Over the years, its scope has adapted to the changing socio-economic context and it has become a component part of the national model for education and lifelong learning. The National Institute for the Development of Continuing Vocational Training (Institut National pour le Développement de la Formation Professionnelle Continue - INFPC) is a public institution under the supervision of the Ministry of Education, Children and Youth. Structure The missions of the INFPC fall into three main areas of activity.
