FP Tartanga

What FP Tartanga does

CIFP Tartanga LHII is a public Integrated Vocational Training Centre (Centro Integrado de Formación Profesional) located in Erandio, Bizkaia, in the Basque Country of Spain, operating under the Basque Government's Department of Education, Universities and Research since its founding in 1978. The institution delivers officially recognized vocational qualifications across six core disciplinary areas: Audiovisual production, Electronics-Electricity, Environmental Chemistry and Health, Informatics, Business Administration and Management, and Social Integration, structured across four qualification tiers (Grade C professional certificates, Grade D intermediate/higher-level training, and Grade E specialization courses). Its core technical infrastructure consists of standard educational platforms including Moodle LMS (gela.tartanga.eus), internal cloud services (hodeia.tartanga.eus), virtual desktop infrastructure via Apache Guacamole, and integration with the Basque Government's Ikasgunea educational portal.

The centre's revenue model is fundamentally government-funded: as a public institution, tuition is provided at no direct cost to students, with only a nominal €1.12 annual school insurance fee for students under 28 years of age. Operational funding flows from the Basque Government's education budget. The institution serves two primary customer segments: initial vocational training students seeking formal qualifications, and lifelong learners/adult professionals accessing free retraining and career guidance. Distribution is primarily domestic through the Ikasgunea online enrollment system and in-person registration at the centre's secretary office, with secondary international distribution via Erasmus+ KA1 and KA2 mobility programs operating across partners in the UK, Ireland, Bulgaria, Finland, Sweden, Portugal, Italy, and Estonia. Student support services include Dual Training (combining classroom and workplace learning), vocational guidance, mediation services, and the Urratsbat entrepreneurship program coordinated by TKNIKA.

The institution holds ISO 9001:2008 quality management certification, EFQM Silver Q recognition, the 2005 National Award for Quality Management, and operates the Basque Government's Ekoscan environmental management program. It is an active member of the IKASLAN consortium and Confebask, embedding it within the Basque vocational training network. The teaching staff of 58 employees delivers multilingual instruction in Basque, Spanish, and English depending on the program.
