Revenue model

1. Institutional Licensing / Platform Subscriptions: Ticmas generates revenue primarily through B2B institutional contracts with schools, educational networks, and government ministries across Latin America. Institutions pay for access to the platform, curated digital content, and teacher training programs. Implementation includes initial diagnosis, training, and ongoing pedagogical support, suggesting multi-year contractual relationships.
2. Corporate / Workforce Training (Academy): Ticmas Academy offers digital training programs to enterprises, including skills development in programming, AI, marketing, UX, digital skills, and soft skills. Programs are customized for specific industries (Oil & Gas, energy, logistics, automotive) and delivered as B2B contracts with companies and governments. Revenue comes from per-company plans and certification fees.
3. Professional Services & Training Delivery: Ticmas provides face-to-face training, certification programs, synchronous events, and mentorship/orientation services alongside its digital platform. These are bundled into institutional and enterprise contracts or sold as standalone programs (e.g., 'Capacitación para capacitadores', 'Encuentros presenciales').
