The initiative takes place in partnership with the Open University of Brazil (UAB), reinforcing the institutions’ commitment to expanding access to quality education for professionals in the field.
Who Can Participate and Where Classes Will Be Offered
To participate, the candidate must have a bachelor’s degree in any field of knowledge.
However, IFMS prioritizes teachers, managers, and other professionals working in basic education, ensuring that these groups have preference in the selection.
The offer of spots is distributed among teaching hubs located in Campo Grande, Aparecida do Taboado, Camapuã, Dourados, Japorã, Jardim, and Miranda, facilitating access for students in different regions of the state.
Start Dates for Classes
According to IFMS, classes for the specialization in Management in Professional and Technological Education will begin on July 3, while students in Distance Education in Professional and Technological Education will start their studies on July 10.
Growth of Distance Education in Brazil
Distance education (EaD) has gained increasing space in Brazil, especially after technological advances and adaptation to new teaching methods during the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to the 2023 Higher Education Census, the number of students enrolled in EaD courses increased by 18% compared to the previous year, highlighting a growing trend in the appreciation of this modality.
In this context, IFMS stands out by offering free specialized training that combines flexibility and quality, especially benefiting education professionals who seek to enhance their skills without giving up work and personal responsibilities.
Advantages of Distance Post-Graduation at IFMS
In addition to being free, another important advantage is the possibility of taking the post-graduation without needing to travel to physical institutions, as classes are entirely online.
This increases access, especially for those living in more remote municipalities or with a busy routine.
It is worth noting that the partnership with UAB is essential to ensure pedagogical quality and the necessary support for students, with tutors, digital teaching materials, and interactive platforms that facilitate learning.
The Federal Institute emphasizes that distance post-graduation is an excellent alternative for those who wish to specialize in topics related to professional and technological education, areas essential for the economic and social development of the country.
Recommendation for Interested Parties
Finally, IFMS recommends that interested individuals do not wait until the last minute and enroll in advance to avoid unforeseen circumstances and secure their spot.
With this opportunity, IFMS reaffirms its strategic role in democratizing higher education in Mato Grosso do Sul, offering accessible paths for continued education and professional growth.
How to Enroll and Selection Criteria
The enrollment process is simple and must be conducted exclusively through the official IFMS website, at https://selecao.ifms.edu.br/login.
At the time of enrollment, the candidate must indicate whether they will compete for open competition or for the priority group — category designated for education professionals who need to prove this condition at the time of registration.
The selection will be carried out through an electronic draw, scheduled for June 16, a method that aims to ensure transparency and equal opportunities for all applicants.
