Nanfor Iberica

What Nanfor Iberica does

Nanfor Iberica is a privately held technology training company founded in 1985 and headquartered in Madrid, Spain. It is positioned as the Microsoft training partner with the longest trajectory in Spain and operates as a Microsoft Solutions Partner across six solution areas (Modern Work, Security, Business Applications, Azure Infrastructure, Digital & App Innovation, Data & AI). The company has been recognized twice as Best Learning Partner in Spain (2020, 2022) and won the IAMCP 2024 EMEA Advisor award. Its customer base includes enterprises and public-sector organizations such as IBM, Canal Isabel II, Iberostar, Inetum, CEVA Logistics, Kongsberg, Bull, Fermax, and CEAC, alongside individual professionals and SMBs.

Nanfor's core offering is a portfolio of official certification training courses and corporate training services, centered on Microsoft technologies (Azure, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Microsoft 365, Security, and AI), Linux LPI, ITIL, Scrum/SixSigma, and cybersecurity (CertJoin). It maintains 60+ official Microsoft courses, delivered exclusively by Microsoft Certified Trainers. Proprietary technology includes a Moodle-based virtual classroom with Microsoft Copilot integration, the LaaS (Learning As A Service) subscription platform for continuous workforce development, the Nanfor Copilot student-assistance chatbot, the Smart Cert AI exam-readiness tool, and the Hybrid Learning Methodology that combines Microsoft Learn self-paced content with personalized human tracking and biweekly progress reports. Additional sub-brands include Nanfor Copilot Academy, TransformIA 360 (an AI implementation consulting service), CertifySure Pro, and ExamMaster Duo.

The business model combines six revenue streams: individual course and exam voucher sales through a Shopify-based e-commerce platform, corporate training programs (often FUNDAE-subsidized for Spanish companies), LaaS annual subscription licensing, professional consulting for AI adoption and digital transformation, and SCORM content publishing for third-party LMS platforms. Distribution operates through direct enterprise field sales, inside sales, the Microsoft Partner Network channel, event-driven marketing (bootcamps, webinars, certification sessions), and an international partnership with Executive Train Mexico extending the footprint into Spanish-speaking markets. Pricing spans promotional exams at $39, standard exams at $89-$147, exam replay bundles at $203, and annual LaaS licenses, with FUNDAE subsidies materially lowering effective enterprise cost.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Skillsoft: Major enterprise learning platform with broad technology, leadership, and compliance content including Microsoft certification tracks. Comparable because they sell subscription learning to the same corporate audiences Nanfor targets, but at much larger scale and with broader catalog scope.
• Udemy Business: Large-scale online learning marketplace with a substantial catalog of Microsoft, cloud, and IT certification courses sold to enterprises and individuals. Comparable to Nanfor in the corporate IT upskilling use case, but competing via self-paced marketplace content rather than instructor-led live training.
• Coursera: Global online learning platform offering professional certificates, certifications, and degree programs including Microsoft, AWS, and Google credentials. Comparable in audience and certification focus, though operating as a global digital platform versus Nanfor's instructor-led regional model.

Direct peers

• Fast Lane: Global Microsoft-authorized training partner offering the same official Microsoft, Azure, AI, and security certification courses as Nanfor. Directly comparable because both are MCT-led, Microsoft Solutions Partner Training Services organizations competing for the same vendor-authorized course revenue.
• QA Limited: UK-based technology training provider offering Microsoft, cloud, and cybersecurity certification courses with both individual and corporate tracks. Comparable to Nanfor because they run an MCT-led, vendor-authorized training model with similar course catalog and audience.
• Global Knowledge: Large international IT training company delivering Microsoft, Cisco, AWS, and other vendor certifications. Comparable because they operate the same authorized-training business model as Nanfor, with corporate training programs and instructor-led certification prep.
• New Horizons Computer Learning Centers: Worldwide IT training franchise network offering Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA, and other certification courses. Comparable to Nanfor because they target the same individual and corporate learners with vendor-authorized certification training programs.

Regional players

• Cegos: Large European training and consulting group with significant presence in France and Spain, covering IT, management, and digital transformation training. Comparable to Nanfor as a regional IT and corporate training competitor in Iberian and broader European markets.

Emerging players

• Pluralsight: Large-scale online technology skills platform offering video-based learning across cloud, AI, security, and developer tracks including Microsoft technologies. Comparable to Nanfor in audience (IT professionals, corporate training) but competes via self-paced digital content versus Nanfor's MCT-led live and hybrid delivery.
