Higher Vocational Training

The admissions process for ESDI’s Higher Vocational Training Programmes (CFGS) is designed to understand each candidate’s profile, motivation, and creative potential. To be admitted, you must meet one of the established official entry requirements and complete an online creative assessment. Once you pass the assessment, you will receive an admissions letter and can then reserve your place.

International students must hold a qualification recognised for admission to the Spanish education system or have begun the process of having it recognized. Like all other applicants, they will have to take the entrance exam and complete the enrollment process. The ESDI Admissions team supports students throughout the entire process to facilitate their integration.

ESDI offers various payment methods and financing options to make studying more accessible. Terms and conditions may vary depending on the program and academic year. Therefore, we recommend contacting the Admissions Department for up-to-date information on available options.

In contrast, a Bachelor’s Degree is an official university qualification lasting four years and worth 240 ECTS credits, with a more academic and theoretical-practical focus that opens access to postgraduate studies.

No prior experience in design or fashion is required to enroll in an ESDI Higher Vocational Training Programme. The most important thing is to have motivation, creative curiosity, and meet the established academic entry requirements. The entrance exam is designed to assess creative potential, not prior technical knowledge.
