It also complements traditional in-person education to reinforce scientific knowledge. Additionally, it is resorted to in order to reduce economic costs.In terms of numbers, which reflect the level of interest and demand for this type of education, the University of Continuous Training has recorded record-breaking figures. Last year, there were 85,000 registrations across various disciplines, and ultimately, only 12,000 students were selected.
