FAETEC opened 3,749 free slots for technical courses, technologists, specializations, and EJA. Registrations until June 14 on the official website.
Those living in Rio de Janeiro who want to qualify without paying anything have an open window until June 14. Since last Friday (May 22), FAETEC — Fundação de Apoio à Escola Técnica — has been accepting applications for 3,749 free slots distributed among technical courses, technological graduation, specializations, and the EJA modality, aimed at those who wish to resume their studies. The entire registration process is done exclusively online, through the official selection portal.
FAETEC opens many slots in free courses
The largest share of slots is allocated to technical training. There are 3,016 opportunities in technical courses, open to students who are already attending at least the 2nd year of High School or who have already completed this stage. The selection for these classes occurs through a public lottery, scheduled for July 4.
Two technical courses, however, require a different stage: Theater and Musical Instrument, with 65 slots in total, require a Specific Skills Test (THE) before enrollment.
-
More than 200 free and fully online courses with certificates are open for registration for people from all over Brazil, in areas such as technology, programming, management, and languages, and can be secured without fees, without a selection process, and only with a CPF and email until the end of June.
