What ICT does

Colégio ICT (legally Instituto de Cultura Técnica Sociedade Civil LTDA) is a private Brazilian educational institution founded September 3, 1972, by Professor Wladir de Souza Telles in Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro. Operating as a CNPJ-registered sociedade civil with 11-50 employees, the institution delivers technical and vocational education to the Sul Fluminense industrial region, with a curriculum spanning 5th through 8th grade, high school, technical courses, specialization programs, and articulation into higher education via partner institution Faculdade Sul Fluminense (FaSF).

The core product portfolio includes combined high-school-plus-technical tracks (Técnico+Médio, 36 months) in Administration, Industrial Automation, Electromechanics, Electronics, Nursing, Mechanics, and Mechatronics; evening and Saturday technical modalities; and six-month to nine-month healthcare-focused specializations in Radiotherapy, Computed Tomography, Surgical Instrumentation, Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgical Instrumentation (Da Vinci platform, 50 hours), Welding, and Refrigeration & Air Conditioning. The institution's technology stack centers on operational lab infrastructure—robotics, hospital simulation, mechatronics, and industrial automation labs equipped with PLC, robotics, industrial networks, and embedded systems—and the EduxeGO-powered student portal (Portal do Aluno) plus a Google Workspace-backed internal intranet.

Revenue is generated through recurring monthly tuition across multiple modalities, with pricing undisclosed and enrollment handled directly via WhatsApp, in-person inquiry, the EduxeGO portal, and the annual Bolsão ICT scholarship examination. Customer concentration is on individual students pursuing technical certification, supplemented by corporate workforce-training clients in the regional industrial sector. Operating strictly within Brazil's Sul Fluminense region, the institution holds no disclosed external investment, no parent company ownership, and no app store presence.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Universidade Anhanguera (Kroton Educacional): Large private higher education and technical education provider owned by Cogna/Kroton. Comparable through FaSF-style articulation with technical feeder programs and similar specializations; differs by national scale and listed parent.
• SENAI (Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Industrial): Brazil's national industrial apprenticeship network, the dominant provider of technical/vocational training for industry. Comparable to ICT across nearly all of ICT's technical tracks (mechanics, mechatronics, welding, automation), but operates at national scale funded by industry levies rather than tuition.
• SENAC (Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Comercial): National commercial/technical training network offering professional courses (administration, health, technology). Overlaps with ICT on Administration and Clinical Analysis tracks; broader portfolio but operates nationally with industry levy funding.

Regional players

• Etec Adolpho Berezin (Santos): Representative São Paulo coastal ETEC offering technical courses in industrial mechanics, electronics, and nursing. Comparable in technical specialization mix and practical-lab approach; does not directly compete in Volta Redonda.
• Instituto Federal do Rio de Janeiro (IFRJ): Federal network of technical schools with campuses in Rio de Janeiro state, offering free technical and undergraduate programs. Most direct public competitor to ICT within Rio de Janeiro for technical talent pipeline, including nursing, industrial automation, and mechatronics.
• ETEC (Escola Técnica Estadual): São Paulo state-run technical schools offering free technical courses across dozens of specializations. Comparable to ICT in curriculum structure and specializations (mechanics, electronics, nursing, administration) but funded by state government and not directly competing in Rio de Janeiro.

Direct peers

• Colégio Cotemig: Private K-12 + technical institution in Belo Horizonte offering technical courses in electronics, IT, and administration alongside high school. Closest private peer to ICT in business model (private tuition-funded combined Médio+Técnico), differing mainly by geography and tech track emphasis.
• Colégio 7 de Setembro: Private K-12 institution in Fortaleza offering combined high school and technical courses in administration, health, and technology. Closely mirrors ICT's combined Médio+Técnico model with monthly tuition subscription.
• Colégio Politécnico (Politec): Brazilian private institution combining high school with technical education across multiple specialties. Directly comparable to ICT in target audience, combined high-school/technical model, and reliance on practical lab infrastructure.

Others

• Faculdade Sul Fluminense (FaSF): Higher education partner institution under the same broader educational umbrella as ICT. Directly comparable through the Conexão FaSF/ICT articulation program and overlapping program portfolio, but operates at degree level rather than technical.
