Vendor lineage
InLearn - official training, Brazil
Brazilian authorised training centre for F5 and Fortinet courses.
InLearn Educação Ltda was constituted on 14 April 2002, registered in Barueri in Greater São Paulo, and is an official training partner of Fortinet and F5, delivering the vendors' own courses and certification paths. Like TDec, it dates itself two different ways: the register says 2002, while the company presents itself as training professionals “since 2008”. Both are recorded here, and the 2008 date now has a name attached to it: Grupo IHC’s own published history says inLearn was created that year by the partners of HighCast, a network consultancy founded in 2003, after the specialisation of their consultants produced demand for training.
An authorised training centre is the layer most vendor documentation never mentions: the vendor writes the courseware, and somebody local has to schedule it, staff it with certified instructors and put working labs in front of people. That matters more in a market like Brazil than the org chart suggests - a certification that exists only in English, only across a currency barrier and only in another time zone is one most local engineers will not get.
InLearn belongs to Grupo IHC, founded in 2003, alongside HighCast and CYLK - which means two companies in this encyclopedia are sister businesses in the same group.
