Online courses

Our online courses are developed through a virtual classroom (Moodle platform) where participants can access the modules, documents, videos, and forums. This virtual platform enables the participant to attend the classroom from any location and at a time that is most convenient for the participant. At the same time, the online courses allow for a greater diversity of opinions because the participants are from different countries of Latin America and the Caribbean and because they work in various organizations, such as public agencies, private businesses, NGOs, universities, international agencies, the media, guilds, etc.
