Regarding requirements, there is no formal requirement to participate. Nevertheless, there is a recommendation: to have completed high school, without obligation.
This makes access more democratic and fits well with those who want to learn from scratch, but also with those who are already working and need to organize their knowledge.
What Does the Course Teach?
The content is designed to build a foundation and then lead to real installation routines. First, the fundamentals of electricity and its practical applications are presented.
Then, essential concepts such as voltage, current, resistance, and electrical power are introduced, along with resistivity, circuits, conductors, insulators, and resistors.
From there, the path advances to capacitors, transformers, and types and classes of conductors used in installations.
The focus falls on the part that usually separates curiosity from profession: reading and interpreting electrical projects, electrical installations and their elements, in addition to essential electrician tools.
The multimeter gains attention with definitions, readings, and measurements, reinforcing the diagnostic and verification aspects. Soon after, the course addresses what most frequently appears in residences:
- sizing and installation of conduits and grounding,
- installation of thermal magnetic circuit breakers,
- switches, dimmers, timers, and electrical outlets,
- lamps and their specifications.
There are also techniques for the correct splicing of wires and conductors and a topic that many people seek in practice: installation of electric faucets and showers.
To top it off, it covers single-phase electric motors, operation of pump motors and float switches, in addition to the safety block, which is treated as a central part of the content.
The course addresses electrical shocks, types, effects and causes, electric arcs and electromagnetic fields, direct and indirect causes of accidents, use of personal protective equipment, and first aid in case of an electrical accident.
Along the way, it introduces the NBR 5410/2004 standard and also ABNT regulations related to electrical installations, as well as bibliographies and links for further study.

How Does the Selection Process Work?
The announced format works with open enrollment since the course is free and has unlimited spots. In practice, this tends to function as access through registration, without competition for points, qualifying tests, or cuts due to the number of spots.
Thus, those who register can study according to their own availability, following the modules and sequence of the program content.
