The Secretary of Public Education of Mexico(SEP) has renewed the Education Code article 286, enabling life experience degrees made by the SEP itself enabling "the accreditation of knowledge acquired in a self-taught manner or from work experience" "and thus obtain your certificate of study or
professional degree".
The procedure is to send your CV to an "accredited institution" and make a portfolio on a 3 month courseand have a CURP (Mexican Photo ID).
I think this opens the door to fraudulent institutions claiming to be acredited to make these degrees.

Giving the ceneval link a look. I have experience taking one of the Ceneval exams years ago and felt it was a well-rounded exam that asked good questions that require knowledge of the field. Luckily at least the Ceneval is being clear that they don't offer this option for regulated degrees like Medicine or most other healthcare degrees. Seems like you can just show up, send transcripts for at least 2 years of regulated degrees such as Law or Accounting and make two payments.
The written exam costs 2500 mxn (approx 150 USD), you must then do an oral exam that costs a hefty 18,000 mxn (approx 1100 usd). Both exams can be done online 3 times a year. March-August-December.
The website mentions the study guide suggested books. It seems to be an interesting approach. Could be a viable option for people that have good mastery of degrees like economics, computer science or marketing. Tourism is another degree that doesn't demand prior college credit. I am wondering how brutal the oral exams are. Expect 5 college admins to be grilling you nonstop for 4 hours about absolutely anything within the selected study topics. You better be very good at speaking Spanish. This option mught be an option for people that never graduated because they didn’t have free time to do the government social service which takes huge heaps of time and you aren’t paid for it in many instances.
