Learning Together

What Learning Together does

Learning Together is a Portuguese private training organization founded in 2000 and headquartered in Maia (Porto), Portugal, that specializes in delivering Erasmus+ mobility programs for European educators and vocational students. Its core service lines are KA1 training courses (face-to-face professional development across six categories: STEM, Digital, Inclusion, Wellbeing, Soft Skills, and Languages, totaling 114+ courses), KA2 strategic partnership projects, VET internships providing hands-on vocational placements, and short-term Job Shadowing mobilities. Course delivery occurs across 14 cities in Portugal, Spain, and Poland under Erasmus+ OID registrations held in all three countries.

The business operates as an accredited training institution, holding DGERT accreditation since 2001, ANQEP certification, and EfVET membership. Pricing is grant-funded: schools and educational organizations secure Erasmus+ grants and engage Learning Together as the host/training provider, so revenue mechanics flow through EU-program-funded professional services contracts rather than direct fee-for-service. The go-to-market is event-driven and community-led, leveraging the European School Education Platform (ESEP), partner school referrals (17 documented partners), and a network of 500+ trainers developed over the company's history. Customer segments span teachers and school staff (primary), VET students, schools and educational organizations, and youth workers.

There is no public revenue disclosure, no external funding, no acquisitions, and no IPO activity; ownership appears privately held by founder Ana Azevedo, with operational integration signals pointing to an affiliation with Sinerconsult (via the shared email domain). Recent strategic emphasis has been on catalog expansion into AI and digital education topics and on multi-country footprint consolidation.

Direct peers

• Erasmus Learning Academy (ELA): Portuguese-based Erasmus+ KA1 course provider with similar course catalog, multi-city European delivery footprint, and accreditation model. One of the closest direct competitors in the Iberian Erasmus+ mobility segment.
• EuroMind: Spanish-based organization offering Erasmus+ KA1 training courses for teachers and VET internships for students across southern Spain. Directly comparable in service mix (courses + internships) and Mediterranean destination strategy.
• Iberika Language School: German-headquartered organization running Erasmus+ teacher training mobilities in Spain and Portugal with a similar course catalog and Mediterranean destination model. Competes for German sending institutions.
• Europass Teacher Academy: Florence-based accredited Erasmus+ KA1 training provider offering structured teacher training courses across Italy and other European destinations. Direct competitor targeting the same sending institutions and the same KA1 grant-funded mobility budget.
• English Matters: Polish-based Erasmus+ KA1 mobility provider delivering language and methodology courses in Krakow and other Polish cities. Direct competitor within Learning Together's Polish delivery footprint.

Broad incumbents

• EfVET: Pan-European forum for VET organizations of which Learning Together is already a member. Not a direct competitor but the broader VET ecosystem player that shapes demand and standards in the Erasmus+ VET space.
• European Schoolnet (EUN): Brussels-based network of 34 European education ministries that operates the ESEP platform. Not a direct training provider but a key ecosystem gatekeeper that influences demand for Erasmus+ mobility providers like Learning Together.

Emerging players

• FHVOG / European Federation of Associations and Teachers (EFAT): European federation-level network of teacher training associations active in Erasmus+ KA1 and KA2 projects. Overlapping participant base and program scope but operating as a membership network rather than a course provider.
• European Study Opportunities (ESO): Niche Erasmus+ KA1 mobility provider for educators focused on methodology and language courses in European destinations. Comparable in target customer (teachers/schools) and grant-funded delivery model.

Others

• Sinerconsult: Portuguese consulting group that appears to be the parent/affiliate of Learning Together based on the email domain. Adjacent corporate relationship relevant for understanding governance and operational scope.
