The world, a user manual.
Explore VOCE courses at your own pace, from artificial intelligence to health and culture. Each module offers a concrete objective, an exercise and references to deepen your understanding and sharpen your judgement.
VOCE’s patronage draws on the legacy of the Medici: supporting creativity and sharing knowledge. The association offers these short courses free of charge. In-depth training will be provided through a separate paid offer.
This English edition contains the 16 historical written courses. The French catalogue also lists 104 introductory capsules in development; those capsules are not yet translated. Independent scientific review and educational pilots remain pending.

Read the explanation
Welcome to VOCE courses. Choose a course from the catalogue: it will open on a dedicated page. Read the objective and the explanation, then work on the proposed case before opening the answer. Each course contains fewer than five thousand characters, along with its references. You can follow the ten steps of the first track, or start with the subject useful to your company. For training centres, the evaluation criteria indicate what the participant must be able to do. The themes of the future Campus are presented separately from the courses already available. They will also cover gigafactories, robotics, and the light workforce.

A demonstrator that you can examine
The first track presents ten observable objectives, written courses, and reasoned answers. Each course indicates an evaluation criterion and a production to be kept.
A center can use it for autonomous reading with guided correction, then adapt the situations to its participants' professions.
Verify acquired skills
Before the track, collect a justified decision on a case. After the track, propose a different case of comparable difficulty. A deferred exercise allows for examining reuse.
Pedagogical results will be documented during a pilot. The demonstrator does not claim any external certification.
