Training is also one of the mainstays of the progress and growth of the machine tool sector. In order to train and develop the abilities of the highly skilled staff required by the sector’s firms, AFM can count on the active collaboration of the IMH, the Machine Tool Institute, a benchmark Vocational Training Centre in Spain and University College attached to the University of the Basque Country.

On the other hand, PROSCHOOLS is a unit specialising in educational technology transfer through the promotion and start-up of vocational training centres and establishments all over the world. It is part of AFM, which currently has two vocational training centres abroad: the Chinese-Spanish Machine Tool Vocational Centre in Tianjin, China (CSMC) and the Malaysian-Spanish Institute in Kulim, Malaysia.
