The DUAL Vocational Training in Alternating Regime makes it possible to obtain a degree in Technical or Higher Vocational Training through a learning process, which is developed in a shared environment between the training center and the company.

This model of alternate training transfers parts of the learning process to the companies, making them decisive agents in the learning process of the students. It enables to link the training in study centers and in workplaces, better integrating technical and transversal or social skills. More over, it facilitates training and work opportunities for young people, but it also provides companies, in the short and long term, with the necessary personnel with the necessary qualifications to cover the needs of the productive system.
