5 Progressive Certifications for Developing AI Talent in Latin America
Bridging the AI Skills Gap
In the last decade, Artificial Intelligence has transformed every discipline — from medicine and engineering to arts and business. Large Language Models (LLMs), process automation, and cloud infrastructure have lowered the barriers to innovation with AI.
However, while Latin American universities offer strong programs in engineering, social sciences, and design, the practical integration of AI into curricula remains nascent. Students understand AI's potential but lack structured pathways from conceptual understanding to building market-ready products.
AcelerIA bridges this gap with a structured route of practical certifications that integrate modern programming, applied artificial intelligence, and technology entrepreneurship.
5 Progressive Certifications
From zero to production in approximately one year. Each certification builds on the previous one.
