XTART

What XTART does

XTART Formación Profesional is a Spanish vocational training institution headquartered in Alcobendas (Madrid) that delivers official Ministry of Education (MEC) Formacion Profesional (FP) programs — Grado Medio, Grado Superior, specializations, and master's degrees — across four verticals: Salud (healthcare), Emergencias (emergencies and civil protection), Business, and Tech. The institution traces its roots to 2012 under the Galeno brand and was rebranded to XTART in 2024, at which point it expanded beyond its original healthcare and emergencies focus into Business and Tech programs. XTART operates 8 physical campuses in 5 Spanish cities (Madrid x3, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, Murcia) covering more than 60,000 m² of facilities, and has cumulatively trained more than 45,000 students.

Programs are delivered in three modalities — in-person, semipresencial, and online — and built around a flipped-classroom, project-based methodology supported by a proprietary virtual campus (campusvirtual.xtart.com) and specialized simulators (e.g., a 360° ultrasound platform). Revenue is generated primarily through per-program annual tuition (with scholarships from MEC, CAM, and CARM, plus 5%–40% early-enrollment discounts) and a smaller corporate training services stream. XTART is part of the UAX / The Valley educational group and maintains strategic partnerships with Quirónprevención, Accenture, IBM/Viewnext, Dedalus, and McGraw Hill, alongside a network of more than 2,500 companies that host mandatory student internships (FCT/FFE) and feed the company's job portal.
