Free courses teach maintenance, safety, and conservation concepts for licensed drivers and motorcyclists

The State Department of Transit opened registrations for free Basic Car and Motorcycle Mechanics courses, offering a practical opportunity for drivers in Greater Vitória. In total, according to Detran, there are 120 in-person spots available for drivers and motorcyclists who wish to learn simple vehicle care. The classes will be held at Detranzinho, located in Boa Vista II, in Serra, and registrations are open from June 1st to 5th. The proposal is to teach maintenance concepts, identification of common problems, and measures that contribute to traffic safety and the conservation of cars and motorcycles.

Free courses require a valid CNH

Participation depends on the category of the National Driver’s License corresponding to the chosen course. For Basic Motorcycle Mechanics, the interested party must have a CNH in category A. For Basic Car Mechanics, the candidate must have a license in category B. The driver also cannot be serving a suspension of the right to drive, revocation of the CNH, penalty resulting from a traffic crime, or judicial impediment to exercising their rights. Classified candidates will receive confirmation by email, while the list of selected candidates will be published on the official Detran website.

Classes combine theory and practice at Detranzinho

During the Basic Mechanics Course, participants will learn simple notions about vehicle operation and guidance for dealing with common maintenance situations. Among the planned content are reading the main indicators on the instrument panel, checking the engine, brakes, and fluids, identifying the need for alignment and balancing, as well as tips for economical driving and daily care. The classes will be divided into theoretical and practical parts. The courses are organized and coordinated by the Detran Public Traffic School, with support from partner companies responsible for in-person activities.

Certificate requires full attendance

To receive the certificate, the student must have 100% attendance and fill out the evaluation form at the end of the training. The document will be sent by email after the course ends, using the information provided during registration. The requirement for full attendance reinforces the practical nature of the classes, as each modality will be held in just one day, with theoretical activities in the morning and practical ones in the afternoon.

Motorcycle course will have 60 spots on June 9

The Basic Motorcycle Mechanics course will have 60 spots available and will be held on June 9, 2026, Tuesday, at Detranzinho, in Serra. The theoretical part will take place from 8 am to 12 pm, while the practical part will be held from 1 pm to 5 pm. Participants should attend wearing a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and closed shoes, as per the guidelines for in-person activities.

Car course will have 60 spots on June 10

The Basic Car Mechanics course will also have 60 spots and will take place on June 10, 2026, Wednesday, at the same location. The schedule will follow the same format as the motorcycle class, with theory from 8 am to 12 pm and practice from 1 pm to 5 pm. The classes will be held at Detranzinho, at Rua Sebastião Rodrigues Miranda, nº 49, Boa Vista II, Serra/ES, behind Vitória Apart Hospital.

Registrations remain open until June 5

Registrations must be made on the official Detran website between June 1 and 5. After registering, candidates need to monitor the email provided during registration and also the agency’s website, where the list of selected candidates will be published. With limited spots, in-person classes, and practical content, the free courses offer a direct opportunity for drivers to expand their basic knowledge of vehicle maintenance.
