The Freie Duale Fachakademie für Pädagogik (FDFP) is an innovative educational institution that specializes in the practice-integrated training of educators. With locations in Stuttgart, Karlsruhe and Fellbach, the FDFP offers a three-year training program that effectively combines theory and practice.

• Lateral entry qualification: People without a pedagogical background can also qualify for a career in pedagogy.

The mission of the FDFP is to train qualified specialists for pedagogy who can positively shape the future. Important values are adult-appropriate learning, diversity and appreciation. The FDFP attaches great importance to ensuring that its graduates can act authentically and independently.

The FDFP offers elective areas such as "Responsibility – Global Goals for Sustainable Development", which indicates that sustainability is integrated into the training.

The FDFP is part of the Konzept-e network, which specializes in the development and management of children's centers and schools and follows the element-i mission statement. This network is committed to high-quality education and upbringing in order to combat the shortage of skilled workers in childcare.
