Of these opportunities, 3.805 are for face-to-face and distance learning professional qualification courses. The remainder, 195, are vacancies for face-to-face and blended technical courses.

According to Senai, registration requirements vary according to the notice. For technical courses, for example, you must be at least 16 years old and have completed high school or be studying from the second grade onwards.

Classes will be held at Senai units in the Federal District located in Gama, Setor de Indústrias Gráficas (SIG), Sobradinho and Taguatinga, in the morning, afternoon and night shifts.

Each candidate may enroll in up to two courses, as long as they are in different shifts so that there is no conflict in schedules.

Difference between qualification and technical courses

As mentioned, there are vacancies for qualification and technical courses. For those who don't know, the difference between them is the fact that the first has a short duration, ranging from 160 to 366 hours, and aims to insert or replace the student in the job market – at the end, the student receives a certificate.

On the other hand, technical courses have a workload of up to 1.200 hours, lasting from one to one and a half years, and train professionals with specific theoretical and practical knowledge. Here, unlike qualification courses, the successful student receives a diploma.
