School is for you if…
Entrepreneurs and importers
Anyone buying, developing, or planning to develop products in China who needs to stop learning through expensive mistakes.
Engineers and product creators
Anyone who wants to master hardware, electronics, prototyping, and scalable production using the Chinese ecosystem.

China is the world's largest industrial ecosystem — and one of the most poorly explained. Almost everything taught about it in Brazil is shallow, generic, or outdated.
- ✕Generic importing courses that never explain how industrial China actually works.
- ✕Costly mistakes with suppliers, certifications, and business trips that preparation could have prevented.
- ✕Nobody teaching hardware, prototyping, and production from real experience instead of theory.
- ✕Content made by people who have never negotiated, manufactured, or lived on the other side.

FAQ
Still have questions?
Is this just another importing course?
No. School doesn't teach magic importing formulas. The goal is to prepare people to understand the Chinese innovation and technology ecosystem: suppliers, hardware, manufacturing, negotiation, certifications, and culture. All based on real experience — not reheated theory.
Who creates the content?
The content is original, built on the journey of Nelson Kameda, who has been building businesses in China since 2006, and Zhuhai Kameda Technology — a factory with an SMT line, labs, and a track record of projects for Brazilian companies. The classes come straight from what happens in practice.
Are the courses online or in person?
Both. The catalog includes online courses, recorded and live classes, PDF materials, e-books, and checklists. There are also in-person workshops and training at Colabtec's roughly 1,000 m² facility in Zhuhai, China.
Can I enroll now?
The catalog is being built and courses open by cohort. Fill out the form with your topic of interest and we'll let you know as soon as enrollment for your course opens. No spam — only news that matters.
Is there a certificate?
Yes. School courses and tracks issue a certificate of completion. For companies and universities, there are also formats with institutional cohorts, group access, and certification.
Can my company or university use the content?
Absolutely. School offers tailored corporate courses and content licensing for educational institutions — for courses, modules, and graduate programs. Tell us your case in the form and let's talk.
