Revenue model

1. Private Training Courses: Revenue from paid professional training courses offered to individuals and private organizations. Course fees range from €90 to €375 depending on the course duration and type. Examples include Excel Avanzado (€150, 20 hours), Community Manager (€300, 40 hours), Teleformación tutoring (€375, 50 hours), Leadership (€225, 30 hours).
2. Subsidy Management for Companies: Escuela de Formación SEM charges companies for managing their training credit (crédito formativo) with FUNDAE, including advisory services and organizing required training. The service is free to companies as it is offset against their annual training credit.
3. Personnel Selection Services for Businesses: Fee-based service where the company performs candidate sourcing, screening, interviewing, and placement for businesses — with particular focus on filling training contract positions. Revenue is generated through the savings businesses realize via training contracts.
4. Upcoming Hospitality Training Center: A new specialized hospitality training center is planned for opening at Calle Daoiz y Velarde, 20. This represents a future revenue stream through hospitality-focused professional courses.
