How the platform works

Santander Open Academy works as a digital learning platform created by Banco Santander to expand access to education and professional development for free.

Through this online environment, participants can access courses aimed at the development of skills increasingly demanded in the labor market, with contents organized in different areas such as technology, business, languages, marketing, data, well-being and professional competencies.

On the platform, courses are offered mainly in two formats. The first are the direct access training programs, which have no limit on spots and allow starting the studies immediately after registration. In this model, the participant studies at their own pace and, upon completing the content, can issue the free digital certificate.

The second format are the courses with spots, developed in partnership with recognized universities and institutions. These training programs usually have defined registration deadlines and, in some cases, may include selection stages.

All access is done online, directly through the browser, and can be performed by computer, tablet or cell phone. After registration, the participant follows their courses in a personalized area within the platform itself.
