The Professional Training School of Volkswagen was established in Puebla to prepare the technicians who would form the production workforce for the new Volkswagen de México assembly plant.

The facilities of the new Training School—commonly known in the industry as ESCAP—were inaugurated in Building 40, located inside Volkswagen de México’s assembly plant.

By decision of the Advisory Council of Volkswagen de México, the Volkswagen Training and Development Institute (S.C.) was established, making us a business unit and subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group. Its purpose was to provide personnel training and promote the development of Volkswagen’s suppliers.

We became the first official VDA QMC licensee in Mexico, establishing ourselves as a strategic partner and key reference in the automotive sector for the European and American markets.

We marked our 50th anniversary, celebrating five decades since the introduction of the German Dual Training Program in Mexico, and a milestone of more than 5,000 certified technical specialists. In keeping with the Volkswagen Group’s vision and our commercial strategy, we adopted a new name: Volkswagen Group Academy Mexico.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we demonstrated resilience by redefining our training processes. We implemented a new business model and embraced Agility as part of our corporate philosophy. These changes enabled us to adapt quickly to new circumstances and continue delivering high-quality services.
