Founded in 1968, DUOC UC (DuocUC, Instituto Profesional y Centro de Formación Técnica DuocUC) is the technical education branch of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (UC), Chile. It is one of the largest private technical education providers in the country, with multiple campuses and enrolment of roughly 42,000 students in 2007.
Many technology training certificates are available online. For example, as reported in a "Sun Academic Initiative" newsletter in October 2007 (http://www.sun.com/featured-articles/2007-1023/feature/index.jsp?intcmp=hp2007oct23_edu_read):
- At Fundacion Instituto Profesional DuocUC, a technical and vocational school in Chile, 1500 students use the "Fundamentals of the Java Programming Language" course materials.
