Discitur

What Discitur does

Discitur (legal name: Discitur Capacitaciones y Asesoría Empresarial) is a privately held Peruvian online education and corporate training company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Arequipa, Peru. The company operates a dual-platform virtual classroom system: a free-access learning platform ("Plataforma") and a separate paid platform ("AulaOnline"), each accessible via the web at discitur.edu.pe. Course delivery relies on live classes, slide-based content, and interactive Q&A, with a stated pedagogical approach of "aprendizaje basado en juegos" (game-based learning). The catalog is organized into three primary verticals: marketing and graphic design, industrial safety, occupational health and environment (SSOMA, including IPERC, emergency brigades, and high-risk work activities), and logistics (warehouse operations, logistics management, and supply chain).

The company targets two segments: (i) individuals from the university and professional development sectors seeking technical competencies in administration, logistics, industrial safety, environmental management, digital marketing, and human talent; and (ii) Peruvian enterprises seeking workforce training and consulting partnerships. Despite having formally defined an enterprise segment, public evidence of B2B contracts, named logos, or case studies is absent. The revenue model is freemium: courses are marketed as "100% free" with paid courses existing as a secondary, opaque offering (specific paid pricing is not publicly disclosed). Discitur's go-to-market is entirely organic, leveraging Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube (with topic-specific playlists), and WhatsApp for direct response.

Discitur is privately funded with no disclosed external investors, no management team publicly identified beyond a generic contact line, and no reported funding rounds, acquisitions, or partnerships. Operations are exclusively domestic within Peru. The public-facing website contains a number of unrelated gambling and casino footer links, which is a credibility and brand-hygiene concern rather than evidence of strategic intent. Overall, Discitur is best characterized as an early-stage, single-country edtech micro-business with a modest product surface and limited disclosed commercialization.

Broad incumbents

• Udemy: Global marketplace for online professional and technical courses with self-paced learning and certificates. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering self-paced professional courses with Spanish-language inventory, overlapping with Discitur's marketing, logistics, and business course categories.
• Coursera: Global online learning platform offering professional certificates and courses across business, logistics, and safety-adjacent topics. Comparable as an incumbent offering credentialed professional learning with enterprise licensing, though at far broader scale and without Discitur's Peruvian regulatory specialization.

Regional players

• TECSUP: Peruvian technical and higher-education institution offering programs in industrial operations, safety, and management. Comparable in serving Peruvian learners and employers with technical and safety training, overlapping with Discitur's industrial safety and operations content.
