The VET centre is situated in Terrassa and it is specialised in the tourism and reception sectors.

In 2016, the centre started its internationalisation process with the aim to improve its educational offer through mobility opportunities. In total, 8 students (from Servicios en Restauración, and Cocina y Gastronomía) participated in the mobilities. Six among them went to Italy and France for 1 month, while the other two ones spent 2 months in Florence (Italy). Those who stayed two months were accompanied by a teacher.
