In Armeria Eskola we want to vindicate our strong Eibar character, which is our main sign of identity. To address cookie-cutter approaches, our brand EIBAR and our motto “work well done” perfectly summarizes the role of Armeria Eskola.

We understand the educational centre as an ecosystem, because we aim at combining values we want to develop – such as diversity, vitality, collaboration, teamwork, overcoming barriers and desire to advance- with spaces, equipment and dynamics adapted to it. Knowing that our activity and nature are based on training the people and contributing to a greater company competitiveness, we want to enrich our way to carry it out and live in a dynamic, cohesive and modern society.

Our activity and nature focus on supporting people training and company competitiveness.

We have won the most important prizes in the field of education (Tie of Alfonso X the Wise, Gold Medal of Gipuzkoa, Best Work…). We are proud of the service we have provided to the community of Eibar and its environment, having more than 100 years of experience.  We also take pride in the work that our students have done so far and are currently performing as transforming agents of the economic and social reality. It is worth mentioning the creation of more than 400 companies.

We offer our services at international quality standards, our offer is ambitious and we update it constantly. We are committed to a Vocational Professional Training of quality, complex and without stigmas, adapted to the real needs of our industrial company-network, as an expression of our vocation towards public service.

History and recognitions

“Armeria Eskola (School of Armoury)  was founded in 1912 on the initiative of the City Council with the aim of promoting the industrial development of Eibar and its surroundings. Although at its origin it was closely linked to the arms industry of the time, over time it has been transformed and extended to different fields: mechanical precision, electrical electronics, design and quality management, etc.

Since its beginnings, it has maintained a close relationship with the workshops of the area and has been a driving force for new technologies. Thanks to all this, in 1981, under the leadership of the Former Students Association, the “Tekniker Research Centre” was founded.

Following the path established at that time, adapting to the society in which we live and fostering the development of the community, Armeria Eskola has become the one we know today, the Integrated Centre of Vocational Training, the public institution which offers initial training, always oriented to employment.”
