Grupo Aranda (Aranda Formación) is a vocational training school in the Madrid region. It was founded in 1994 in Alcorcón and has more than 30 years of experience in training.

Classes are face-to-face, blended or live online.

The school specialises in professional certificates (certificados de profesionalidad), formal vocational training (FP), professional courses and preparation for public-service exams (oposiciones). Its main subject areas are:

• Beauty and aesthetics
• Health care
• Business and marketing
