STUCOM Centre d'Estudis

What STUCOM Centre d'Estudis does

STUCOM Centre d'Estudis is a private educational institution founded in 1973 and headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, operating under the corporate group Grup STUCOM (STUCOM S.A. and subsidiary STUCOM ESART S.L.). The institution delivers government-concerted vocational training (Cicles Formatius) at intermediate (CFGM) and higher (CFGS) levels across five professional areas — IT and Communications, Administration and Business Management, Healthcare, Commerce and Marketing, and Social Services — alongside the ESART artistic baccalaureate offering with international BTEC dual certification. It serves a primarily B2C student base aged 16–25, with secondary segments in adult professional upskilling (Master's FP in Cybersecurity, AI/Big Data, SEO/SEM, and Digital Content), unemployed workers via SOC-subsidized occupational courses, and corporate clients through customized training solutions.

The technical backbone is the proprietary Campus Online learning management platform (aula.stucom.com), which provides enrolled students with digital access to coursework, materials, and resources, supplemented by online distance-learning vocational tracks. STUCOM holds a stack of regulatory and quality credentials that materially shape its market position: AENOR ISO 9001:2015 certification, homologation and concerted status from the Generalitat de Catalunya, the July 2024 Integrated Professional Training Centre accreditation, and the January 2025 VET Accreditation for Erasmus+. The institution operates two physical campuses in Barcelona — the original Pelai center and the 3,400m² Còrsega facility inaugurated in April 2023 in the Gràcia district — and distributes courses through direct enrollment, online pre-registration, school-company partnerships, and international mobility.

Revenue is generated principally through recurring tuition fees for multi-year CFGM/CFGS and Master's FP programs, supplemented by corporate training contracts and fully subsidized government (SOC) occupational courses. The go-to-market is event-driven, anchored by open days, the Saló de l'Ensenyament education fair, and digital content marketing across web, blog, and major social platforms. The institution employs 51–100 staff and claims 20,000+ alumni cumulatively across five decades, providing brand and network depth in the Catalan vocational education market.
