Who Can Register for the Online Course
The offer is aimed at candidates with Completed Elementary Education and a minimum age of 14 years.
Since it is distance learning, teaching activities will take place online, which expands access and allows interested individuals to balance study and routine.
The educational objective is to develop basic communication in everyday situations, addressing personal and family information, shopping, location description, and work-related topics.
Available Spots and Quotas
In total, the course offers 40 spots, distributed as follows:
- 28 for general competition
- 10 for individuals self-declared as Black, Mixed Race, Indigenous, and Quilombolas (PPIQ)
- 2 for candidates with disabilities
The announcement states that classification is based on the order of registration, until the spots are filled, respecting the reserved quotas.
In case of surplus in specific categories, the spots can be reallocated to general competition.
There will also be a waiting list corresponding to 20% of the total for possible calls due to withdrawal in the early stages of the course.
Certification and Approval Criteria
The certificate will be issued to those who achieve at least 75% attendance and demonstrate sufficient performance, according to criteria defined in the Course Pedagogical Project.
The announcement also states that appeals must be submitted within the deadline and through a specific email from the Extension Coordination.
The definitive list of classified candidates and the waiting list will be published on the campus website.
Objectives of the Basic English I Course
The course is based on the principle that the English language has a relevant social and professional role.
Among the specific objectives, are understanding expressions and dialogues related to personal and family information, performing simple interactions in shopping, describing the local geography, and talking about work at an elementary level.
The aim is to introduce studies gradually, providing a foundation for readings, everyday communication, and access to information.
Connection with IFSP’s Extension Courses
The Basic English I class is part of a set of extension courses linked to an initiative mobilized by the implementation team of the Sumaré campus with support from the Hortolândia Campus, responsible for the selection process and the administrative conduct of the announcement.
In the same initiative, there are in-person courses offered in Sumaré and the English offer is entirely online, reinforcing the open and flexible character for the interested public.
How to Apply
To participate, the candidate must meet the minimum prerequisites (Completed Elementary Education and a minimum age of 14 years) and register exclusively through the online form.
Given a free offer, with a certificate, selection by order of registration, and 100% online classes, which factor should be decisive in the application: the distance learning format, the compact schedule, or the reserved spots that enhance access?
