In the case of ​the Basque Country​, and focusing only in the case of VET students in an alternance regime
school/company, the documents which rule the relation between the company, the school and the student
are provided by the Basque Government. The student will be in the company, for 900 hours during the
second year of a VET programme, with a working contract or with a grant. Whichever the case, the three
parts have to sign a learning agreement following the document provided by the VET Department of the
Basque Government, indicating which learning outcomes will be acquired in the VET school and which
ones in the company, together with other content.

The relation between the company and the student can be set in the form of a grant or in the form of a
working contract (around 80% of the relations in dual VET in the Basque Country take the form of a working
contract). In any case, the training contract or learning agreement is always mandatory.

All documents related to the formalization of a dual VET contract in the Basque Country are available here:

In ​Sweden​, work-based learning usually comprises 15 weeks within a three year professional training period. The
college’s management is responsible for the quality of all work-based learning, including the qualifications of the
company mentor. Sweden doesn’t have a dual system and ​master craftsmen​ like Germany. Agreements must be
reached between the college (VET provider) and the company concerning the terms and scope of the planned
learning outcomes from the work-based training period. The motor vehicle sector has a collective agreement about
work-based training as well.
