fedaEDU – German Business School Barcelona (formerly ASET – Asociación Hispano-Alemana de Enseñanza Técnica) is a German international vocational institution based in Barcelona, Spain. Founded in 1980, it offers dual vocational education and integrated study programmes following the German Duale Ausbildung model. The school is operated in cooperation with the German Chamber of Commerce for Spain (AHK Spain) and the South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences, combining academic instruction with company-based training. Its trilingual curriculum in German, English and Spanish leads to officially recognised German chamber qualifications and, uniquely in Spain, an integrated dual bachelor’s degree combining vocational and academic education.

History
fedaEDU was founded in 1980 under the name ASET (Asociación Hispano-Alemana de Enseñanza Técnica) to provide German-style vocational education in Spain. The first cohort began in 1981 in industrial management. Over time, the school expanded to include programmes in banking, transport, and logistics.
In 1992, ASET obtained certification from the Conference of ministers of education (KMK) as a German vocational school abroad.
