Leiaut Carielo

What Leiaut Carielo does

Leiaut Carielo is a Brazilian online education platform specializing in construction, architecture, and civil engineering training. Founded in 1980 and operating from Pernambuco, Brazil under the brand LeiautOnline, the company serves architecture and engineering professionals, students, and construction entrepreneurs through a video-based learning management system built on the eadplataforma.app infrastructure. The platform hosts more than 775 courses covering the full construction project lifecycle—from BIM software (Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks), structural design tools (Eberick, CypeCAD), and rendering/visualization (V-Ray, Lumion, Twinmotion) to electrical and hydraulic project design, construction management, engineering forensics, and real estate development. Content is delivered in Brazilian Portuguese with ABNT standards compliance and CAIXA financing project requirements, addressing a curriculum gap left by academic engineering programs.

The company monetizes through a multi-tier model combining individual course sales (R$9.90 to R$22,500) and subscription bundles. Subscription plans include LEIAUTFLIX 2023 (R$159.90/month, 184 courses with weekly mentorship), Revit Class (R$29.90/month, 40 courses), Render Ninja (R$29.90/month, 30 courses), and Viver de Incorporação (real estate development). A freemium layer offers free course access with paid certificates (R$19.90). Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the website and a progressive web app, supplemented by WhatsApp sales support, a Telegram community, a podcast (Leiaut Carielo on iTunes), and email newsletters. A strategic partnership with MCF (minhacasafinanciada.com) supports construction financing education offerings such as the Incorporador 50k program.

At scale, the platform reports 356,847 students, 211,802 certificates issued, and 29,116 reviews. The company operates as a privately held, bootstrapped entity with 11-50 employees, no disclosed institutional funding, and no M&A activity. Customer mix is concentrated in horizontal personas—individual architects, civil engineers, and construction/real estate entrepreneurs—with segmentation extending to engineering forensic experts and consulting practitioners. LGPD and GDPR compliance are documented, and course content access is granted for a four-year period following enrollment.

Direct peers

• Domestika: Online learning platform specializing in creative and professional courses with subscription access bundles. Comparable in offering curated, professionally produced Portuguese/Spanish-language courses with subscription tiers, though Domestika is oriented toward creative fields versus construction.
• Skillshare: Subscription-based online learning platform with project-based creative and professional courses. Comparable in subscription-only model and asynchronous video course delivery, though Skillshare targets creative/maker audiences versus construction/engineering.
• Hotmart: Brazilian EdTech and creator-economy platform for selling digital courses, subscriptions, and memberships. Closest regional comparable given shared Brazilian market, subscription + course-sales model, and self-serve creator/operator infrastructure.
• Udemy: Global online learning marketplace offering individual course purchases and subscription plans across professional and technical topics. Directly comparable self-serve course-by-course monetization model, though Udemy operates a marketplace rather than a vertically integrated catalog.

Regional players

• Me Salva!: Brazilian online education platform offering video lessons, exercises, and preparatory content for students. Comparable regional EdTech peer with subscription model and Brazilian Portuguese content, but oriented toward academic exam preparation versus professional/technical training.
• Descomplica: Major Brazilian EdTech offering online preparatory courses and video lessons. Comparable as a Brazilian online education platform serving students and professionals, though focused on K-12 and university entrance exam prep rather than construction-specific training.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn Learning: Professional development video course library integrated with LinkedIn's professional network. Comparable as a subscription-based professional skills platform, with broader enterprise and individual reach but less depth in Brazilian construction-specific regulatory content.
• Autodesk University: Official Autodesk training platform offering courses on Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, and other BIM/CAD tools. Most directly comparable on BIM software curriculum content, but operates as a vendor-led free/paid training resource rather than an independent education brand.
• Coursera: Global online learning platform offering professional certificates, specializations, and degree programs. Comparable as a professional upskilling destination, but operates at much larger scale and focuses on university/industry partnerships rather than proprietary content production.

Emerging players

• BIMsmith: BIM-focused platform providing Revit training, BIM resources, and content for architects and engineers. Comparable as a BIM-specialized education and resource platform, though BIMsmith is US-focused and offers complementary workflow tools rather than a full course marketplace.
