1. When does the Diploma start?
Answer:
The diploma does not have a start date, since it is developed in the virtual offline mode. You can start at any time, depending on your time availability. Likewise, the development of the diploma is individual, it is not required that there be a number of participants for the diploma to start.
2. Is there a specific start date or can I access it whenever I want, once the amounts have been paid?
Answer:
You can start the diploma course immediately, if you request it. The activation of the same is carried out in a time not exceeding two business days.
3. I see that in the diploma course you use some softwares. Do you facilitate the softwares? If I don't have any software, Phase2 for example, do you provide any facility to get them?
Answer:
We do not grant the software that will be used in the workshops because it is copyrighted by the Rocscience firm. We have a module on the virtual campus which will give you access to request a temporary license from the firm Rocscience. Rocscience on average takes 24 hours to send you the download links and you will be able to use it for about 15 days. The programs with a temporary license are complete and there are no limitations in their functions and they allow you to record the cases that you develop in them.
4. If one of the softwares is new to me, in the content of the diploma do you teach its management?
Answer:
Yes. Software is applied in all Diploma modules. It starts at the basic level and progresses to advanced levels. There is the possibility of developing cases raised by students.
5.- Is the modality that you apply 100% virtual? In my case, I am in Costa Rica.

6.- I have taken virtual courses and diplomas in other institutions and I have bad experiences (my questions were never answered, I did not have the support of the tutor, I had problems accessing the virtual campus, among others). Why should you trust the International Geotechnical Center?
Answer:
We are sorry for the bad experience you had. One of the pillars of success of our institution is that it is directed by specialists in Geomechanics and Geotechnics (and this is vital to differentiate ourselves from the competition). The aforementioned guarantees us to know our clients and their needs (specialized curriculum, atypical work rhythm, remote location in some cases, others). This is why the International Geotechnical Center has developed training programs that meet the needs of professionals. The hundreds of clients who have trusted us attest to this.
7.- I am a technician with experience in Geomechanics. Can I participate in the diploma course?
Answer:
Yes. Technicians, university students, engineers, masters, doctors, post-doctors and the general public related to the professional field can participate in the diploma.

Our diploma course does not grant you a degree unlike a professional career or another. Its objective is to specialize in Geomechanics and Geotechnics.

Each certificate and diploma has a unique identification code.

Answer:
The certificates do not indicate the virtual modality of the diploma. Certificates and diplomas are issued by the International Geotechnical Center.
