The Escuela de Arte Manolo Blahnik is a public center for artistic education located in Santa Cruz de la Palma. Its offerings include the Bachillerato (upper secondary, ages 16–18) in Arts and Vocational Training (FP) in Arts and Design, which includes Intermediate and Higher Level Training Cycles. Both the Bachillerato in Arts and these vocational training programs are official and regulated studies that facilitate access to higher university studies and allow for employment opportunities in public administrations.

In the Intermediate Level, the cycles of Interactive Graphic Product Assistance and Gravure are taught. In the Higher Level, with morning hours, the cycles of Animation, Audiovisual Graphics, Advertising Graphics, and Illustration are offered; in the afternoon, the cycles of Artistic Jewelry, Photography, and Clothing Modeling are taught. The intermediate level cycles can be completed in two years or one, and the higher level cycles in two, with the possibility of enrolling by modules and taking them over a longer period depending on each student's circumstances.

Students in the intermediate and higher training cycles undertake internships in companies to apply the knowledge acquired. The center participates in the Erasmus+ program, which allows students to undertake internships in other European countries, and has experience in mobilities and hosting visits within this program.
