What the Specialization Teaches
The content is comprehensive and geared towards the day-to-day of the profession. Students learn:
- How to install and maintain electrical distribution networks;
- Technical standards and safety regulations when working with electricity;
- Use of specific equipment and tools;
- Basics of energy, measurement, and sustainability.
Classes are all in-person, with both theoretical and practical components, which helps to learn in a more dynamic and applied way.
Why This Training Is Worth It
The electric sector is among the fastest growing in Brazil, and the demand for qualified labor is only increasing. According to data from Abradee (Brazilian Association of Electricity Distributors), there is a shortage of professionals in various regions of the country, especially in urban expansion areas.
With the free specialization for electricians from IFMA, participants gain access to quality training offered by a recognized public institution. Moreover, the certification at the end of the specialization is an important differentiator on a resume.
