Each page presents syllabus, objectives, workload, certification criteria, and information about the target audience.
The focus is on the development of reading, listening comprehension, and vocabulary, with practical exercises and quizzes.
Structure of Language Courses
The courses are organized into progressive modules, advancing from beginner to intermediate.
In English, there are pathways such as “English 1” to “English 6”, covering everyday topics and basic grammatical structures.
In Spanish, there are thematic modules, such as “Spanish for Events”.
The description of each class informs level, workload, and minimum time for certificate issuance.
According to the most recent cards, the predominant level is basic, suitable for beginners or those wishing to reinforce previously studied fundamentals.
Requirements, Deadlines, and Workload
To access the courses, you just need a computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet and audio.
The model is self-study, with no need for live meetings.
The workload varies according to the module, as does the final deadline for completion, which must be observed on each class page.
In some cases, there is a requirement of a minimum of five days after enrollment to release the issuance of the certificate.
Digital Certificate and Authenticity
After fulfilling the requirements, the student can issue the digital certificate, which certifies the completion of the course.
The document can be downloaded, included in the resume, and validated in a public verification system.
There is also an option to request a replacement in case of loss.
The Terms of Use define the certificate as an official document of participation and completion.
It is worth noting that the courses are open courses, offered by the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education, linked to the MEC.
Among the responsible institutions is the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS).
How to Choose the Appropriate Level
Those who have never studied the language should start with the first module, which covers the alphabet, greetings, and essential vocabulary.
Those with some background can check the syllabus and select the module that corresponds to their repertoire.
In case of doubt, it is advisable to choose a simpler level to consolidate confidence.
The organization of studies is decisive. Setting aside two to three hours weekly, reviewing notes, and repeating quizzes helps to solidify the content.
A steady pace favors progress throughout the modules.
