Course Modalities and Quotas at the Federal Institute
The Federal Institute offers different modalities of technical courses, which can be chosen according to each candidate’s situation.
Integrated courses are designated for students who will still attend High School and wish to receive technical training simultaneously.
On the other hand, concomitant courses are for those enrolled in another high school institution, while subsequent courses are aimed at those who have already completed this level of education.
The selection process also stands out for its commitment to inclusion.
The Federal Institute reserves at least 50% of the vacancies in each course for candidates who have completed their entire Elementary or High School education in public schools.
Within this quota, half is allocated to candidates with a family income equal to or less than one minimum wage per capita, while the other half is open to students from any income bracket.
Moreover, the IFMA quota system ensures a percentage of places for specific groups.
79.84% of the vacancies will be reserved for self-declared Black, Brown, and Indigenous individuals, 9.10% for people with disabilities, and 3.97% for quilombolas.
Even if the quota calculation does not reach the total number of vacancies, at least one spot will be guaranteed for each quota group per course and shift.
It is also important to note that 2.5% of the total vacancies are reserved for candidates with disabilities, regardless of their educational background, income, or race/ethnicity.
The applications and the administration of the tests are important steps to ensure access to quality technical and vocational education, essential for the personal and professional development of students.
IFMA remains a reference in technical training in Maranhão, contributing to the qualification of the local workforce and the economic growth of the region.
The Federal Institute of Maranhão is committed to offering educational opportunities that respect diversity and promote social inclusion, reaffirming its role as an institution dedicated to training citizens prepared for the challenges of the labor market.
