A Program That Transforms Lives
The Senac Free Program (PSG) is one of the most important educational policies in the country in terms of inclusion. It guarantees access to 100% free vocational education, with the same quality standard as paid training.
In 2025, the program will be even stronger, with in-person, distance learning, and hybrid courses, catering to different student profiles.
The training ranges from short qualification courses to comprehensive technical programs, with flexible hours and activities that include theoretical classes, laboratory practices, online forums, seminars, and assessments. All this with Senac’s recognized infrastructure and an experienced teaching staff.
Diversity of Offered Courses
The catalog of free courses from Senac covers various fields of knowledge, designed to meet the real demands of the labor market. Among the available training options are:
- Free Courses: ideal for those seeking quick learning in areas such as administration, beauty, fashion, communication, and gastronomy.
- Technical Courses: focused on established careers with high employability, such as nursing, occupational safety, IT, and administration.
- Language Courses: opportunities to study English and Spanish with a modern methodology and a focus on conversation.
- Professional Learning Programs: aimed at young people seeking their first job, with theoretical and practical classes.
There are also new options in emerging areas such as artificial intelligence, digital transformation, digital marketing, and soft skills, addressing the demands of the current world and preparing students for future professions.
Seats and Locations of Offer
The 60,000 spots are distributed across 63 Senac units. In the city of São Paulo alone, there are about 13,000 scholarships available, while the other thousands of spots are spread across other regions.
This decentralization allows people from different locations to study near their homes, at no cost and with the same quality of education.
Additionally, the distance learning option from Senac is one of the great advantages for those seeking flexibility and quality at the same time. Through distance education, people from any part of Brazil can register and study in the comfort of their homes, without needing to travel to a physical unit.
Classes are taught by experienced teachers, with updated materials and interactive resources that ensure the same standard of excellence as in-person courses.
Students have online support and access to the platform 24 hours a day, allowing them to study at their own pace and balance their studies with work or other activities.
In a recent interview, one of the regional coordinators of Senac stated:
“Our goal is to democratize access to professional education, bringing opportunities to all corners of São Paulo. The student learns, grows, and often leaves employed.”
