Neither am I. If you want real organization in Mexico - try the Sinaloa Cartel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinaloa_Cartel#:

 

I never saw a single episode of Breaking Bad. I get my knowledge of Mexican bad guys from other sources. And of course Carlos Slim didn't learn business from criminals. How ignorant do you think I am? Sr. Slim was taught business skills and encouraged, starting in childhood, by his father - a very astute Lebanon-born Christian. Carlos later had a fine record in University -and taught there while still a student. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Slim

And I don't need to be finger-waggled and sermonized re: saying 'bad things" about Mexico. I know what you said about the country - and it's true. But I also know a bit about the Cartels etc. I'll play you a couple of verses of some narcocorridos if you like! And if you want pure-D organization - which was the factor under discussion - I still maintain you'll find it with the Sinaloa Cartel. ...That's all I got, here.

Thank you.

 

Come to think of it, no Mexican businessman I know anything about has ever been accused of criminal ties. That includes my favourite - Jose Baston, President of Grupo Televisa. He's Eva Longoria Baston's husband - and father of their young son, "Santi" (Santiago Enrique) and I think he's the coolest guy on the planet. I know women who think so, too.

Any day I can say something nice about that family is a good day. Regardless. Sometimes, you have to make your day good. It's hard -- but you gotta do it.

 

In spite of the concerns we've discussed here, I was still rather curious to dig into this so wrote to TECH directly to inquire about the vague RVOE references in their FAQ.

A representative got back to me rather quickly and explained that only their Spanish-language programs have received RVOE.

When I opened the Mexican version of their site in Spanish and pulled up a few random degrees, such as their Master in Economic Sciences or their Master in Philosophy & Values, we can easily find the RVOE numbers listed on the program pages. Those pages even contain language like this (albeit in Spanish):

TECH Universidad Tecnológica offers this Master's Degree with official recognition RVOE of Higher Education, whose title will be issued by the General Directorate of Accreditation, Incorporation and Revalidation ( DGAIR ) of the Ministry of Public Education ( SEP ). You can access the official RVOE document issued by the Ministry of Public Education ( SEP ), which certifies the official validity of this program.​

Then, they even link to the government's RVOE certificate for each particular program. For example, you can find the aforementioned philosophy program's certificate here.

Hope this helps to solve the mystery!

 

A brief addendum for further clarification:

After a bit more exploration of their Mexican site, it seems that only the Maestría (Professional Masters?) programs have RVOE. None of the shorter Máster (Diploma?) programs nor the longer Grand Master (Advanced Masters?) programs appear to have RVOE.

Caveat lector, I only looked at a dozen or so programs, out of their 10,000 listed, so take this finding with a grain of salt.

 

Greatest show of all-time, imho. I never understood the obsession so many people had with it, then I saw all the episodes on a friend's Netflix account years after it went off. Couldn't stop watching. Absolute insanity beginning to end.

Never been a big TV watcher, so something really has to catch me to make me watch a whole show. The show The Cleaning Lady is having that effect on me now.

 

I still have a 18-19" small TV - but no reception, so it hasn't been used as a TV for several years. It's a monitor for my old desktop now. Over-the-air TV reception died, when they rebuilt the nearby football stadium and then built a new high school directly across the street.

I refused for a long time to pay for three things in life: Parking (no car any more- gave it away in Dec 1998) TV reception and ....Internet. I had free access for 17 years -- but no more. I can do without TV but not Internet -- so I pay. Still firm on the other two.

I do not miss TV ONE BIT. It was an excuse to vegetate and not do anything -including think. I have MUCH more to show for my time now. Before all this, I watched a few episodes of a drama about Mennonites in the drug business in Mexico (growers and importers for resale). I managed to learn a few more words of Plautdietsch (Mennonite dialect). The Mennonites I worked with years ago weren't like those guys. Great people - including my boss - but apparently, yeah, some few do go into this business. Even up around here. Times change.

 

Then, I guess their programs are almost worthless for anyone outside of Mexico. Their FAQ page on their non-Mexican websites is misleading.

Can't be sure until someone gets an FCE. The thing is, someone has to actually take and complete an entire program to do that.

 

No, gracias. No seré yo. (No, thanks. It won't be me.)
