What You Learn in the Technical Course at Senai and Why It Aims for Real Job Opportunities?
The program courses are structured to put the student in a work routine and industrial demand. Thus, the training tends to be direct, with applied content and a laboratory and workshop environment, depending on the offering institution.
Additionally, the financial support plays a central role in keeping the student until the end. In the program, the scholarship is R$ 660 per month, and for women with children up to 11 years old, the amount is R$ 858, according to the general rules disclosed.

As classes change, therefore, the best filter is to look at the call for your municipality and check the workload, schedule, and prerequisites before finalizing the registration.
Is There a Recognized Certificate or Is It Just a “Free Course”?

If you are looking for a free course and still need some money to study, this could be the most direct chance of the year. So, will you try for a spot? Let us know in the comments.
Acredito e seja sério, e um abuso divulgar e depois retirar.
Divulgação confusa, especialmente, para o público a que se destina o edital. Não são pessoas acostumadas à linguagem e aos processos formais dos editais. Além disso, não há mais inscrições para o RJ, exceto Macaé. Estou acompanhando por conta do filho do porteiro do meu prédio.
Não consegui encontrar onde se inscrever, se alguém puder ajudar eu agradeço
Ainda não está aberto o povo não entende foi aberto o ano passado na data certa abri as inscrições mas vocês já estão informados a data certa pra no dia já fazerem as suas inscrições.
