Programs

Five paths to learn technology

Choose by what you want to do, not by the tool. All of them are offered at basic cost and start from the essentials.

How we teach

The idea first, then the term

Every program explains what something is for before naming it, and practices with Guatemalan cases.
  • At basic cost

    A cost designed so that price is not the barrier. The amount is published with each cohort.

  • Tied to no single provider

    We teach what the tools have in common: brands change, ideas stay.

  • In person, online or hybrid

    The format depends on the program and the place; we confirm it with each cohort.

All of them are in preparation. Enroll and we will tell you when the first cohort is confirmed.
