What CIDES Corpotraining does

CIDES Corpotraining (legal entity: Capacitación y Desarrollo Corporativo SpA) is a privately held Chilean B2B corporate training provider headquartered in the Providencia district of Santiago, operating since 2000 with a workforce of 11–50 employees. The company delivers professional training to enterprise clients primarily across Chile — and with limited documented presence in Honduras — across 16 thematic areas including HR management, labor law, industrial maintenance, project management, risk, leadership, negotiation, sustainability, logistics, sales, finance, mining, IT/digital transformation, languages, digital marketing, and quality management. The customer base spans large enterprises across pulp and paper, beverages, energy, chemicals, equipment services, government, and technology sectors, with named logos including Celulosa Arauco, Coca-Cola de Chile, Enersis, Finning, and GNL Quintero.

The technology stack is a training and learning management platform supporting three delivery modalities: live online instructor-led courses via browser (Chrome or Firefox, requiring only a 3G / 7.2 Mbps connection), asynchronous on-demand courses with recorded content validated through visualization tracking, and customized closed in-company sessions. Course completion produces digital credentials and badges compliant with Open Badge 3.0, W3C Verifiable Credentials, the European Learning Model (ELM-Europass), GDPR, and LTI standards, enabling verifiable, interoperable certifications usable on professional networks. The platform is integrated with SENCE (Chile's National Training and Employment Service), allowing courses to carry official SENCE codes so Chilean enterprises can apply government training subsidies (Franquicia SENCE). The company also offers higher-priced Diplomado diploma programs in specialized domains such as mining geostatistics and maintenance/reliability engineering.

The business model is professional-services B2B training revenue generated through enterprise field sales, direct corporate outreach, and inbound via website, blog, email, WhatsApp, and scheduled online meetings. Courses are priced per-program on a quote basis with volume discounts, in CLP or USD, with all offerings VAT-exempt. Payment terms are immediate for individual registrations and up to 30 days for enterprise clients with prior agreements. Revenue streams include open-enrollment live courses, asynchronous self-paced courses, customized in-company closed programs, SENCE-certified courses (which channel government subsidies to the buyer), and Diplomado programs. The company maintains NCh2728 (renewed 2023), ISO 9001, and IQNET ISO 9001 certifications, and self-reports 3,245+ courses delivered, 39,628+ participants trained, and 3,755+ client companies served since 2000.

Direct peers

• Dale Carnegie Training: Long-established corporate training franchise focused on leadership, communication, sales, and professional development. Comparable to CIDES in live instructor-led B2B delivery and thematic overlap (leadership, soft skills, sales), though Dale Carnegie operates through a global franchise network rather than a single-country model.
• FranklinCovey: Enterprise leadership and professional development provider selling in-company and open-enrollment programs. Comparable to CIDES on leadership, productivity, and soft-skills content plus in-company closed delivery, with a stronger premium-content IP library.
• SGS Academy: Corporate training arm of SGS offering professional, industrial, and compliance courses globally. Comparable to CIDES in SENCE-adjacent compliance, quality, and industrial training delivered to enterprise clients, with a much larger global footprint and standards-body heritage.

Broad incumbents

• Skillsoft: Enterprise learning platform offering content libraries across leadership, business, technology, and compliance. Comparable to CIDES in catalog breadth and B2B delivery model, but operates at global scale with digital content, summits, and coaching offerings that CIDES does not match.
• Cegos: Global corporate training and leadership development provider with a multi-country footprint. Comparable to CIDES as a B2B training vendor selling live and in-company programs across HR, project management, and leadership themes, but at much larger scale and broader geographic reach.

Emerging players

• Coursera for Business: Enterprise arm of Coursera offering curated content, hands-on learning, and credentialing across business, technology, and data. Comparable to CIDES on catalog breadth and enterprise B2B motion, and increasingly on credential interoperability, but at global scale and self-serve procurement.
• LinkedIn Learning: Enterprise subscription learning platform tightly integrated with LinkedIn's professional network. Comparable to CIDES as a B2B content library for corporate upskilling, with similar breadth across business, technology, and creative topics, and a credential/share-on-profile mechanic analogous to CIDES digital badges.
• Udemy Business: Enterprise subscription offering curated courses across business, technology, and leadership. Comparable to CIDES on breadth of catalog and B2B delivery, with significantly lower per-seat pricing and self-serve content authoring by external instructors.

Regional players

• Capacita UC: Chilean continuing education and corporate training provider affiliated with Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Comparable to CIDES as a Santiago-based SENCE-registered OTEC offering live online, asynchronous, and in-company corporate courses, with university-backed brand positioning.

Others

• Korn Ferry: Global organizational consulting firm with a leadership and professional development training practice. Comparable to CIDES on the executive education and leadership development side, but primarily a high-touch consulting model rather than a catalog-based training platform.
