It feels refreshing like the old days of Reddit minus the bad stuff. People discussing hobbies, music, technology and stuff.

The one thing this place needs now is gaming discussions.

    True, in India and China, vocational training means basic computer (Word, Excel) courses, sewing skills, sixth/seventh subjects, physical work and so on. Basically empowerment stuff to get basic jobs.

    It seems it means a different thing in Western world. Interesting to know.

      Think that is something similar to University but in the middle level between high school and university.

      If I an engineer studying at the university, I am a computer programmer studying at a vocational training course. Something like that.

      Some people go here when they finish university or high school (bachillerato to be exact as for vocational training in the max level they must do the middle level first or pass a special test if come from high school directly).

          Vocational training is very flexible in the modalities.

          There is semi-presential and at distance modalities to these people who are working or cannot move to the centre.

          Maybe it is the same. I will check.

          In modalities, it is pretty similar to common courses for workers or average people and the school in this last case use to be called “popular university” or similar given that is for any person and not like vocational training.
