Technical training and in-person support at 58 centers

Although flexibility is the strong point of distance learning, the Federal Institute maintains an essential physical support structure for the quality of learning.

The public notice stipulates that students participate in in-person meetings, activities, and evaluations throughout the semester.

To support this demand, the institution provides 58 service centers distributed throughout the state territory.

Thus, while the student studies remotely most of the time, they have a reference location to validate their knowledge and interact with the academic community.

Upon completing the program, the student receives a mid-level technical diploma, qualifying them for the job market.
