The dual system for training young workers in West Germany has attracted much attention. This paper examines mechanisms for quality control within that system: entry qualifications; standards achieved on completing apprenticeships and process control procedures, e.g. the quality/qualifications of trainers, methods for curriculum renewal, etc., and then extends the analysis of quality control to historical, legal and social system influences that support and sustain the dual system. It comments on weaknesses in the dual system and concludes with brief observations on two recent British initiatives that are intended to improve the quality of the education and training of young people: YTS and TVEI
