The teaching system that we follow in the regulated studies of the Escola EFA Quintanes is what we call the pedagogy of alternation, which is fundamentally based on alternating training periods in the school with periods in the workplace.
This system follows the model of the MFR in France, with the necessary modifications to adapt to current legislation and needs.
