Inkor Innovative School

What Inkor Innovative School does

Inkor Innovative School (legal entity: Innovacion y coordinacion en estrategias formativas SL, CIF B75071613) is a privately held Spanish vocational training provider founded in 2012 in Donostia-San Sebastián. The company specializes in designing training plans oriented to digital transformation and Industry 4.0/5.0, operating four business lines: (1) subsidized vocational training funded through FUNDAE, Lanbide, and SEPE training credits and offered free of charge to eligible employed workers, unemployed individuals, and people with disabilities; (2) official Vocational Education (FP Oficial) programs in Madrid, including a basic degree in Graphic Arts and an intermediate degree in Digital Prepress delivered under a dual training (FP Dual) model; (3) custom corporate training with full administrative handling of subsidy and credit processing; and (4) accredited classroom rental in Donostia.

The underlying technology stack is commodity and largely administrative: a WordPress-based website (inkorformacion.com) with WPML multilingual support (Spanish, Basque, Catalan), a Moodle-based virtual campus, Intercom Messenger and Smartsupp live chat, Google Analytics, and Google reCAPTCHA. Differentiated proprietary components include a Subsidized Training Course Finder indexing 164 courses across nine Spanish regions, the Digitalízate Digital Transformation Agents curriculum (150 hours, delivered under the KITDIGITAL umbrella with Gobierno Vasco co-funding), the ActivaLan alumni employment intermediation platform, and the dual vocational training model in Madrid. The Madrid FP authorization (Code 28082605) and LANBIDE, SEPE, and OSALAN facility accreditations constitute the regulatory backbone of the offering.

Inkor generates revenue primarily by administering publicly funded training programs and collecting payments from government training credits and employer training credits, supplemented by tuition from official FP programs in Madrid, fees for custom enterprise training, and rental income from accredited classrooms. The company serves employed workers, unemployed individuals, students aged 16+ seeking official vocational qualifications, companies needing to consume annual training credits or access hiring incentive programs (Lehen Aukera, HEZIBI), and people with certified disabilities. Operations span eight campuses — Donostia (HQ), Madrid, Barcelona, Pamplona, Valencia, Logroño, Málaga, and Querétaro (Mexico) — with reported satisfaction scores of 8.6/10, an 85% course completion rate, and 81% achievement of learning objectives.

Revenue model

1. Subsidized Training Administration: Inkor designs and delivers subsidized (fully funded) training plans for employed workers, unemployed individuals, and people with disabilities.

2. Official Vocational Education (FP Oficial): Inkor charges tuition for official vocational education programs in Madrid. Programs include both basic and medium-level cycles. Financial assistance is available through Ministry of Education scholarships, Madrid Regional Government scholarships, and European Social Fund Second Chance scholarships. Enrollment discount of 10% for early registration.
3. Enterprise Training Services: Customized training plans for companies, including diagnosis of training needs, plan creation, expert-led instruction, compliance management, and handling of subsidy/credit paperwork. Revenue is sourced from employer training credits and direct payments.
4. Classroom and Facility Rental: Rental of accredited classrooms in Donostia to third parties wanting to deliver their own courses, workshops, or training sessions. The spaces are LANBIDE, SEPE, and OSALAN accredited.
