Unione Professionisti

What Unione Professionisti does

Unione Professionisti, operated by Unipro S.r.l., is an Italian e-learning platform founded in 2012 and headquartered in Bologna. It delivers accredited continuing education courses (CFP/Crediti Formativi Professionali) to licensed technical professionals in Italy — engineers, architects, surveyors, industrial experts, agronomists, geologists, agricultural surveyors, and lawyers — under accreditation frameworks with eight national professional orders (CNI, CNAPPC, CNGeGL, CNPI, CONAF, CNG, CNPA, CNF), plus OAM and IVASS for insurance and financial intermediaries. The catalog comprises more than 100 accredited courses plus exam preparation, with thematic learning paths in energy and sustainability, BIM/digital design, workplace safety, property management, and personal development.

The underlying platform is a WooCommerce-based e-learning site built on WordPress, integrating video content delivery, course management, examination systems, and third-party services including Tidio's Lyro AI chatbot for customer support, PayPal and MyBank payments, Scalapay installments, and the MEPA public-administration marketplace. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time individual course purchases (€9.95 to €549, typically €39-199, with 6-month access), recurring subscription packages (€169 for 6 months, €239 for 12 months, providing access to 80+ courses), examination fees (e.g., €120 for energy certification exams), training bundles, and gift cards from €25. Distribution is overwhelmingly digital and self-serve, with marketing via SEO, blog content, email newsletter, social channels, an affiliate program, and Trustpilot reviews.

Go-to-market is product-led growth targeting individual professionals via an online catalog, supplemented by enterprise and public-sector channels through MEPA. The company is bootstrapped, holds ISO 9001 certification from BM Trada, and has remained focused exclusively on the Italian domestic market.
