Who Can Participate and How the Classes Work

The courses are self-instructional, with no mandatory tutoring, allowing participants to study at their own pace and fit it into their school routine.
According to the official government service, after completing the assessment activities, the student generates the “certificate of completion” in the My Documents area.
The issuance of the certificate depends on the configuration of each course and should be verified on the training page before enrollment.
Featured Topics: BNCC, AI, Digital Culture, and Management
The free trainings on AVAMEC cover digital competencies, pedagogical use of technologies, socio-emotional skills, and management of educational information.
There are paths focused on artificial intelligence in education, creation of multimedia resources, and school organization, among other possibilities.
Recent surveys indicate more than 60 active courses on the platform, including options such as “Digital Technologies: Tools for Creativity and Learning,” “School Management,” and “Well-being in the School Context,” as well as paths on AI for personalized teaching.
Four Open Trainings Worth Noting
Enhancing Literature in the Classroom Using the Canva Platform (20h).
This course is aimed at basic education teachers and integrates language, design, and the production of multimodal narratives.
The proposal is to create covers, book trailers, and audiovisual narratives with the support of AI and active methodologies, aligning with BNCC objectives.
It serves as an entry point to MEC’s free online courses focused on digital culture applied to reading and student authorship.
Advanced Training in Well-being in the School Context (180h).
This continuing education program is structured in three modules, focusing on support, mental health, and socio-emotional skills within the school community.
It was launched by the Basic Education Secretariat and aims to strengthen care practices for students, families, and teams.
This is one of the free trainings on AVAMEC with the highest workload.
The School in Digital Culture (online training).
Developed by MultiRio, this course covers the pedagogical use of videos, podcasts, social media, and comics, as well as media education.
The training is available on the AVAMEC and has been opening new classes, with thousands of free spots.
The course reinforces the “digital culture” axis outlined in the BNCC and broadens teachers’ repertoire for authorial and multimodal projects.
School Census – Fundamentals, Concepts, and System Functionality (30h).
This training prepares professionals for accurate completion of information in Educacenso, with three programmatic units and a practical approach.
The path is part of the Training Program through the School by FNDE and caters to managers and technicians responsible for data submission.
Since the School Census is conducted by Inep and organizes official statistics for Basic Education, the training contributes to the quality of network records.
Certificates and Use in Careers
The certificate is digital and available on the platform for courses configured with document issuance.
For purposes of functional progression or proof of workload in competitive exams, it is advisable to check what the official announcements and the regulations of each education network state.
In practice, many systems accept trainings completed on AVAMEC, as long as the local criteria for document validity are met.
How to Choose the Right Path
Look for trainings that align with your lesson plan and the general and specific competencies of the National Common Curriculum Base (BNCC).
Prioritize workloads compatible with your network’s progression policy.
For pedagogical innovation, evaluate paths on multimedia creation, generative AI applied to teaching, and digital culture.
In management, consider courses on educational data, planning, and School Census, which help improve diagnostics and school indicators.
The MEC itself maintains paths associated with the Connected Education program, designed for technology-mediated practices aligned with the BNCC.
