Vocational Training Across Fuerteventura with New Programs, Dual Degrees, and Zoned Offerings

New programs in agriculture, commerce, hospitality and socio‑cultural services expand training in high‑demand sectors, tailored to the reality of each island zone. The opening of the CIFP in Morro Jable this academic year has strengthened the island’s training network and reduced travel of more than one hundred kilometres for students in the south.

The Department of Education, Vocational Training, Physical Activity and Sports, led by Poli Suárez, will expand the vocational‑training (FP) offer in Fuerteventura next year with new medium‑ and higher‑level courses, double degrees, adapted training itineraries and specialization courses. This update is part of the new island‑wide FP map, designed to match the real needs of each territory and allow students to study closer to home.

On an island where municipalities and population centres are far apart, planning the offer is especially crucial. The goal is to bring vocational training nearer to the island’s educational community, distribute courses more evenly across zones, and respond to professional profiles linked both to Fuerteventura’s productive fabric and to students’ aspirations.

In this context, the launch this year of the Integrated Vocational‑Training Centre (CIFP) in Morro Jable represents a decisive step for the south of the island, eliminating trips of over a hundred kilometres and improving equal opportunities for accessing these studies. The new centre, which began with courses from several professional families and more than a hundred students, meets a historic demand from the island’s educational community and reinforces the presence of FP across the territory, allowing the range and diversity of training cycles to increase.

New Offerings

• Agricultural family – Agro‑ecological Production, Agro‑livestock Production, and Auxiliary Activities in Agriculture (adapted itineraries).
• Commerce and Marketing – Food‑product Commercialisation, Commercial Activities, Marketing and Advertising (semi‑presential), and the double degree Sales Management & Commercial Spaces together with Marketing and Advertising.
• Installation and Maintenance – Maintenance of thermal and fluid installations.
• Hospitality and Tourism – Management of Tourist Accommodations and the double degree Kitchen Management and Restaurant Services Management.
• Socio‑cultural and Community Services – Socio‑cultural and Tourism Animation, Social Integration, plus adapted itineraries for Basic Operations of Rooms in Accommodations and Basic Operations of Restaurant and Bar, as well as a specialization course in Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Maintenance.
• Administration and Finance – Double degree Administration & Finance with Assistance to Management, strengthening the Administration and Management family and expanding qualification possibilities across the island’s economy.

These additions make Fuerteventura’s vocational‑training offer more diverse, territorially balanced and aligned with the specific needs of each zone.

The planned expansion in Fuerteventura is part of the sustained growth of vocational training in the Canary Islands, which already exceeds 47,600 students and aims to surpass 52,000 enrolments next academic year. Within this context, the island reinforces its strategic role in the area’s push—led by Poli Suárez—for a more accessible, island‑focused FP system that reflects the reality of every territory.
