What ESCOLA DE ARTE Y SUPERIOR DE DISEÑO ANTONIO FAILDE does

Escola de Arte e Superior de Deseño Antonio Faílde (EASD Antonio Faílde) is a public educational institution founded in 1987 in Ourense, Galicia, Spain, operating under the Consellería de Cultura, Educación, Formación Profesional e Universidade of the Xunta de Galicia. The school delivers two Higher Education degree programs (Grado) in Graphic Design and Interior Design, alongside three Higher Professional Certificate programs (Técnico/a Superior) in Photography, Illustration, and Artistic Cabinetmaking (Ebanistería Artística). It serves primarily Galician secondary school graduates pursuing creative-industry qualifications, supplemented by a small cohort of Erasmus+ international exchange students. The institution is differentiated by its combination of contemporary design education with traditional craft specialization, particularly in Artistic Cabinetmaking.

The school's operational technology consists of standard public-sector educational platforms: the Xunta de Galicia's Aula Virtual (virtual classroom) and Secretaría virtual, plus the CodexPro student management system. It maintains a digital presence through its own website (easdantoniofailde.gal) and channels on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Vimeo. Faculty and staff number between 1 and 10 per firmographic records, suggesting a small operational core. The school also runs the CREA Xornadas de Arte e Deseño biannual conference series, launched in 2017 and held at the Centro Cultural Marcos Valcárcel, which functions as a public-facing showcase of student and faculty work.

The business model is that of a publicly funded educational institution rather than a commercial enterprise. Revenue is derived from regulated tuition/matriculation fees set annually by the regional government, with primary funding flowing from the Xunta de Galicia's public education budget. Student acquisition is event-driven, relying on open enrollment periods, entrance examinations (probas de acceso), education fairs, and biannual CREA events. Distribution is direct through the school's website and the regional educational portal, with no commercial resale channels. The school does not disclose financial figures and is not a candidate for conventional revenue analysis.
