Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is event-driven (model classes, open houses, on-campus events) and community-led, leveraging the alumni network and the PUCP institutional brand for word-of-mouth referrals and newsletter engagement. The school also pursues direct institutional sales through customized training contracts with government agencies. Operating geography is primarily Lima with national reach via the distance-learning modality; the entity is a non-profit academic unit with no external investment, M&A activity, or independent capitalization.
