Coplef de Catalunya

What Coplef de Catalunya does

COPLEFC (Col·legi de Llicenciats en Educació Física i Ciències de l'Activitat Física i l'Esport de Catalunya) is the official professional college (Col·legi Oficial) for graduates in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences (CAFiE) in Catalonia, Spain. Registered with the Generalitat de Catalunya under registration number PLLEF/C-2012, the organization functions as a public-law corporation providing mandatory professional registration (col·legiació) and serving approximately 6,000 collegiate members across seven regional delegations covering Barcelona, Catalunya Central, Tarragona, Terres de l'Ebre, Lleida, Lleida Pirineus, and Girona. Its core member services span legal and ethical guidance, professional liability insurance access, advisory services across labor, fiscal, financial, technological, sustainability, and entrepreneurship domains, plus a professional directory (Directori Professional) and job board (Borsa de Treball).

The product portfolio centers on continuing-education delivery through COPLEFC Aula (training sessions, exam prep), an annual Pla de Formació (Training Plan) organized across five professional domains, summer courses at INEFC Barcelona, and specialized programs such as the CURS REDES digital competencies initiative (150 hours, targeting 2,400 professionals via the Red.es 'Generación D' / Next Generation EU program). Specialized programs include La Salut S'Entrena — an exercise prescription program integrated with the government-backed Programa de Prescripciò Esportiva (PPE), which links licensed EFDE professionals to physician-recommended exercise for patients across 62 Primary Care Centers in Catalonia. The technology stack is a conventional web platform: a public website (coplefc.cat), member-only intranet, professional directory, training calendar, complaints platform (Plataforma de Denúncies), and an ethical channel (Canal Ètic), all built as standard self-service portals without proprietary AI or ML components.

Revenue mechanics operate on three streams: recurring annual membership dues for col·legiats (full members), recurring association fees for associats (e.g., primary school PE teachers), and training/course revenues with member discount tiers. Government and EU grants subsidize the CURS REDES program. Governance rests on a Junta de Govern led by President Pere Manuel Gutiérrez and Gerent Alèxia Pérez García. The entity is a non-profit professional college, not subject to public revenue disclosure, with no parent company and no subsidiaries.

• INDESCAT (Clúster de la Indústria de l'Esport de Catalunya): Catalan sports-industry cluster in which COPLEFC holds a membership since 2015. Comparable as an institutional ecosystem player connecting sports companies, federations, and professional bodies in the same regional value chain.
