Once Spanish Royal Decree-Law 3/2012 described the possibility of the legal figure of the training voucher as a way to fund workers’ training, Law 30/2015 and Royal Decree 694/2017 provided the relevant regulations. However, none of these laws has defined the procedures to be followed to implement this legal figure. The purpose of this paper is to provide a mechanics for the training voucher that guarantees unemployed people’s freedom to choose their training and training institution, while avoiding the information asymmetry in the education market and encouraging the creativity and quality of training options. Finally, training accreditation by means of blockchain is proposed.
