💬 Student Reviews

Real reviews from students. All ratings and reviews are taken on 21st January 2026.

Eduardo Bolzan

One of the best private colleges in the state, and the best in the central region. The college has an immense infrastructure and a high-quality faculty. The Law course has the highest possible score from the MEC (Brazilian Ministry of Education), a 5. I am proud to have been a part of this institution!

Alexandre Silveira

The telephone operator's service is terrible. I've been trying to speak with them since 8:30 AM, and when I finally get through, I'm told "I'm the only one person handling everything," and then they hang up... imagine an education authority trying to speak with them???

Plauto Werle

Excellent Educational Center.
My experience was in the computer science course, and I can affirm that the team of professionals involved in this area is highly qualified and prepared. …
