Therefore, in addition to being free, the course also provides a formal document that verifies the training received during the course.

How Does the Registration and Selection of Candidates Work?
Registrations are conducted exclusively online and remain open until March 20, 2026.
As the number of interested parties tends to be high, the selection criterion adopted is simple: spots are filled in order of registration. That is, those who register first secure priority in the process.
If all spots are filled, a waiting list equivalent to 20% of the available spots in each course will still be created. Thus, new candidates may be called if there are any dropouts.
After confirming registrations, classes are scheduled to start on March 30, 2026, also in an online environment.
