What Educaweb does

Educaweb, the commercial brand of Educaonline S.L. (C.I.F. B-62257589), is a Barcelona-based online portal founded in 1998 that provides education guidance, training, and professional orientation services to Spanish-speaking markets. The platform operates as a self-service two-sided marketplace connecting prospective students with training centers and educational institutions. Its core offering is a web-based search and orientation platform listing 30,303 courses and 21,325 training centers across Spain, supplemented by cutoff score databases (university degrees and vocational training cycles), a university admission score calculator, a psychometric professional interests test (GR test), dictionaries of studies and professions, and educational content published through bulletins, monographs, the ¡Hey! newsletter, and the AhoraFP vocational training magazine.

The platform generates revenue primarily through lead generation and advertising services for training centers via its Educalink offering. When a user requests information about a course or center, their inquiry is forwarded to the relevant training center, which pays for this lead-generation service through Educalink advertising packages whose pricing is set in PDF rate cards. The service is free for individual users (students, families, and education professionals) and free for training centers to register and manage course listings, with paid upgrades available for advertising and promotional visibility. Educaweb operates country-specific domains for Catalonia, Colombia, Italy, and Mexico, and is part of Grupo Educaedu, a network that includes Emagister, Infoempleo, and other education portals collectively reaching over 50 million users. The company has 11-50 employees and joined the Spanish Ministry of Education's Alianza por la Formación Profesional in May 2021 as one of 127+ collaborating entities.

Direct peers

• Emagister: A course marketplace in Spain and Latin America where users compare training programs and training centers generate leads. It is a direct competitor and also a sister company within Grupo Educaedu, making it the most comparable peer both commercially and structurally.
• Infoempleo: A Spanish job board and employment-oriented platform, also part of Grupo Educaedu. It is comparable as a sister-company employment/education marketplace monetized through advertising and lead generation for recruiters, sharing the same parent group dynamics as Educaweb.
• StudyPortals: An international course and program search platform that helps prospective students find and compare degrees worldwide. Comparable to Educaweb in operating a structured program database with lead generation for institutions, though with a global rather than Spain-focused footprint.

Regional players

• Universia: A university-focused network serving Spain and Latin America, originally founded by Santander Group. Comparable to Educaweb in targeting Spanish-speaking students seeking university and educational guidance, though focused more on higher education partnerships.
• Miriadax: A Spanish-language MOOC and online course aggregator backed by Telefónica. Comparable as a Spanish/Hispanic education content discovery and enrollment platform, though with stronger online learning provider integration.

Emerging players

• Class Central: A MOOC aggregator and course review platform that lets users search and compare online courses from multiple providers. Comparable as a discovery-first education platform, though focused on MOOCs specifically and operating globally.

Broad incumbents

• Coursera: A global online learning platform offering degrees, certificates, and courses from universities and companies. Comparable as a discovery-to-enrollment education platform serving Spanish-speaking learners, though offering its own content rather than indexing third-party programs.
• Indeed: A global job search engine that has expanded into courses and training discovery for career-switchers. Comparable as a large-scale search-based platform monetizing lead generation for employers and training providers, overlapping with Educaweb's career orientation use case.
• LinkedIn Learning: A professional development course platform integrated with LinkedIn's professional network. Comparable in addressing career-oriented learners seeking skill development and credentials, though it offers proprietary content rather than indexing third-party programs.

Others
