The objective of this training route is to contribute to the development of Innovation as a fundamental competence that enables the personal and professional success of teachers and students, from the perspective of adapting, adopting, creating, and sharing. This training route is composed of 4 course levels: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Professional, each of which offers an individual digital certificate of achievement upon completion. We strongly encourage you to start at the Basic Level as it sets the foundation for the subsequent modules.
