Escola Aberje de Comunicação

What Escola Aberje de Comunicação does

Escola Aberje de Comunicação is a São Paulo-based corporate communication education institution founded in 2018 and operated by the non-profit Associação Brasileira de Comunicação Empresarial (Aberje). The school delivers a portfolio of training programs targeted at communication professionals, HR practitioners, public-sector communicators, institutional and governmental relations (RIGOV) specialists, and corporate organizations. Its offering spans short-duration Cursos Livres (50+ courses, up to 16 hours, priced from R$300 to R$1,500), comprehensive Cursos Completos organized into learning paths exceeding 40 hours (including specializations in internal communication, reputation management, public communication, crisis management, and AI for communicators, priced at R$6,000–R$8,250), an MBA em Gestão da Comunicação Empresarial delivered in partnership with FGV, international certification programs, customized in-company training, and immersive Expedições to Brasília and Amazônia.

The institution does not develop proprietary technology products; its platform is a content-and-instruction business delivered online via live video sessions with recordings, supported by a website (escolaaberje.com.br) that handles self-service enrollment, credit card and boleto payments, and quote-based corporate proposals. Content is curated by reference market professionals, including academics affiliated with ECA-USP, and the school maintains strategic partnerships with FGV (MBA credentialing), ABCPública (public communication curriculum), GENN/ECA-USP (research and webinars), and Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie (intercultural communication courses).

Revenue mechanics are predominantly transactional course fees across five streams: short courses, complete courses, the MBA, in-company custom training, and international certification. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through the website with event-driven enrollment tied to course launches, layered with a B2B motion for corporate in-company contracts. Marketing relies on the website, organic social (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook), YouTube/podcast content (FalAção series), and email newsletters. With 23 employees, no disclosed funding, and no disclosed revenue, the school operates as a niche, mission-driven extension of Aberje's mandate to advance corporate communication practice in Brazil.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• PUC-SP (Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo): Major São Paulo university with extension school and corporate communication programs serving working professionals. Comparable because PUC-SP extension courses target the same corporate communication audience seeking continuing education in São Paulo.
• Insper: Premium Brazilian business school offering MBAs, executive education, and short programs across management disciplines including communication and marketing. Comparable because it competes for the same corporate-sponsored training budget in Brazil and is a clear alternative for executive education in communication-adjacent fields.
• Senac (Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Comercial): National Brazilian professional education institution offering short courses and corporate training across many disciplines nationwide. Comparable because it is the dominant nationwide provider of paid short professional courses in Brazil, including in the communication field, and competes for individual and in-company enrollments.
• Faculdade Cásper Líbero: São Paulo-based faculty focused on journalism, advertising, and corporate communication with continuing-education courses for communication professionals. Comparable because it targets the same São Paulo professional audience seeking corporate communication upskilling.
• ESPM (Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing): Major Brazilian higher-education institution offering undergraduate and continuing-education programs in advertising, marketing, and corporate communication. Directly comparable because it competes for the same professional-development learner with Brazilian corporates and competes in São Paulo.
• FIA (Fundação Instituto de Administração): São Paulo-based business education institution focused on executive and in-company training with strong B2B corporate training programs. Comparable because it operates a parallel business model of short executive courses plus customized in-company programs in Brazil.

Others

• FGV (Fundação Getúlio Vargas): Top-tier Brazilian business school that co-delivers Escola Aberje's MBA. As an 'others' connection, FGV is simultaneously the school's most important academic partner and a broader incumbent that offers its own executive education and continuing-education programs, some of which overlap with Escola Aberje's catalog.
• ABRACOM (Associação Brasileira de Comunicação Empresarial): Brazilian corporate communication industry association that runs its own training events and serves a similar member base to Aberje. Comparable as a thematic 'others' connection - a parallel industry association that could launch competing educational programs and capture some of Escola Aberje's B2B audience.

Regional players

• London School of Public Relations (LSPR): International PR and corporate communications training provider with global course delivery. Comparable because it operates as a regional alternative (UK-anchored) that also serves Latin American corporate communication learners, competing for international certification demand.
