The total workload is 40 hours, equally distributed over four modules, and the course proposes the development of new linguistic perspectives and essential techniques for professional practice.

The student is encouraged to use LIBRAS in real dialogues, simulating interactions with deaf individuals. Also with a total workload of 40 hours, this course is indicated for those who already have some background and wish to apply the language in daily interactions.
Sign Writing of LIBRAS
Complementing the training, the Instituto Federal also offers the Sign Writing of LIBRAS course, which presents the SignWriting system — a method for visual recording of signs.
With a duration of 20 hours and divided into two modules, it is aimed at those who already have a basic knowledge of LIBRAS and wish to explore its written form, essential for the historical and academic record of the language.
Mundi Platform: Free Courses and Knowledge Accessible to Everyone
The courses are available on the Mundi Platform, a virtual learning environment created by IFSul.
It is a completely free space open to the public, academic or external, offering a wide variety of courses in MOOC format, allowing the student to progress at their own pace, at a time and place of their choice.
The initiative is coordinated by the Rectorate of the Federal Institute, with support from the Coordinating Office of Educational Technology Production (CPTE) and the Department of Distance Education and New Technologies (DETE), and reinforces the institution’s commitment to quality and educational inclusion.

Free Certification and Institutional Recognition
