The course is part of the institute’s online courses environment, which brings together free training in different areas of knowledge.
Although presented as basic training, the course concentrates on central themes for teaching work in the early years and in contexts of learning reconstruction.
Among the topics included are general concepts of literacy and reading, literacy methods, and reader development.
Course Structure and Self-Instructive Online Format
The 2025B class is divided into three modules.
In this model, the participant accesses the materials directly on the platform and progresses independently.
The study pace is the responsibility of the student, who needs to organize their schedule to complete the steps within the informed deadline.
IFRS also defines a maximum period for completing the activities.
According to the official description, the course can be finished by January 31, 2026, the deadline to complete the modules and obtain the certificate.
Target Audience and Participation Requirements
The spots are primarily aimed at teachers and professionals in the pedagogical area.
As this is an online course, the requirements are considered basic.
IFRS states that reading comprehension in Portuguese, access to a computer with audio and video capabilities, and a basic understanding of simple tools, such as a PDF file reader, are necessary.
Since there is no tutoring, the student assumes full autonomy over their own learning.
Operational questions should be resolved based on the guidance provided by the institute’s virtual environment.
Quick Certification and Extended Deadline
One of the main attractions highlighted by IFRS is the speed of certification.
The institute states that the minimum period for obtaining the certificate is four days after registration.
This means that upon fulfilling the required activities, the participant can issue the certificate in a short period of time.
On the other hand, the course also allows for a more flexible completion.
Those who prefer can spread their studies over weeks, respecting the final deadline established for the class.
Registration Without Selection and Immediate Access to the Course
The selection occurs in a continuous flow, without tests or curriculum analysis.
As it is a self-instructional course, it is enough to meet the technical requirements and register on the platform to start classes.
There is no entrance exam or traditional selection process.
The course is advertised as having limited spots, although the exact number of spots is not specified on the class page.
How to Enroll in the Free Course from IFRS
To enroll, interested individuals should access the online course platform of IFRS, find the course “Literacy and Reading – Class 2025B”, register and complete the enrollment to start the activities.
The institute also provides general guidance on the functioning of online courses for those who need support during the process.
