Structure and Operation of the Courses
The classes are offered through the PoCA/UFSCar platform, which provides video lectures, digital handouts, discussion forums, and assessment activities. The online format allows participants to progress at their own pace, revisit the content whenever necessary, and balance their studies with work or other activities.
The free certificate is automatically issued upon the completion of all course stages and fulfillment of the required hours. This ensures official recognition and practical application for various academic and professional purposes.
To participate, simply access the official website (cursos.poca.ufscar.br), choose the desired course, fill out the registration, and start studying. The spots are open to everyone, but it is recommended to enroll as soon as possible since demand is high and the availability of support may vary according to demand.
