Centro San Viator - Spain

Centro San Viator was founded in 1953 in the region of Enkarterri, in the province of Biscay, in a rural area where job opportunities usually pass through agricultural and livestock activity. Located in a mountainous area and with a rugged landscape, terrestrial communications present not a few difficulties that accentuate the lack of opportunities for the residents of the region.

Centro San Viator offers training from Kinder Garden to High school diploma, including Middle

Degree (EQF 3) and High Degree (EQF 5) to meet the needs of more than 1000 students working with a staff of about 100 professionals. Our VET offer includes: Retail, Car Mechanics, Mechanization, Electronics-Electricity, Child Education and Geriatrics. We offer courses for unemployed people, in order to respond to the high percentage of unemployment that currently exists in this region. Complementing our offer, we also promote training courses for active workers.

We are an entity with a strong social character and a priority objective: helping people with fewer opportunities, at risk of exclusion. We annually receive about 150 students who dropped out from other schools or who are at risk of early school leaving.

In 2001 we started working on our quality system and for that purpose we created a specific team as we realized we needed to create new working standards. After 3 years developing all processes, in 2004 we got the ISO 9001:2000 and continued to get, in 2005, the Silver Q in the EFQM system. But we didn’t stop there. We know how important is to keep all the quality systems alive and in 2010 we got the ISO 14001 for environmental management and are now focus in the Gold Q. All this certifies that all tasks done by Centro San Viator fulfil the quality standards required by the different public bodies, as the Educational Ministry, SEPIE (Spanish NA) or the EU.

We are also accredited with Erasmus Charter for Higher Education and the Erasmus+ VET & School Education Mobility Charter KA120
