What does it mean?

It is free to study, but the place itself, the building, and its facilities are all financed by private investors. Here, you can study A-levels and then continue your studies at the very same Institute, as you can also pursue two different higher education degrees. Thus, if you study a career here at IAE, you will ultimately become a Cybersecurity Technician or a Computer Technician.

Areas

Technological

IAE has four technology subjects. The aforementioned subjects help to understand the entire process of a PC. The subjects are as follows: ElectrotechLab, a subject responsible for explaining and putting into practice the theoretical knowledge learned in class about how electric mechanisms work.

The last subject mentioned has three hours a week: IT Support. This subject explores all the components of a computer, such as the CPU, motherboard, hard disk drive/solid-state drive (HDD/SSD), peripherals, etc. It also teaches how to install software and diagnose errors. This is also a three-hour-a-week subject. Programming, as the name indicates, teaches programming languages and, hand in hand with the last subject (Logic and Discrete Methods), provides students with a logical way of thinking. Programming has three hours a week, and Logic and Discrete Methods has four hours a week.

Bilingual

IAE offers 14 hours of English per week, 10 hours more than other baccalaureates in Uruguay, using an immersion method. This is made possible by Steven, a remote teacher from England, and Jack, who helps students practice through daily interactions in both formal and informal English.

This approach creates an efficient learning environment. IAE offers several English subjects: Curricular English, a more advanced version of the standard subject; English Placement, focusing on grammar and language basics; English Hardware, covering physical PC components; and English Software, which deals with technical language related to software and operating systems, and many more

Full-time
