The Escola Nacional de Seguros – Funenseg was founded in Brazil in 1971, with the mission of disseminating insurance education, knowledge and research, as well as promoting consumers understanding and professionals' continuing education in insurance.
 
This initiative has accomplished the Brazilian professionals' need for the technical education to thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace and has emphasized the importance of the insurance industry in the development of the national economy.
 
During the last 38 years, the Escola Nacional de Seguros has achieved its objectives by offering educational programs from basic levels to post-graduation degrees, supporting technical research, publishing a wide range of titles and other activities such as workshops and seminars. In this period, Funenseg has also exchanged experiences with other insurance institutions through mutual cooperation agreements inside and outside Brazil.
 
In 2005, the institution was accredited by the Brazilian government to offer the first course on Insurance Administration at undergraduate level in the country, reflecting its commitment to prepare leading professionals for the industry that has become much more complex during the recent years.
 
The Escola Nacional de Seguros Head-Office is in Rio de Janeiro. There are other fourteen Regional Offices, strategically located throughout the country, to conduct its activities and reinforce Funenseg´s position as “The School of Insurance in Brazil”.
