    METHODOLOGY AND EVALUATION

  • The work and study methodology is entirely online, allowing students to follow the course flexibly according to their availability. The main characteristics of the teaching method are described below:
  • Training delivered through the ESSIIF virtual platform.
  • The course consists of materials edited and created exclusively by professionals in each of the subjects taught. These professionals will develop each topic by introducing fundamental theoretical concepts while incorporating the necessary practical design aspects. The core of the course is comprised of PDF documentation delivered via the platform.
  • Theoretical and practical training activities through video lessons complement the provided documentation.
  • Individualized tutoring with the program's instructors.
  • Students will have access to the virtual platform for six months to complete the course. This period can be extended for another six months.
  • The evaluation of each module will be conducted online through the submission of assignments and partial projects (80%) and a theoretical-practical exam that students will take at the end of each module (20%).
