The author has structured his work in four areas integrated by a selection of a number of books written by him during his work as an expert at Cinterfor/ILO. He attributes particular importance to the function of certifying as a means of ensuring the agreement between workers' labour qualifications and the qualitative requirements of their field of work. This is achieved by an effective alliance with the productive activity, on actual diagnoses of workers' competencies and on appropriate and relevant answers to eliminate the existing deficiencies Therefore, he indicates some techniques for elaborating instruments intended to offer true evidence of operative performance and technological knowledge required by productive functions as well as training strategies aiming at meeting the demands of the labour world.

Furthermore, he makes reference to the importance of information and professional orientation in order to enable potential trainees to make more sensible decisions regarding their professional future, thus providing a methodology for elaborating and analysing occupational information instruments meant for candidates seeking training for work.
The last two parts of the book are concerned with the process of organisation and development of vocational training; the definition of frequently used terms in the field of training; the doctrinal framework, the basis of integral training and the pedagogical technical methods directing training actions in one of the institutions of the Cinterfor/ILO system.
