EFEM
Spanish-Language Online Masters and Business Training
EFEM — Escuela de Formación Empresarial — is a Madrid-based business school with more than forty years in professional training. It delivers online masters, university specialisation programmes and continuing education across business management, marketing, finance, human resources, IT and occupational risk prevention.
All EFEM programmes are taught and assessed in Spanish. These courses suit Spanish speakers and those working in Spanish-language business environments. If you need training delivered in English, this provider is not the right fit.
Online masters programmes
The flagship offering, covering the areas most in demand — business direction and management, commercial direction and marketing, financial management, project management, human resources and artificial intelligence. Programmes are designed for working professionals, with materials and pacing built around studying alongside a job rather than instead of one.
University specialisation — Especialista Universitario and CUE
Shorter university-accredited routes sitting below the masters. The Curso de Especialización Universitaria (CUE) covers focused subjects such as business direction and management or SME management. Both carry ECTS credits, which matters if you may later transfer study into a longer qualification.
Continuing education — ten subject areas
Shorter online courses across business management, IT, accounting, quality and environment, marketing and management, human resources and leadership skills, occupational risk prevention, hospitality and nutrition, languages, and general subjects. Also available as bundled training packs, and as Cursos Superiores for longer, more advanced study.
Cursos Baremables — courses that count toward public sector scoring
A distinct category worth understanding. In Spain, public sector recruitment and promotion processes score candidates partly on accredited training, and "baremable" courses are those that carry weight in that scoring. If you are working toward a Spanish public sector post, this is the category to look at rather than the general course list.
University accreditation and ECTS credits
EFEM holds agreements with Spanish universities that accredit its content, and operates as a Centro Colaborador of Euneiz. Expert programmes and university specialisation courses award ECTS credits under the European Credit Transfer System. Students from outside the EU can request the Hague Apostille to have qualifications recognised abroad — worth arranging early rather than after completion.
Who these programmes suit
Spanish speakers seeking a recognised business qualification without leaving work; professionals in Spain and Latin America wanting ECTS-credited study; people working toward Spanish public sector roles; and anyone in a Spanish-language business environment who needs formal management or finance training.
