IFMA Is Offering 90 Spots in a Selection Process for Free EAD Specialization Courses. The Courses Will Last for 18 Months.

The Federal Institute of Maranhão (IFMA) is open for applications in a selection process for free lato sensu postgraduate courses in Distance Education (EAD). A total of 90 spots will be available across various locations. Registration has been open since 9 AM this Monday (12) and can be done until 11:59 PM on January 16th of next year, only online.

Check the Distribution of Spots in the Free EAD Courses of IFMA

The course being offered in this selection process is the lato sensu postgraduate course, that is, specialization in Regional Development Management in the Amazon, which has a duration of 450 hours, equivalent to a duration of 18 months.

Those who hold a higher education degree in any area, whether a bachelor’s, licentiate, or technologist, can participate in the process. The course is being coordinated by IFMA from the Carolina Campus; however, the total number of spots is distributed across the hubs in the cities of Araioses (30 spots), Vitorino Freire (30 spots), and Tutóia (30 spots).

At the time of registration, the candidate must choose the hub city for which they wish to compete for the free courses. The addresses of the hubs in each city are provided in the announcement. In all hubs, the spots in free courses are divided into quotas for persons with disabilities, indigenous people, black and brown individuals, and open competition.

The selection process will take place through an electronic lottery and a resume analysis. It is important to remember that candidates can register even if they reside in other cities; however, they must be available to participate in mandatory in-person meetings. The start of classes is scheduled for March of next year.

Learn How to Register for IFMA’s EAD Courses

Registration for the free EAD courses does not require any fee and must be done online at the official website of the institution. At the time of registration, the interested party must first create an account and generate a personal, non-transferable access password that is the complete responsibility of the candidate.

To register, candidates must have an active email account, which is essential for activating the registration and retrieving the access password. The CPF and password of the candidates must be kept confidential and are necessary for monitoring the registration process and consulting individual results online.

Before registering for the EAD courses, candidates must carefully read the announcement and ensure that they meet all the required criteria and have the necessary documents to prove them when needed.

Selection Process and Other Stages

The first stage of the selection process will occur through a Public Electronic Lottery, which will take place on January 27, 2023, at the headquarters of IFMA’s Rectory, being broadcast from the headquarters of the Carolina advanced campus. Those who qualify will move on to the second stage, which consists of resume analysis, selecting the number of spots by hub.

Classes will be taught in the Distance Education (EAD) format, meaning the classes will be delivered online, in the Virtual Learning Environment (AVA), through PDF handouts, video lessons, or other formats according to each teacher’s methodology for their subject.

The student must attend the hub only when there are in-person classes with practical activities, meetings, and also to take exams. Meetings are held periodically, which may be once or more times a month, preferably on weekends and with prior notice. Therefore, it is necessary to verify any expenses for travel to the hub city, considering that the expenses are the student’s responsibility.
