Free technical course spots in the Federal District
The opportunities were opened in the Brasília, Ceilândia, Estrutural, Gama, Planaltina, Recanto das Emas, Riacho Fundo, Samambaia, São Sebastião, and Taguatinga campuses.
The distribution varies according to the course, shift, teaching modality, and the structure available in each unit.
Among the subsequent in-person courses, aimed at candidates who have already finished High School, the Brasília Campus concentrates spots in System Development, Administration, and Public Services.
The Ceilândia Campus offers options in Biomedical Equipment, Electronics, and Occupational Safety in the semi-presential EaD modality.
In Gama, there are opportunities in Logistics and Administration, while the Estrutural unit offers Automotive Maintenance.

In-person, Distance Learning, and Semi-in-person Courses at IFB
The majority of vacancies are in subsequent in-person technical courses, totaling 1,049 opportunities.
In this modality, the candidate must have completed High School by the date required for enrollment, according to the rules of the notice.
There are also 240 in-person vacancies in Proeja, a modality that integrates High School and technical training for young people and adults.
In this category, IFB offers Administration in Gama, Audio and Video Production in Recanto das Emas, Restaurant and Bar in Riacho Fundo, Building Construction in Samambaia, and Garment Modeling in Taguatinga.
In the distance learning modality, subsequent and concurrent technical courses offer vacancies in areas such as Events, Systems Development, Occupational Safety, Agriculture, and Biotechnology.
Although classified as Distance Learning, some courses require mandatory in-person meetings, which requires the candidate’s attention before registration.
In the case of Occupational Safety, for example, there are classes linked to the Ceilândia Campus with in-person meetings on specific days of the week.
Agriculture and Biotechnology appear as semi-in-person options at the Planaltina Campus, with shifts and workloads defined in the notice.
Who Can Apply for IFB Vacancies
The subsequent courses are aimed at candidates who have already completed High School.
This requirement applies to both in-person options and Distance Learning offers for those seeking technical training after the basic education stage.
In Proeja, the selection is directed at people over 18 years old who wish to attend High School integrated with professional training.
This modality serves students who did not complete this stage at the regular age and are seeking free technical training.
For concurrent and subsequent technical courses in the distance learning modality, the rules vary according to the offer.
In general, the concurrent modality allows the student to pursue technical training while still in High School, provided they meet the requirements set out in the notice.
Each candidate can choose only one course in the selection process.
Therefore, the guidance is to carefully check the campus, shift, duration, modality, mandatory in-person meetings, and participation criteria before finalizing the registration.
