In the following video (Spanish version), you can see a summary of the procedure for requesting credit recognition through accreditation of work and professional experience:

Accredited work and professional experience may also be recognized in the form of credits that will count towards obtaining an official degree, provided that such experience is related to the skills inherent to that degree.

The number of credits recognized based on professional or work experience and non-official university studies may not exceed 15 percent of the total credits required for the degree program. The recognition of these credits will not include a grade for them, meaning they will not be included in the grade point average (GPA) calculation of the academic record. The minimum required period is three months of full-time work or its part-time equivalent. The equivalence applied would be up to 0.5 ECTS for every three months of full-time work, based on the relevance of the professional or work experience to the competencies of the degree program.
