It's official education, here in Spain the course is called "Formación profesional de grado superior en integración social" I'm going private education (so I can study from home), though it isn't too expensive as it is in the US as we have a functional public education system private schools have to compete with. I have no idea what the equivalent of Formación profesional is in other countries.
Hope that helps!
Edit: Oh and yeah it is an actual job, at least I see it sometimes while scrolling through employment apps. (I forgor that part of the question lol)
