Curation, capture and academic compliance

The final formation package requires pre-collection of the participant's full name, programme, cohort, group, sizes for the apparel or thermos, dietary restrictions for the welcome kit, and any academic accommodations required. The capture sheet is cross-referenced with the institution's enrolment system and validated by the programme coordinator before piloting. Apparel is produced in 220 g combed cotton with Gütermann thread; engravings are calibrated to a constant depth on metal and leather.

Academic compliance follows the rules of the institution and the regulatory framework: VAT exemption under article 15 of the VAT Law applies to public universities and to private institutions with a recognised academic authority (RVOE, SEP agreement, CONACYT accreditation); deductibility of the formation expense follows CFF article 27 and must be supported by a CFDI 4.0 and the participant's enrolment record. For corporate universities the package is treated as a training expense under article 151 of the Federal Labour Law with the corresponding 100% deduction.

Delivery, welcome ceremony and post-event

The final formation package is delivered to the academic institution 24 to 48 hours before the welcome ceremony, with apparel and thermos ready in the participant's locker or at the registration desk. For multi-cohort programmes we deliver staggered per cohort with a calendar shared with the programme coordinator. For lecture series we deliver to the speaker's hotel or the institution's protocol office. For alumni gifts we coordinate with the alumni association and the institution's protocol office for the graduation ceremony or the alumni gala.

The CFDI 4.0 invoice is filed to the institution with a breakdown by category, 16% VAT (or VAT-exempt under article 15 of the VAT Law when applicable) and SPEI payment complement. When the institution pays from abroad, we receive SPEI from a USD account at a Mexican bank with a US or Canadian correspondent and issue CFDI 4.0 with the international-payment complement at the Banco de México FIX exchange rate of the day. Deductibility of the formation expense follows CFF article 27 and must be supported by the CFDI and the institution's enrolment or programme record.
