Who We Are
The FCC (Carlos Chagas Foundation) is a private, nonprofit institution that operates in two main areas: Assessment/Civil Service Exams/Selection Processes and Research and Education. Since it was founded 55 years ago, it has been recognized for its competence in conducting civil service exams, college admission tests, system evaluation and socio-educational research.
Investing in education and research has always been one of FCC’s driving forces. Through its Educational Research Department (DPE), it dedicates to research programs on topics directly or indirectly related to education involving assessment, people selection, public policy, teaching and teacher education, social rights, gender and race. Another differential of the FCC lies in its experience and excellence in planning and executing selection processes.
