The Federal Institute of Farroupilha (IFFar) is with registration open until October 16, 2025 for subsequent technical courses in the 100% distance modality, aimed at those who have already completed high school.
The selection does not require a test and will be done by electronic lottery on November 17, with immediate calling of those approved following the institutional schedule.

No exam will be applied; the method adopted is the electronic lottery, a practice that the Institute already uses to select candidates in subsequent courses.
The lottery is scheduled for November 17, 2025, starting at 2 PM, with the 1st call on November 19 and confirmation of slots until December 2.
Technical Courses Offered at a Distance
The slots in the distance modality cover training aligned with technology and production demands.
Among the offerings from IFFar for 2026 are Agribusiness (EaD), Information Technology Maintenance and Support (EaD), and Computer Networks (EaD), organized as subsequent technical courses.
Those who have already completed high school may participate, in accordance with the general rule for this type of entry.
Distribution of Slots and In-Person Locations
In the specific selection of the three courses mentioned, the official distribution of slots is as follows: Agribusiness (80 slots), Information Technology Maintenance and Support (60 slots), and Computer Networks (80 slots).
These offerings belong to the Alegrete Campus and use in-person locations for mandatory activities: Agribusiness has locations at Alegrete Campus and São Gabriel Reference Center; Information Technology Maintenance and Support uses Santiago and São Gabriel Reference Centers; Computer Networks operates with a location at Alegrete Campus.
In total, there are 220 slots in these three listed EaD courses in the admission notice.
How the Institute’s Distance Learning Works
Although activities generally occur in the Virtual Learning Environment, the regulations provide for in-person moments at the indicated locations for assessments, practices, and guidance.
This dynamic combines flexibility — important for those who work or live far from the campuses — with structured pedagogical support at the Institute’s units.
Official Schedule
The official calendar sets successive milestones between October and November.
After the close of registrations on October 16, specific analyses and calls by quotas occur throughout October 22 to 31.
The preliminary list of applicants is expected on November 4, with appeals on November 5 and final list on November 14.
The decisive step is the electronic lottery on November 17, followed by the 1st call on November 19 and confirmation until December 2.
This sequence of dates supports a continuous flow until the vacancies are filled.
Relevance of Technical Courses
Federal technical courses have national validity and focus on applied competencies, which usually facilitates entry into the job market in areas such as information technology and agribusiness.
The 100% EaD model reduces geographical barriers, allowing for self-organized study with institutional support.
At the same time, the locations bring the student closer to essential in-person activities, ensuring assessment and practice standards aligned with each course’s pedagogical project.
Attention to Requirements
It is advisable to check in the admission notice and portal document requirements, quota criteria, dates for self-identification and evaluation, and locations of the site assigned to the chosen course.
It’s also worth confirming the workload and the expected in-person meetings, factors that influence the routine of those who already work or reside in neighboring municipalities.
In processes of this nature, attention to details prevents denials and rework during the confirmation phase.
Who Should Consider Applying
Candidates seeking free technical qualification and who are familiar with technology-mediated studies will benefit from the format.
Moreover, residents of the interior of Rio Grande do Sul, especially from the regions served by the Alegrete Campus, São Gabriel, and Santiago locations, tend to find more favorable logistics for meeting in-person requirements when they occur.
For those who intend to work in computer maintenance, networks, or agribusiness processes, the IFFar paths favor applied learning and entry points for internships and technical occupations.
How to Register for the Courses
Applications must be made exclusively online at the official IFFar website, from September 10 to October 16, 2025.
It is necessary to attach the documentation requested in the admission notice and follow the timelines of the electronic lottery, which takes place on November 17, as well as the confirmation periods to secure enrollment.
