What CETYS.ORG does

CETYS - Asociación Educativa de Tecnología is a Peruvian non-profit educational association founded in 2013 and headquartered in Lima, operating as a regional integration hub between global technology brands and Latin American educational institutions. The organization delivers three flagship academy programs—Cisco Networking Academy (networking, cybersecurity, programming, and AI certifications such as CCNA, CCNP, CyberOps, Python, and DevNet), Microsoft Global Training (Microsoft 365, Teams, Copilot, Azure AI, and educator professional development), and Google Lab (Google for Education, Workspace, Classroom, Gemini AI, and Google for Nonprofits licensing)—alongside multi-purpose Technology Labs and Hub infrastructure covering networking, cybersecurity, AI, cloud computing, IoT/domotics, smart classroom, smart campus, and smart city use cases.

Underlying the offering is a multi-vendor technology platform rather than proprietary IP: CETYS holds official designations as a Cisco Academy Support Center (ASC) and Instructor Training Center (ITC), a Microsoft Global Training Partner, and a Google Lab facilitator, and acts as the regional channel that integrates Cisco, Microsoft, and Google curriculum, certification pathways, and lab infrastructure into local institutions. The product portfolio is layered—Cisco ASC/ITC services, corporate and institutional training, digital transformation consulting, Open Innovation and Emprende CETYS hackathons/bootcamps, and impact donations—positioned as an integrated ecosystem under one organizational umbrella.

CETYS generates revenue primarily through professional services (bespoke training programs, lab design and implementation, and digital transformation consulting), supplemented by certification examination and licensing streams and impact donations. The go-to-market is direct and sales-led via WhatsApp (+51 976 108 524), email ([email protected]), and the cetys.org website; pricing is quote-based with no public price list, and every institutional engagement is a customized project. Customer segments span universities and institutes, K-12 schools (colegios), public sector entities, and NGOs across Latin America, with a stated mission of digital divide reduction rather than profit maximization.
