities will be maintained as far as possible, following the protection measures established by the current protocols.
The teaching model implemented at CETT is prepared to adapt to the evolution of the pandemic and to deal with contexts such as the current one, while guaranteeing the quality of tuition for all students and ensuring the health of CETT community.
We would like to emphasize the importance of being responsible at all times: only with the collaboration of everyone will we be able to overcome this crisis. Let's take care of ourselves.
We will keep you informed of any news. Thank you for your understanding and collaboration.
José Antonio Pérez-Aranda Director of CETT-UB School of Tourism, Hospitality and Gastronomy
The health and university authorities agreed on October 13 to reduce the presence of the teaching activities of university students, to reduce their mobility, between 15 and 30 October, both days included.
With this objective, CETT will adapt lectures to a virtual format according to the particularities of each training program, a scenario for which we were prepared if the situation required it. Practical classes and research activities will keep their current format as much as possible, always guaranteeing the relevant protection measures established by the current protocols. The student community will receive information about each training program through their study-coordination.
In anticipation of the possible evolution of the pandemic in Catalonia, we have designed a teaching model that can adapt to different scenarios. We are prepared to do so to guarantee the quality of your training and ensure the health of the CETT community.
With these measures, we want to contribute to the decision made by the Consell Interuniversitari de Catalunya (Inter-university Council of Catalonia) in response to a request from the Ministry of Public Health to reduce the number of on-site activities on university campuses to help contain the COVID-19 infection rate by reducing the mobility of the university community.
The report by the Public Health Agency recognizes the effort done by universities and the commitment of the university community with the monitoring and the completion of the security measures adopted. In this sense, it is reiterated that universities are safe and that this temporary reduction of face-to-face teaching is to achieve a reduction in social activity, as it is the case of people's mobility to work or study.
Thanks to all for your understanding and for adapting to these unprecedented circumstances.
CETT is a higher education center whose premises and facilities constitute the ideal environment for active learning to occur and for student life to take place with the highest academic quality and all safety requirements.
It is a center that connects people, a hub that links academia and businesses and the public administration sector; we are committed to those who live the learning process as an impulse for growth and as an opportunity to attain their life goals through interaction with the environment and the people around them. Thanks to CETT’s role as a driver for change in the sector, students can live a unique learning experience which mirrors real life and enables them to face and anticipate new challenges and emerging trends.
We make a firm commitment to our community and country and we foster a constant spirit of transformation and that is why CETT adds value in order to make our sector more professional and sustainable. This is the main reason why CETT is sparing no effort to plan the new academic year ahead so lectures can take place face-to-face in the premises, with the utmost safety and guaranteeing the greatest teaching quality.
To provide the highest safety standards, our center has devised several measures to be implemented next year, for instance limiting classroom capacity, introducing staggered students ‘arrival and extending opening hours, with the aim of starting classes in 2020/21 with the greatest safety.
As far as teaching quality is concerned, CETT is facing the near future safe in the knowledge that we have reacted efficiently and exemplarily during this health crisis by swiftly adapting to online teaching. This rapid adaptation has enabled us to continue with our study programs and with the required course assignments online; the results have been positive and both students and teaching staff have valued the experience very positively. The circumstances we have lived have helped us be ready to implement a hybrid teaching model should the sanitary conditions make it necessary. This model would combine face-to-face teaching and synchronic online teaching an would require adapting teaching methodologies.
Our students are our raison d’être, and therefore we strive to continue to train the future professionals of the tourism, hospitality and gastronomy sectors. We have a prepared teaching staff, equipped with the necessary tools and teaching techniques, who will undoubtedly use all their resources at hand to be able to still deliver their teaching when and if the circumstances require it.
As a leading higher education center we assume great responsibility towards the community, but particularly towards the student community and their families who trust in us; this is why we want to reassure them that we will continue to train young talented people who have chosen this sector to pursue their careers.
We are future. #CETTisFuture
