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.

How to register?

To ensure participation, candidates must access the official Federal Institute portal within the deadline that ends on May 27. As these are free EAD technical courses, there are no tuition fees or material charges.

Therefore, the main focus for interested individuals should be organizing the documents required by the public notice for the approval of their application.
