SENATI

Overview

The Servicio Nacional de Adiestramiento en Trabajo Industrial (SENATI) is a Peruvian training institution. Its main function is professional training for manufacturing industry and for installation, repair and maintenance work, and it also provides technical services. Its programmes are built around competencies for specific jobs, and it says about 250 business people take part in its governing bodies and planning. SENATI is not a single exam. You apply to a career (carrera) at a campus (sede), and the admissions page mentions an aptitude test and direct entry. Its site shows a 2026 admission cycle with campuses across Peru.

Levels or stages

SENATI's career lists show these durations and titles:

• Técnico operativo: 4 to 5 semesters.

• Profesional técnico: 6 semesters (3 years).

• Profesional: 8 semesters (4 years).

Careers are grouped by industry specialisation: business administration, agro-industry, graphic arts, clothing, electrotechnics, hotels and tourism, food industry, information technology, jewellery, automotive mechanics, metalworking, environmental technology and textiles. The site also lists careers taught fully online (7 careers listed on the remote careers page, such as industrial administration, logistics administration, accounting and graphic design). The site marks some careers as dual, for example Administración Industrial (DUAL) at the Chimbote campus. SENATI also lists courses (cursos) and professional training (capacitación profesional) separately.

For the online profesional técnico careers, the listing says a B1 English certification is needed to obtain the title.

Who can apply

The pages used here do not state the academic entry requirements. SENATI's admissions page has a section called requirements for enrolment (requisitos para matricularse), and separate routes for transfers from other institutes or universities and for graduates. Check these on the SENATI site for your career and campus.

How to apply

1. Apply for free on the admission site, giving your personal data, career and campus.

2. Complete the entrant's form (ficha de ingresante) and pay the enrolment fee. The enrolment ticket and form are in your application area.

3. Enrolment is completed at each campus.

SENATI says enrolment can be paid in two parts: 80% at enrolment and 20% in the last instalment. Each campus has its own admission calendar and vacancies, so check the calendar for your campus. For example, the Chimbote campus listed a registration closing date of 3 February.
