Why get subsidized training with GASMA

The public fund that finances your company's training

FUNDAE (Fundación Estatal para la Formación en el Empleo, Spain's State Foundation for Employment Training) is the state body that manages the funds earmarked for workers' continuing education in Spain.

Every company with salaried employees has an annual training credit calculated based on its workforce. That credit can be used for programs like GASMA's and deducted directly from Social Security contributions once the training is complete.

FUNDAE doesn't run training courses itself. You choose the program, GASMA delivers it, and we handle the subsidy so the process is invisible to you.

What you need to know at a glance

  • The subsidy is €13 per teaching hour, per worker
  • Any Spanish company with salaried employees can access it, regardless of size
  • It's deducted from Social Security contributions, not a direct grant
  • The credit is calculated based on what was paid the previous year for Vocational Training contributions
  • GASMA handles the entire process. You don't need any outside intermediaries

Frequently asked questions

If you have questions about the subsidy process or want to know if your company is eligible, contact our admissions team.

FUNDAE is Spain's State Foundation for Employment Training. It doesn't organize or deliver courses itself: it manages the public funds the State sets aside for workers' continuing education in Spain. You contract the training with GASMA, and FUNDAE covers part of the cost through a deduction in Social Security contributions.

The standard subsidy is €13 per teaching hour, per worker. The total amount you can recover depends on the number of workers receiving the training and the length of the program. GASMA calculates the exact savings for you before you make any decision.

GASMA handles the entire process with FUNDAE. You don't need to deal with paperwork or hire any intermediary. You just need to confirm your company's and workers' details, and we take care of the rest.

Each company's annual credit is calculated based on what was paid the previous year for the Vocational Training contingency and the size of its workforce. You can check it through FUNDAE's system, or ask our team to work out an estimate for you.

Self-employed workers with no employees cannot access the FUNDAE subsidy. This benefit is reserved for companies with salaried employees that pay Social Security contributions for Vocational Training.

As soon as you confirm the program and your company's details, GASMA coordinates the planning and the preliminary paperwork needed so the training is properly registered and subsidy-eligible from day one.
