Applications Open and Selection Criteria
Applications can be made until January 3, 2025 and are intended for residents of Amambai, Antônio João, Costa Rica, Dourados, Nova Alvorada do Sul, Nova Andradina, and Ribas do Rio Pardo.
Although the courses are primarily online, participants are required to attend the IFMS unit in their city in person once a week for in-person activities.
The selection process will be conducted through a public lottery, ensuring greater transparency in the selection of participants.
According to the schedule, the lottery will take place on January 13, 2025, and the results with the ranking of candidates will be published on January 16.
Moreover, those who secure their spots must enroll in person between February 3 and 12.
If some slots remain unfilled, the Federal Institute will make additional calls until all positions are occupied.
Course Structure and Details
The courses are classified as Initial and Continuing Education (FIC), lasting five months and totaling 200 class hours.
This structure is ideal for those seeking a direct and practical approach to learning a language effectively.
Classes are scheduled to begin in the week between March 17 and 21, 2025, providing students with a high-quality educational experience, with remote support and weekly activities at IFMS units.
For the English Level II course, interested individuals must take an online placement test, which will occur between January 27 and 29, 2025.
The results of the assessment will be released on January 31, indicating which candidates are eligible to enter this more advanced level.
Impact and Opportunities of Language Learning
Learning English or Spanish is a way to stand out in the job market, especially in a scenario where globalization demands more qualified professionals.
According to experts, mastering a second language broadens job opportunities, allows access to international content, and facilitates travel or study abroad.
In the case of Spanish, for example, it is the second most spoken language in the world by native speakers, being essential for business in Latin American countries.
Meanwhile, English is considered the universal language, indispensable in sectors such as technology, tourism, and international trade.
With IFMS’s initiative, participants will have access to a unique opportunity to learn these languages for free, something that usually requires significant financial investments in private courses.

Those interested should register online by January 3, 2025 through the official website of the Federal Institute of Mato Grosso do Sul.
All information about the courses, such as selection criteria and details about the schedule, can be found in the official announcement.
