 Uses and misuses of work-study training 
The initial training in education given at the SFUVET is a dual program that is carried out besides a job. The people in training do not carry out an internship, but actually work alone in a classroom four days a week, the 5th day being devoted to didactical and pedagogical training in the Higher Education Institution. The teachers at this institution clearly show their desire to adopt effective work-study training in terms of professionalization and are united behind the conviction that individual or small group « accompagnement », supporting the analysis of practices, is a modality to be favoured. Thus, between our three training sites (Zollikofen, Lugano and Lausanne), a variety of « accompagnement » and supervision practices have been developed. But which training methods are really used in these different systems, and which specific pedagogy methods of the alternation ? As part of an ongoing research project, we are conducting an analysis of types of « accompagnement » encountered in this institution. Under identical names, the practices vary greatly from one teacher to another, which naturally impacts the people in trainings’ feelings and experiences. The few comments made by students in this work clearly demonstrate this. The first elements are used here, in the form of a case study, to better illustrate what we can call dual training.
