Is someone undergoing vocational training covered by national insurance?


A person in vocation training, who has been approved with respect to payment of insurance contributions under National Insurance regulations, is covered by national insurance. The entity offering the training must pay for the person in training insurance contributions for the work injury and maternity insurance branches alone, and the trainee must pay for himself insurance contributions for other national insurance branches and health insurance contributions, to the National Insurance Institute. 

A person in vocational training who also works as salaried employee or self-employed, or who earns income not from work (above 5% of the average wage), will be liable for payment of national and health insurance contributions in accordance with his status.
