Methodology
This academic program offers students a different way of learning. Our methodology
uses a cyclical learning approach: Relearning.
This teaching system is used, for example, in the most prestigious medical schools in
the world, and major publications such as the New England Journal of Medicine have
considered it to be one of the most effective.
 Methodology | 39

Discover Relearning, a system that abandons

conventional linear learning, to take you through
cyclical teaching systems: a way of learning that has
proven to be extremely effective, especially in subjects
that require memorization"

Case Study to contextualize all content

Our program offers a revolutionary approach to developing skills and
knowledge. Our goal is to strengthen skills in a changing, competitive, and
highly demanding environment.

At TECH, you will experience a learning

methodology that is shaking the
foundations of traditional universities
around the world"

You will have access to a

learning system based on repetition,
with natural and progressive teaching
throughout the entire syllabus.

A learning method that is different and innovative

This TECH program is an intensive educational program, created from scratch,
which presents the most demanding challenges and decisions in this field,
both nationally and internationally. This methodology promotes personal and
professional growth, representing a significant step towards success. The case
method, a technique that lays the foundation for this content, ensures that the
most current economic, social and professional reality is taken into account.

Our program prepares you to face new

challenges in uncertain environments
and achieve success in your career”

The case method has been the most widely used learning system among the world's
leading Information Technology schools for as long as they have existed. The case
method was developed in 1912 so that law students would not only learn the law
based on theoretical content. It consisted of presenting students with real-life, complex
situations for them to make informed decisions and value judgments on how to resolve
The student will learn to solve them. In 1924, Harvard adopted it as a standard teaching method.

activities and real cases. course, students will be presented with multiple real cases. They will have to combine
all their knowledge and research, and argue and defend their ideas and decisions.
 42 | Methodology

Relearning Methodology
TECH effectively combines the Case Study methodology with a 100%
online learning system based on repetition, which combines different
teaching elements in each lesson.

We enhance the Case Study with the best 100% online teaching
method: Relearning.

In 2019, we obtained the best learning

results of all online universities in the world.

At TECH you will learn using a cutting-edge methodology designed

to train the executives of the future. This method, at the forefront of
international teaching, is called Relearning.

Our university is the only one in the world authorized to employ this
successful method. In 2019, we managed to improve our students'
overall satisfaction levels (teaching quality, quality of materials, course
structure, objectives...) based on the best online university indicators.
 Methodology | 43

In our program, learning is not a linear process, but rather a spiral (learn, unlearn,
forget, and re-learn). Therefore, we combine each of these elements concentrically.
This methodology has trained more than 650,000 university graduates with
unprecedented success in fields as diverse as biochemistry, genetics, surgery,
international law, management skills, sports science, philosophy, law, engineering,
journalism, history, and financial markets and instruments. All this in a highly
demanding environment, where the students have a strong socio-economic profile
and an average age of 43.5 years.

Relearning will allow you to learn with less effort and

better performance, involving you more in your training,
developing a critical mindset, defending arguments, and
contrasting opinions: a direct equation for success.

From the latest scientific evidence in the field of neuroscience, not only do we know
how to organize information, ideas, images and memories, but we know that the
place and context where we have learned something is fundamental for us to be able
to remember it and store it in the hippocampus, to retain it in our long-term memory.

In this way, and in what is called neurocognitive context-dependent e-learning, the

different elements in our program are connected to the context where the individual
carries out their professional activity.

for the course, so that the teaching content is highly specific and precise. 30%
These contents are then applied to the audiovisual format, to create the TECH online
working method. All this, with the latest techniques that offer high quality pieces in each
and every one of the materials that are made available to the student.

Classes
There is scientific evidence suggesting that observing third-party experts can be useful.
Learning from an Expert strengthens knowledge and memory, and generates
confidence in future difficult decisions.

Practising Skills and Abilities

They will carry out activities to develop specific skills and abilities in each subject area.
