Educalive

What Educalive does

Educalive is an EdTech company headquartered in Elche (Alicante), Spain, that operates a 100% online academy preparing students for Spanish university entrance examinations and higher vocational training (FP Grado Superior) access tests. Its core curriculum is organized around six course tracks: Acceso a Grado Superior, Universidad +25, Universidad +45, Selectividad (EvAU/EBAU), PCE UNEDassis for foreign students, and Prueba Libre de Bachillerato (20+). The product is delivered through a proprietary cloud-based learning management system featuring on-demand video lessons, periodic live-streamed classes with archived replays, integrated chat-based teacher and tutor support, downloadable materials, past exam archives, and a parent/student progress tracking portal ('Plataforma Padres'). The platform is multi-device compatible and accessible across desktop, tablet, and mobile. The business operates a recurring-revenue subscription model: students purchase 12-month access priced on a tiered basis from €199.90 (1 subject) to €749.90 (6 subjects), payable either as a lump sum or in up to 9 monthly installments, with optional third-party financing via Aplazame, Sabadell Consumer Finance, and Sequra.

The go-to-market combines SEO-driven content marketing (regional exam guides, syllabi, past papers, blog) with paid social advertising on Facebook and Instagram, a dedicated YouTube channel, WhatsApp-based advisor outreach, and an inbound phone sales team. A self-serve free trial ('Pruébalo gratis') sits at the core of the conversion funnel. Target customers are primarily Spanish adult learners and bachillerato graduates preparing for university access exams, with secondary segments including adults aged 25+ and 45+ returning to education, vocational training aspirants, and international students seeking admission via PCE. Educalive claims a >75% exam pass rate (refined to an "80-80 rule"), a 4.8/5 emagister rating with 100% recommendation, and an accumulated base of approximately 10,000 students served since its 2010 founding.

Educalive operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the iLERNA Group, a Spanish diversified educational conglomerate of 15 entities including Ilerna Online, Grupo Campus Educativo, and Universidad Internacional Isabel I de Castilla. The company holds 11-50 employees, is GDPR/LOPDGDD compliant, and is an official UNEDassis collaborator for the foreign-student PCE pathway. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, or public listings are disclosed.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Unicoos: Spanish online education platform founded by David Calle that delivers video-based STEM courses aligned to the ESO, Bachillerato and Spanish university curricula. Closely mirrors Educalive's video-LMS-led approach for Spanish curriculum exam preparation.

Emerging players

• Tusclasesparticulares: Spanish online marketplace for private tutors, with heavy use by adult learners preparing for Selectividad and +25/+45 access exams. Competes for the same end customer with a marketplace model rather than Educalive's owned-content model.

Broad incumbents

• Khan Academy en Español: Free Spanish-language educational content covering ESO through early university math, science and humanities. Acts as a free substitute for entry-level Spanish exam preparation, putting top-down pricing pressure on paid platforms like Educalive.
• UNED (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia): Spain's public distance-learning university that administers the official +25, +45 and PCE UNEDassis access exams and offers its own (free) preparation materials. Directly comparable exam-prep market to Educalive, but at zero price point and as part of a much broader university portfolio.
• Miríadax: Spain's largest MOOC platform (Telefónica-backed) offering broad online courses in Spanish from universities and institutions. Compares as a broader-facing online education incumbent in the same language and geography, though not specialized in access-exam prep.

Others

• iLERNA Online: Sister company within the iLERNA Group offering online vocational training cycles (FP) and related credentials. Operates the same parent ecosystem and shares back-office, so a related-party comp rather than a direct external competitor.
• Grupo Campus Educativo: Another iLERNA Group subsidiary providing on-site and blended training. Useful as an internal comp for pricing, course catalog breadth, and conversion economics within the same ownership group.

Regional players

• Domestika: Spanish-origin global online course marketplace focused on creative and professional skills. Comparable in business model (online subscriptions, Spanish origin, video-led courses) though targeting a different end customer segment.
• Preply: Global online tutoring marketplace with strong Spanish-language localization and exam-prep verticals. Adjacent one-on-one tutoring model in overlapping geographies; relevant as a competing paid acquisition channel for adult learners.
• Superprof: Global instructor/tutor marketplace with a major Spanish presence, including access-exam prep categories. Comparable end customer (adults seeking flexible study) and comparable geographies, but operates a marketplace rather than proprietary content.
