Lezione-online is an Italian asynchronous online learning marketplace operated by Web Lab Group Srl a Socio Unico and headquartered in Collazzone (Perugia), Umbria. Founded in 2013, the platform offers 800+ pre-recorded video courses across 17+ categories — including IT, languages, business, marketing, administration, arts, beauty, event planning, food & beverage, sports, and personal development — accessible 24/7 on any device with no time limit or expiration on course access. The company reports approximately 1,800 daily active students and a network of 400+ independent contributing instructors. It is accredited by the Italian Ministry of Education (MIM, formerly MIUR) under Direttiva 170/2016 and holds UNI ENI ISO 9001:2015 certification for online training design and delivery.

The business operates a multi-channel monetization model built around a WordPress-based LMS. Revenue comes from one-time individual course purchases (priced from free to over 200 EUR, with 25% promotional discounts observed), revenue sharing with 400+ independent instructors, corporate and institutional licensing, and field sales to public administrations and universities. Distribution channels include the lezione-online.it storefront, integration with Italian government education vouchers (Carta del Docente, Carta Cultura Giovani e Merito), resale through corporate welfare platforms Edenred and Jointly, and direct relationships with institutions such as the University of Turin and various government ministries, provinces, and municipalities. Supporting platform features include instructor chat (Tutoraggio), a certificate verification service (verifica-attestato), Formative Paths (Percorsi Formativi) that bundle courses, and an Instructor Program (Diventa Docente) plus an Affiliate Program (Diventa Affiliato) for ecosystem growth.

The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds, operating with a 1–10 person team. Geographic reach is concentrated in Italy, with limited but non-zero signals of broader reach via internationally recognized English certification (TOEFL) and foreign-language courses.
