How FUNDAE works

Training that pays for itself

FUNDAE (formación bonificada) lets companies in Spain recover the cost of staff training against the contributions they already pay. Here is the short version.

  1. 1

    Check your credit

    Every company paying social-security contributions in Spain has an annual training credit, and most do not use all of it. We help you confirm what you have available.

  2. 2

    We run the training

    We deliver the course in person, for one team or a whole department, at our Barcelona campus or your offices, in Spanish, Catalan or English.

  3. 3

    You file it, we supply the file

    FUNDAE filings are made by the company or its gestoría, not by the training provider. We prepare everything the filing needs: the training programme, attendance records, the competency check and completion certificates. If you would rather not deal with it, we work with a partner who manages the filing for you.

FAQ

FUNDAE, answered

What is FUNDAE and how does bonificada training work?

FUNDAE (formación bonificada) is the Spanish system that lets companies recover the cost of staff training by deducting it from the social-security contributions they already pay. Each company has an annual credit for this.

How much does the course cost my company?

It depends on cohort size, but the point of FUNDAE is that an eligible company can recover up to 100% of the cost within its annual credit, so the net cost can be effectively zero. We give you a clear quote before you commit.

Who can bonificar the training?

Any company that pays social-security contributions in Spain and has training credit available. It applies whether you are a small business or a large employer.

How much training credit does my company have?

Every company that pays social-security contributions in Spain gets a training credit each year, with a minimum of 420 euros even for the smallest companies. The amount grows with the size of your workforce, and unused credit expires at the end of the year. We help you check what you have available.

Which AI tools does the training cover?

The ones your team will actually use day to day: ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot and Gemini, plus the AI features inside your existing tools. We adapt the toolset to your company's setup and policies.

Who files the FUNDAE paperwork?

Your company does, or its gestoría. The filing is made by the employer rather than the training provider, and the course has to be communicated to FUNDAE before it starts. We prepare everything the filing needs: the training programme, attendance records, the competency check and completion certificates. If you would rather hand it over, we work with a partner who manages the filing for you.

Is there a minimum group size?

Yes. We run FUNDAE-funded training from 10 participants. Below that the numbers do not work for either side, and a group that small loses the shared practice that makes the sessions useful. For one or two people, the open sessions in our public programme are the better route.

Can the training be online or hybrid?

Yes. In person is the default, at our Barcelona campus or your offices, and it is what most teams choose. When staff are split across sites we run it live online, or hybrid with part of the group in the room. FUNDAE accepts all three formats, and the attendance evidence differs by format, which we prepare either way.

Do you adapt the course to our sector?

Yes, and it is most of the preparation. Exercises are built on your own tasks and documents, so a hotel, a manufacturer and a professional-services firm each get different examples. We ask participants for their use cases before the course and build the sessions around them. That adaptation is included and is not billed as a separate design fee.

How far in advance do we need to start?

Plan on about three weeks. The course has to be communicated to FUNDAE before the first session, and the needs assessment and content adaptation come before that. Unused credit expires at the end of the calendar year, so December courses need booking earlier than you would expect.

Where is the training delivered, and in which languages?

In person at our Barcelona campus or at your offices, for 10 to 30 people per cohort, with live online and hybrid also available. In Spanish, Catalan or English.

Does the course help with the EU AI Act and AI literacy?

It does. The course produces an evidence pack (attendance, completion, a competency check and versioned materials) that helps you meet and evidence your AI-literacy measures under Article 4 of the EU AI Act. It does not by itself make your organisation AI Act compliant.
