CERTIFICATES, CREDENTIALS & CREDITS

VGTECH equips learners with vital business and technological knowledge, applicable skills, and resume-worthy accolades. Each program offers varying levels of certification—from development corporative credits, credential of Readiness, to a Master Corporate Degree. The documents, certificates and academic titles issued by VGCTECH are valid at the business and corporate level. These credentials guarantee the professional skills of the executives who approved the audit processes.

These corporate documents are not valid for government controls in countries with formal education controlled by the state and therefore cannot be validated for obtaining academic degrees in university organizations.

Corporate documents comply with international information transparency standards, so they will be listed publicly for all entities that wish to verify their international validity. At the end of the corporate audit process, the participant will obtain the digital credential in the corporate master's degree in the program they have approved. In the event that the executive wants the documents in physical form, they must provide the necessary information for the corresponding courier delivery and pay $100 to cover the operational and administrative costs for home delivery.

At VGTECH - VGCORP Institute of Technology, we keep records for our participants that describe and document their work and progress. These education records generally include items such as address, admissions records, enrollment status, course grades, reports and evaluations, completion of requirements and progress toward the credential, records of disciplinary actions, and other correspondence with or about the student.
