IDECAP

What IDECAP does

IDECAP – Instituto de Desarrollo y Capacitación is a Peruvian private professional education institute founded in 2012, operating from a headquarters in Trujillo and a secondary office in Lima's San Isidro district, with claimed reach across 20+ Peruvian cities. The company delivers diplomados (diploma programs), specializations, and short courses across five vertical catalogs: Educación (teacher training and pedagogy), Corporativo (occupational health and safety aligned with Ley 29783/SSOMA), Salud (healthcare and hospital management), Distancia (self-paced online), and Business (leadership, finance, marketing, and international trade).

Courses are delivered through the Aula Virtual IDECAP, a Moodle-based learning management system accessible at aulavirtual.idecap.edu.pe, which supports both asynchronous recorded content and live synchronous sessions, and is complemented by a mobile app via the standard Moodle Mobile client. IDECAP's technology stack is otherwise conventional for a regional training provider: WordPress/WooCommerce-style course catalog on idecap.edu.pe, content marketing via blog, and lead capture through WhatsApp/phone and an online enrollment form.

The business model is direct-to-consumer plus selective corporate: IDECAP charges one-time enrollment fees per course (publicly listed prices range from S/700 for a virtual specialization to S/1,500 for a 600-hour distance program, roughly $185–$395 USD), with a parallel B2B channel for customized corporate SSOMA and public-sector training. A 'Convenios' (institutional agreements) program extends the model to bulk enrollment through partner institutions across all four core verticals. Since inception, IDECAP claims to have trained 15,000+ professionals and has secured recognition within Peru's SERUMS (rural health service) framework, anchoring its positioning in regulatory-compliant continuing education.
