Instituto Profesional IPP

What Instituto Profesional IPP does

Instituto Profesional IPP is a private, accredited Chilean higher education institution founded in 1981 and headquartered in Las Condes, Santiago. It delivers 100% online technical (two-year) and professional (four-year) degree programs in Technology, Business & Management, Social Sciences, and specialized sectors (mining, food, environment, renewable energy), plus continuation and bridge programs for students with prior studies. Programs are co-created with named enterprise partners including Google, Microsoft, AWS, Meta, Avenga, Adecco, Zendesk, and HubSpot, and supported by the Campus Virtual LMS, the RAP prior-learning recognition system, the PEL labor training program with Adecco, a 2,400+ partner company network for internships, and an exclusive Bolsa de Trabajo job portal. IPP holds advanced-level institutional accreditation from Chile's Comisión Nacional de Acreditación (CNA) valid through 2029 and reports 91.1% employer satisfaction with graduates and 9-of-10 student recommendation scores.

IPP operates a direct-to-consumer, sales-assisted enrollment model with rolling admissions across six intake periods per year. Revenue is generated primarily through tuition fees, which students can pay via credit/debit card, bank transfer, Mercado Pago, Fintoc, cash, or — most importantly — Chile's CAE (Crédito con Aval del Estado) state-guaranteed student loan program, which can finance up to 100% of reference tuition. The institution is the Chile node of Social Learning, a regional EdTech network also comprising Teclab in Argentina and Onmex in Mexico, operating under parent R'Evolution Education Group, which claims 150,000+ students and 80,000 graduates across 145+ countries. With 915 employees, IPP pursues a strategy of employability-led differentiation, anchored by dual accreditation (CNA plus industry validation), an integrated employability ecosystem, and continuous new-program launches aimed at the working-adult and career-changer segments in Chile.

2. Government Education Credit (CAE): State-backed student loans that finance tuition costs. The Chilean government acts as guarantor during study periods. IPP participates in the CAE system as an accredited institution, enabling students to access financing that flows through the institution.
