What Decision FGV Page does

Decision FGV is a Brazilian executive education institution that operates as a strategic partner of Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), delivering FGV-branded MBA, postgraduate, LL.M, and short-duration programs in Southern Brazil. Legally registered as Faculdades Decision de Negócios Ltda (CNPJ 21.557.598/0001-94), the institution has operated for more than 30 years and maintains physical campuses in Porto Alegre, Novo Hamburgo, Balneário Camboriú, and Florianópolis. The product portfolio spans more than 15 distinct MBA specializations — including business management, commercial management, project management, financial management, people and leadership, digital transformation, logistics/supply chain, industrial management (Industry 4.0), foreign trade, and healthcare — alongside LL.M programs in tax, business, and civil law, postgraduate courses, In.company corporate training, international programs, and ancillary room rental services in Porto Alegre.

Programs are delivered across multiple modalities — presencial, semipresencial, online, and live (Zoom-broadcast) — with online courses hosted on FGV's educacao-executiva.fgv.br platform and hybrid programs combining Decision campuses with instructors from FGV's national network. The technology stack is essentially the FGV shared education platform; Decision does not appear to operate a proprietary learning platform. Courses carry MEC (Brazilian Ministry of Education) recognition through FGV's accreditation framework.

Revenue is generated through tuition and course fees across individual enrollment (the primary segment) and corporate training contracts (In.company). The go-to-market motion is sales-led: prospective students engage via website forms or WhatsApp and are guided through course selection by consultant teams, with pricing disclosed only on direct inquiry. The institution does not publicly disclose revenue, headcount, or enrollment figures, and there are no recorded funding rounds or external ownership transactions.
