It grew out of a family business that published legal books and began teaching as an academy in a flat on Calle Sagasta; the company is now in its third generation. It created its online campus in 1999 and has centres in A Coruña, Barcelona, Girona, Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Ourense, Zaragoza and Santiago de Compostela.
