"I am very pleased to have completed, in 2018, the International Training in Public Management for Top Executives taught by FGV. This course fully exceeded my expectations. In addition to the excellent level of the professors and assistants, they provided me with many innovative tools and experiences to strengthen the coordination and support work we carry out in different government institutions which compose the Management Unit of the Presidency of the Government of Paraguay.”

"Since February of this year, I have been taking the Specialization course in Management of Water and Sanitation Infrastructure Projects at Fundação Getulio Vargas. I am satisfied and extremely enthusiastic about the experience. I am learning about tools and professional skills that are fundamental to my career in the public service. The professors at FGV whom I had the pleasure of meeting so far are excellent people and high-level professionals. They inspire respect and admiration thanks to the way they convey their knowledge and experiences. My professors are truly passionate about their specialties.”

“The Program was highly significant for my professional journey, based on the quality of the content covered, the contemporaneity of the debates held by topics, and the professional interactions provided. I recommend it to anyone who is looking into becoming more qualified to discuss or act in the public area.”

Our students in master’s degree are very happy with their mobility experience at FGV-EBAPE and our Executive MBAs really appreciate the seminar we co-organize with DINT on business development in Brazil every year. Highly professional teams and high-quality professors and researchers! It's a pleasure to work together, hand in hand.”

"The Center for Training in Fiscal Policy and Management and its Academic Directorate extraordinarily value the process of designing, preparing, and executing the 2019 Finance Training for Top Executives in coordination with the International Affairs Division of FGV. We received support and advice on the contents to be developed and the expected future results. We hope to continue implementing new educational strategies with FGV to strengthen and improve civil servants in the Dominican State."
Manuel Joaquin Betancourt
“Nyenrode Business University (the Netherlands) organised a 10 days trip to Brazil for approximately 30 students, teachers and staff members. A large group which, in order to make it all a bit more challenging for FGV, had different assignments to fulfil during the stay. This meant that the interest of all attendees needed to be taken into account, whilst also including evening events that would be appealing to all involved. A challenging task to say the least. However, I speak for all of us when stating that FGV´s International Affairs Division team did a fantastic job! They were welcoming, approachable and professional. It was clear they put in the time needed to prepare the trip, but maintained the flexibility for last minute changes. We had an amazing time, they introduced us to inspiring people within our fields of expertise and created an unforgettable experience. I’d recommend them anytime! ”
