Learning Center

ACE's learning environment brings together courses, pathways, activities and completion records, with a single account for the whole ecosystem.

Learning Center

The first courses are in preparation.

Course documentation will be published after review. No course, cohort, price or date has been registered yet. If you would like to be notified when the catalogue opens, register your interest; consent is separate from the newsletter.

The experience

What you will find when you sign in

Pathways organised by case

Pathways with objective, audience, level, prerequisites, estimated time and completion criteria declared on the entry page.

Progress and resumption

Your progress is saved; you pick up where you left off, in any language of the platform.

Activities with feedback

Quizzes, scenario analyses and reviewed submissions, with criteria published before the activity.

Verifiable records

Participation or completion credentials with a verification identifier and a scope note. They do not confer an academic degree or professional licence.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to see the catalogue?

No. The catalogue is public. An account is required to enrol, save progress and obtain completion records.

Will the courses be paid?

No decision has been published yet. When there is one, price, included content and completion method will be stated before enrolment.

In which languages?

Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish and English, with academic equivalence between versions.

Where to start

Choose by intention, not by department

Consulting and exploring have the lowest possible barrier: you only create an account to save progress, submit an activity or request a named record. Each door below leads to the same collection by a different path.

I want to start

Vocabulary, fundamentals and first practices. Start with the methodology and the glossary.

I need to do something

Guides with starting conditions, sequence, verification and stop conditions: tools and scripts.

I have a problem

Diagnosis by signs, hypotheses and referral: the case structure organises the reasoning.

I want to compare alternatives

Explicit criteria, constraints and conflicts of interest: evidence grid and library.

I want to improve a process

Practice record with initial state, execution, evidence and learning: practice record.

I need to look up a reference

Stable definitions and sources with access dates: glossary and evidence library.

I want to record a completion

Records of participation, completion and demonstrated practice, with a public verification page: verify a credential and credentials policy.

Depth

Complexity levels, not professional titles

The numbers identify the internal complexity of the collection. They are not equivalent to schooling, degree, profession or licence. You may consult content at different levels according to your need, and not every pathway needs to reach level 500.

What every pathway declares

Mandatory entry sheet

Every published pathway states an objective with an observable action, audience, level, prerequisites, estimated dedication (editorial guidance, not measured time), structure, activities, required materials, completion criteria, type of record and limits. It also states whether there is a cost, supervision, evidence review or self-declaration only. Every item has a responsible person, version, review date and status: current within scope, review needed, restricted use, superseded, historical or suspended.
