Education and Training Awards 2026 | 7 Training in health and education is not just about transmitting knowledge. The real challenge lies in preparing future professionals to intervene in real-world contexts, make informed decisions, and respond to increasingly complex realities. That is the idea on which the Raimon Gaja Institute has built its academic proposal. Specialising in postgraduate training in psychology, neuropsychology, education, and speech therapy, the Raimon Gaja Institute (iRG) has established itself as an institution focused on the practical application of knowledge. Its model combines teaching, research, clinical practice, and international collaboration with a clear objective: that students not only learn content but can also apply it to their professional practice from the very beginning. The institution stems from the academic and professional legacy of Raimon Gaja, its founder and director, whose more than 40 years of experience in applied psychology and postgraduate training has shaped the project’s identity. Building on this foundation, iRG has developed a training programme designed to meet the current needs of professionals who require ongoing professional development, specialisation, and growth, without interrupting their work. Its programme is structured around official master’s degrees and master’s programmes in flexible formats, offering dual European qualifications and a methodology focused on real-world case studies. This practical orientation is one of the institute’s defining characteristics: learning is not conceived as an accumulation of theory, but as a process of professional training. The student works with cases, intervention contexts, and situations related to clinical, educational, and healthcare practice. In this way, the training becomes a tool for developing judgment, confidence, and responsiveness to the challenges that arise in daily practice. Also noteworthy is its academic structure, organised into four endowed chairs, each headed by a leading professional in their respective fields: Dr Joan Deus in psychology, Dr Javier Tirapu in neuropsychology, Dr Ismael Fuentes in speech therapy, and Dr Fermín Carrillo in education. This organisation ensures that each discipline has specialised leadership aligned with the most demanding challenges in the sector. The teaching staff also occupy a central place in the proposal. The institution defines it as “the heart of the institute.” It is made up of more than 200 specialised professionals with clinical, academic, research, and teaching experience, all of whom are linked to realworld intervention contexts. Another distinguishing feature of iRG is its international dimension. With students and faculty in more than 20 countries, especially in Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, and other territories in Latin America and Europe, the institute serves as an academic bridge between the two continents. This international community connects diverse professional realities and enriches the educational experience from a global perspective. In an increasingly saturated postgraduate training market, where many institutions compete with similar offerings, the Raimon Gaja Institute has found its distinguishing feature in professional practice. Its identity is built on flexible, international, and case-oriented training – a model that explains its growth and its recent recognition as the Best Postgraduate Psychology Training Institute 2026. Written By Raimon Gaja Best Postgraduate Psychology Training Institute 2026 In a context where more and more professionals are looking for flexible, online, and international training, iRG responds to this need with two study modalities designed to facilitate access without sacrificing academic quality or support. The HomeClass® and online modalities allow its students to study from different countries, combine training with professional activity, and access an experience adapted to the new dynamics of digital learning. But the institute’s commitment goes beyond flexibility. Its philosophy places the student at the heart of the learning process, promotes collaborative work, respects individual differences, and understands education as a tool for professional, personal, and social development. In this sense, the degree is important, but it is not the only value: the essential thing is that students graduate better prepared to participate, make decisions, and build a solid professional identity, and have a positive impact on the environment in which they work. Looking ahead, the Raimon Gaja Institute is focused on expansion based on three clear lines: broadening its academic offerings, strengthening international partnerships, and consolidating new training modalities adapted to the needs of students and professionals from Spain, Latin America, and other international contexts. This combination of experience, international focus, and a commitment to applied training has led to the Raimon Gaja Institute being recognised as the Best Postgraduate Training Institute in Psychology 2026 at the eighth edition of the Education and Training Awards. This recognition highlights not only the institution’s academic rigor but also its ability to respond to the evolving needs of mental health, education, and clinical intervention professionals in an increasingly demanding environment.
