IFTO Launched The Notice For A Free Online Libras Course (Intermediate Level) With 2,000 Slots. Registrations On A First-Come, First-Served Basis – Learn How To Participate, Who Can Compete, And The Timeline.
This Saturday, the 25th, the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of Tocantins (IFTO), through the Dianópolis Campus, is open for registrations for the intermediate level libras course – free, fully in the EAD (online) modality, with 2,000 slots and selection made on a first-come, first-served basis.
This initiative arises to expand access to Brazilian Sign Language (libras) and promote social and professional inclusion.

Federal Institute will pay you R$ 300 for a free course: IFSP calls women for 320 in-person vacancies in 8 cities, with 60 hours of training and registrations open until April 21, 2026.
Of this total, 1,500 slots are for the external community (open competition); 220 slots for IFTO employees; 180 slots for graduates of the previous course “Integration and Inclusion”; and 100 slots reserved for the deaf community.
Those interested who are 18 years old or older and have completed elementary school II can register. At the time of registration, RG, CPF, school history, and for specific slots, proof of link or medical report as applicable will be required.
The selection will occur on a first-come, first-served basis, which requires prompt action from interested parties.
How The Course Will Be And Its Duration
The libras course will be taught through an online platform, in IFTO’s virtual environment, with a start date expected for the first week of December.
The free EAD (online) course format facilitates participation and learning of sign language for people from different regions.
By offering libras at the intermediate level, it is expected that participants will already have some familiarity with the language — although the notice does not explicitly mention the requirement of a basic level certificate, the focus is on advancing knowledge and qualification.
The offer of a free libras course by IFTO aligns with the need to promote greater social inclusion and expand communication in public and professional settings.
Learning sign language enhances access for deaf individuals to education, the job market, and fuller participation in society.
Additionally, for hearing individuals, mastering libras provides a competitive edge and reinforces the commitment to accessibility and human rights.
For those seeking qualifications, this is a significant opportunity: to learn libras and stand out in inclusion initiatives or in contexts where communication with individuals with hearing disabilities is valued.
When To Register For The Free Libras Course At IFTO
Registration period: from October 22 to 31, 2025.
Candidates must pay close attention to the notice to understand the full schedule of registrations.
The selection by order of registration makes it essential to act quickly: more than just meeting the requirements, the first candidate to register has a greater chance of securing a slot.
Additionally, it is recommended to have the required documents (RG, CPF, school history, specific proofs) digitized in advance to expedite the online registration process.
It is also important to check any technical requirements — such as educational platform, internet connection, autonomy for EAD — to ensure participation without unforeseen issues.
With this initiative of a free libras course, IFTO not only offers linguistic training but also strengthens the culture of inclusion in the educational environment and the job market.
It is expected that graduates from this program will be able to act as communication facilitators, amateur interpreters, or even professionals in contexts that require knowledge of sign language.
About IFTO

Its creation was formalized by Law No. 11,892, of 2008, which established the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific, and Technological Education throughout the country.
IFTO operates as a public educational institution that encompasses education from basic education to higher education, offering professional and technological training in various modalities.
