Description
Private sector economic units primarily dedicated to providing practical, technical, or profession-specific programs for the training of specialized or advanced technicians, such as technological universities offering technological education, and schools for training advanced technicians in tourism, aviation, nursing, imaging, podiatry, etc. Admission to these institutions requires prior completion of high school or its equivalent. The certification awarded by the school allows graduates to enter the job market or access higher education institutions through a credit transfer process. These economic units offer their services through a traditional classroom system (fully in-person education, using a set format, defined in a specific time and place for students and teachers), an open system (blended learning, where students determine their own study time and subjects, studying independently but attending scheduled advising sessions at the campus), or a distance learning system (where students work online in a digital environment using new technologies).
