The Sistema de Preferencia Ocupacional de Carreras (SPOC) Interest Inventory is the Spanish translation of the COPS. The inventory consists of 168 items, providing job activity interest scores related to 14 career occupational clusters. Each cluster is linked to high school and college curriculum, as well as current sources of occupational information. The SPOC interpretive material emphasizes a "hands-on" approach to career exploration, featuring career and educational planning worksheets, along with a list of suggested activites to gain experience.

The Spanish translation of the COPS is available with a Self-Interpretation Profile and Guide that lists job titles in Spanish along with related courses of study and college majors. The SPOC may be used in conjunction with the Spanish CAPS.
