With the participation of professionals from public and private energy companies, universities and planning agencies in all countries of Latin America and the Caribbean has been a source of ongoing training and capacity building throughout the region, encouraged by the continuous updating of their curricula according to the progress of knowledge and tools applicable to energy analysis. For three decades, more than 600 specialized professionals.

Among the short courses include the Workshop on Energy Policy for Sustainable Development and the LEAP model, which is held every year since 2000. The same is aimed at professionals in the region with the aim of providing theoretical knowledge methodological led to substantiate and implement prospective techniques conceived as a tool for the formulation of energy policies that contribute to sustainable development. Since 2006, he teaches at the headquarters Bariloche a course on regulation and rates, where a critical presentation of theoretical concepts that regulatory principles applicable to energy industries are based, and the criteria and methods is done used for the determination of fees and costs inherent in the links of transmission and distribution of electricity and natural gas.
