This article looks at in-company training, beginning with the different types of in-company training. It then looks at how in-company training programs are designed, covering the aims of the program, the bodies and staff involved, the stages of implementation, the training method, duration, timetable and various methods of remuneration. The evaluation of in-company training programs is outlined and specific support activities are discussed as well as the profile of the support team. The support team is made up of the group of people who are responsible for monitoring students' satisfaction and tutors' satisfaction with students, for making sure that students are genuinely learning and applying the skills needed to properly carry out the job, etc. The author concludes that in-company training may change the way vocational training is perceived in Spain and if this is to come about, then particular attention will need to be given to the design, evaluation and follow-up of programs, as well as to the training and resources provided for the professionals delivering them.
