Frequently asked questions

What is Latam Business School (LBS) and who is it for?

Latam Business School (LBS) is an online business school focused on Human Resources, Compensation and executive leadership for Latin America. It serves working leaders —VPs, Directors, Managers and HiPos in HR, Talent, Total Rewards and Finance— who want applicable training, not theory. Its hallmark is real practice: a faculty of active leaders and former partners of global firms, with peer calibration across the region.

How valid and recognized is the LBS certificate?

The value of an LBS certificate comes from its authority in the market, much like credentials from firms such as McKinsey or Mercer: it carries weight through the reputation of who issues it, the real practice it certifies, and its recognition among the region's HR leaders. It is not an academic degree or a university accreditation; it is an executive professional credential proving you master the frameworks and solved a real project. Every certification includes a verifiable digital badge.

Does the credential include a verifiable digital badge?

Yes. Upon completing your program you receive a verifiable digital credential you can share on LinkedIn and in your professional signature. Anyone can confirm its authenticity online, making it public, permanent proof of the capabilities you developed.

What are the classes like? What is the Flipped Classroom model?

Programs are 100% online and run on a Flipped Classroom model: you consume the theory at your own pace (asynchronous self-study) and live sessions are reserved entirely for debate, case resolution and applying frameworks to your reality. These are not lectures: the program works as a guided consultancy project where you bring a real challenge from your organization.

How is LBS different from a traditional university?

A traditional university teaches theory with career academics and grants degrees. LBS does the opposite: it trains with active leaders and former partners of global firms, delivering applicable capabilities from day one. We don't aim for an academic title; we aim for you to leave with judgment, network and a real project solved. It's an executive, practice-oriented school focused on business impact, not academic accreditation.

Who teaches the programs?

The faculty is made up of active practitioners —regional leaders running the function in top-tier organizations— and former partners of global consulting firms. These are profiles that combine methodological rigor with real implementation experience in LATAM, not career academics. Assigned facilitators are confirmed per cohort.

What language are they taught in and which countries do they serve?

Programs are taught in Spanish and designed for all of Latin America. Cohorts bring together leaders from Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Central America and the rest of the region, providing cross-border peer calibration. The credential is recognized across LATAM markets.

How do I enroll or talk to Admissions?

Message us on WhatsApp and an Admissions Director replies directly: they build a personalized proposal with you, confirm the next cohort date and answer your questions. You can start the conversation from the WhatsApp button on any page or by requesting information in the form of the program you're interested in.

About the programs

What are the HR360 diplomas and certifications?

HR360 is LBS's family of executive diplomas and certifications for strategic HR: it includes Compensation & Benefits, People Analytics, HR Business Partner, Organizational Design & Development, Talent Acquisition, Labor Relations, AI & Digital HR, Learning & Development and Employee Experience. All are online, under a Flipped Classroom model, and close with a project applied to your own organization.

How long are the HR diplomas and what does the final project involve?

Most HR360 diplomas last around 2 months; longer programs such as Compensation & Benefits or People Analytics run around 3 months, and there are 8-week certifications. Each program culminates in a final project: not academic, but a concrete solution to a real challenge in your company, which you defend before a faculty panel.

How much do the HR programs cost? What certification do I receive?

Upon completing the program you receive the corresponding verifiable digital credential, integrated into the HR360 curriculum and recognized across Latin America. The 8-week executive certifications have a reference price of USD 750; for the diplomas, an Admissions Director builds a personalized proposal based on your case and the cohort. Message us on WhatsApp for details.

What is the Sales Compensation Diploma and how long is it?

The Sales Compensation Diploma & Certification is a 6-week live online program centered on hard skills: designing sales incentive plans, data modeling and governance, and the engineering behind a sound variable-pay scheme. It's executive-level and taught in Spanish.

Who is Sales Compensation for and what do I take away?

It's designed for Compensation, HR, Finance and Sales Operations professionals who design or audit sales incentive plans. You take away the technical ability to build, model and govern a commissions plan from scratch, plus the LBS verifiable digital credential. It's an analytical hard-skills program, not general theory.

What are the on-demand leadership programs and when do they start?

LBS leadership programs —such as Power Skills for Leaders and Productivity with Gemini for Leaders— are 100% online and on-demand: you start anytime, without waiting for a cohort, and progress at your own pace with applied content you take straight to your role. The Admissions team confirms your access and builds a tailored proposal.

How does on-demand leadership differ from cohort-based diplomas?

HR360 and Sales Compensation diplomas run with a cohort and live peer-debate sessions; leadership programs are on-demand, with immediate start and self-paced. Choose on-demand if you need to start now and build leadership skills without a fixed schedule; choose a cohort diploma if you want peer calibration and the final project defended before the faculty.

About the summits

What are the LBS summits and who are they for?

LBS hosts boutique strategy summits for senior HR and Compensation leadership: the HR Summit (The State of AI in HR) and the Compensation & Benefits Summit (Total Rewards Summit). They are aimed at VPs, CHROs, Directors and Managers of HR, Total Rewards and Finance who define their organizations' talent strategy.

What does it mean that the summits are Vendor-Free?

Vendor-Free means there are no sales pitches: no consulting or software is sold from the stage. Panels are real peer debates and strategy cases without commercial bias. That's what sets LBS summits apart from massive expos: strategy only, for senior leadership.

How much does it cost to attend an LBS summit?

The Compensation & Benefits Summit (Total Rewards Summit) has a public price of USD 1,200 per attendee, with preferential rates for groups and corporate delegations and tickets transferable to a colleague in your organization. To confirm the current price for each edition and group options, the Admissions team prepares your proposal.

In which cities and on what dates are the summits held?

The summits are a city tour across the region's main talent hubs (for example Mexico City, Miami, Panama City, Querétaro, Monterrey and Guadalajara). Each edition has its own city, venue and date. Since dates and seats change per edition, the Admissions team confirms the current edition, the exact venue and availability.

Are the summits in-person or online?

The summits are in-person experiences at executive venues in each host city, designed for deep strategic work and high-level peer networking —including private lounges, curated lunches and corporate visits. The Admissions team confirms the format and details of each edition.
