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.

Free Certification and Institutional Recognition

To obtain it, the student needs to achieve at least a score of 6 in all mandatory activities. Once the requirement is met, the certificate is automatically available on the platform.
This certification is recognized and can be used for academic, professional purposes, or as proof of qualification in LIBRAS — an increasingly valued differential in selection processes and public competitions.
