What ESCOLA ADMINISTRACIÓ PÚBLICA CATALUNYA does

The Escola d'Administració Pública de Catalunya (EAPC) is the official public school of administration of the Generalitat de Catalunya, operating as a wholly-owned government entity headquartered in Barcelona, Spain. Its core product is the "Aula Virtual EAPC," a Moodle-based virtual learning environment (currently Moodle 4.5.8) used to deliver training courses to civil servants and public employees across the Catalan public administration, including departments of Interior, Presidency, Economy, Health (CatSalut, ICS), Employment (SOC), local councils, and the Parliament. The platform offers synchronous, asynchronous, blended, and self-paced ("Al meu ritme") formats, supplemented by a Moodle mobile app for iOS and Android and a specialized "Ciberseguretat-ACC" sub-platform co-developed with the Agència de Ciberseguretat de Catalunya for cybersecurity and data protection training. The institution is not a commercial enterprise: it is funded by the Generalitat de Catalunya, charges no fees, and serves exclusively public-sector employees. Recent technical investments have included a Moodle 3.9-to-4.1 migration (March 2024) and a new authentication layer (effective July 21, 2025) requiring GICAR corporate credentials or idCAT Mòbil digital certificates. The organization employs approximately 8 people and reports no commercial revenue, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Docebo: Enterprise LMS vendor with public sector offerings. Comparable as a potential alternative to EAPC's Moodle-based platform for delivering training at scale within organizations.
• Cornerstone OnDemand: Major commercial LMS and talent management platform with significant government and public sector customers. Comparable to EAPC's underlying technology platform and could serve as a commercial alternative in the government training space.

Regional players

• IAAP (Instituto Andaluz de Administración Pública): Andalusia's regional public administration training institute, structurally identical to EAPC in mandate and operating model but serving a different Spanish autonomous community.
• IVAP (Instituto Vasco de Administración Pública): Basque Country's public administration training institution, a direct structural peer to EAPC operating within the same regional government training model in Spain.
• ENSP (École Nationale de la Santé Publique): France's national public health school offering training programs for public sector health professionals. Comparable to EAPC's CatSalut/ICS health training programs as a sector-specialized public training institution.
• EFP (Escola de Formació de la Generalitat Valenciana): Valencia's regional government training arm, providing continuing education and training to public employees, comparable to EAPC in scope and delivery model.

Others

• Moodle (Moodle Pty Ltd): The open-source LMS vendor whose software (Moodle 4.5.8) powers EAPC's Aula Virtual. Directly comparable as the underlying technology provider for EAPC's platform.

Emerging players

• CEF (Centro de Estudios Financieros): Spanish private training provider focused on public administration exam preparation and civil servant training. Comparable to EAPC as a provider of public administration training content, though operating on a commercial basis.
• European Centre for Public Administration (EIPA): European public administration training and development organization serving EU member state civil servants. Comparable to EAPC in mandate of public sector capacity building, though at a supranational level.

Direct peers

• INAP (Instituto Nacional de Administración Pública): Spain's national-level public administration school, providing training to civil servants of the central government. Highly comparable to EAPC as a peer institution with the same mandate at the national level, rather than regional.
