Salesianos Atocha Madrid

What Salesianos Atocha Madrid does

Salesianos Atocha Madrid (COLEGIO SALESIANOS ATOCHA, CIF: R2800681E) is a private Catholic educational institution operating in Madrid, Spain since 1901, delivering more than 120 years of continuous service under the Salesian/Don Bosco educational tradition. The institution runs a comprehensive educational portfolio spanning Infant (Infantil), Primary (Primaria), Secondary (ESO), and Bachillerato stages, alongside an extensive Vocational Training (Formación Profesional / FP) program. The FP offering is structured across three tiers — FP Grado Básico, FP Grado Medio (both concertada / publicly subsidized), and FP Grado Superior (private) — covering 10+ professional families including industrial automation, robotics, mechatronics, telecommunications, IT systems administration and cybersecurity, audiovisual production, mechanical manufacturing, building projects (BIM methodology), and social integration. New programs such as the 2026 Cybersecurity Specialization Course extend the portfolio into high-demand digital verticals.

The institution differentiates itself through deep integration with major industrial and technology vendors: it was the first Instituto de Formación Profesional in Spain to become a National Instruments LabVIEW Academy (2015), operates as an official Microsoft IT Academy, a Siemens Centro Colaborador, a Cisco Networking Academy, and a Schneider Electric NextGen training site (Schneider classroom inaugurated April 2025). It holds the EFQM 500 Seal, BEDA bilingual accreditation, Erasmus Charter, and Spainskills participation recognition. The 17,000 sqm campus at Ronda de Atocha 27 is described as the best-connected FP center in Madrid via Metro and Cercanías. Underpinning enrollment is a hybrid revenue model: publicly subsidized concertada funding for FP Básica and Medio, private tuition for FP Superior, enterprise training services, and internship administration revenue through its authorized employment agency (ASTI, since 2012). Theoretically 1,000+ company internship agreements and 300+ job offers managed annually through the bolsa de trabajo translate into a documented 70% placement rate from internship companies (over 90% in the ASIR program), with 70% of FP students also receiving scholarships from the Ministry of Education or Comunidad de Madrid.
