MinSup

What MinSup does

MinSup is a Peruvian professional education platform, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Santiago de Surco, that delivers specialized training and certification programs for the mining, metallurgy, geology, and mining-business-management sectors. The company operates the Thinkific-based Campus Virtual as its core delivery layer, supplemented by live Zoom classes, downloadable materials, software installers with video guides, and digital certificates with personalized IDs. Its product architecture is organized around bundled certification programs (PAEs) such as PAE Miner\u00eda (20 courses, 800 hours), PAE Metalurgia / MetSel (20 courses, 550 hours), PAE Open Pit, PAE UG, PAE PERVOL, PAE Seguridad, and PAE Programaci\u00f3n y Automatizaci\u00f3n Minera, alongside dozens of standalone courses covering industry-standard software (MinePlan, Deswik, JK Simblast, JK Simmet, MODSIM, METSIM, AutoCAD, Ventsim, Molycop, Minitab, Python, Power BI) and supporting resources such as a job board (Bolsa Laboral) and free webinars.

The platform serves working professionals in Peru's extractive industries, with content delivered in Spanish and tuned to local operational and regulatory contexts (e.g., Peruvian RSSO legislation, Sunafil compliance, ICAM accident investigation methodology). MinSup operates a self-serve e-commerce model through minsup.com.pe and metsel.minsup.com.pe, with WhatsApp as the primary sales and support channel and a corporate training line (PAE Corporativo) addressing enterprise demand. Its wholly-owned subsidiary MetSel Metalurgia extends the platform into metallurgy, mineral processing simulation, and laboratory services, while the CEOS UNI sub-brand focuses on programming and mining automation upskilling. Faculty consists of active industry professionals from major Peruvian mining operators, and the company maintains WhatsApp and Telegram community groups that provide ongoing post-purchase engagement.

MinSup monetizes almost entirely through one-time course and bundle purchases priced in Peruvian soles, with select subscription-style monthly access tiers, percentage-based promotional discounts, and corporate group pricing. Revenue, funding, and ownership details beyond the MINSUP S.A.C. / MINSUP Holding structure are not publicly disclosed; there are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, named enterprise customers, or international expansion, suggesting the company has scaled organically within Peru's mining education market.

Broad incumbents

• Platzi: Latin American EdTech platform for technology and professional courses with a similar self-enrollment online model targeting Spanish-speaking professionals across Latin America. Broader technology/business vertical, but same market and user behaviors as MinSup.
• Coursera: Global MOOC platform offering professional certificates and specialization programs from top universities and companies. Competes with MinSup at the certification credential level, and partners with mining software vendors (Autodesk, Siemens) for adjacent technical credentials.
• LinkedIn Learning: Professional development video course platform with enterprise L&D integrations. Targets the same corporate training wallet as MinSup's PAE Corporativo, with established procurement-grade sales motions.
• Udemy: Global online course marketplace with both individual creators and B2B Udemy Business tier. Offers competing technical courses in mining engineering, geology, and software, with international reach MinSup lacks.

Emerging players

• Maptek: Mining technology vendor offering Vulcan, DomainMCF, and geological modeling tools with associated training services. Represents a potential adjacent competitor if they expand Spanish-language and Latin America education offerings.
• Hexagon Mining: Provider of HxGN MinePlan and Blast Pattern Editor software used in MinSup curriculum. Has first-party training programs and could leverage customer access to compete directly with MinSup's MinePlan and blast design courses.
• Datamine: Major mining software vendor (MinePlan, Studio) whose products anchor MinSup's mine planning courses. Operates training and certification programs that could compete with MinSup's MinePlan and Datamine macro programming courses.

Regional players

• IIMP (Instituto de Ingenieros de Minas del Perú): Traditional Peruvian professional mining association offering seminars, certifications, and continuing education to mining engineers in Peru. Represents the established offline incumbent in the same ICP that MinSup targets digitally.

Direct peers

• EduMine: Online mining education provider offering courses in geology, mining engineering, and mineral processing. Closest direct competitor to MinSup in vertical-specialized online mining training.
• Crehana: Leading Latin American self-paced course marketplace serving Spanish-speaking professionals with creative, tech, and business content. Same B2C self-serve model and Spanish-language focus as MinSup, though in different verticals.
