A lo largo de los cursos se desarrollarán una serie de técnicas formativas, eminentemente prácticas que posibilitarán la realización de jornadas muy dinámicas que permitan la interiorización de *** “Aptitudes” (poder hacer, saber hacer) y “Actitudes” (querer hacer, saber estar) *** que mejoren el desempeño de la labor a desarrollar por los asistentes al curso:
Actually, the whole section between the ** is giving me problems... I have considered leaving "aptitudes" as "aptitudes" to keep the similarity with "attitudes" and putting "skills" for "poder hacer", but I'm not sure whether this would work or whether it would be better to put "skills" for "aptitudes" and "ability" for "poder hacer".
Many thanks in advance.
