The UFSCar is offering free online courses with a certificate in more than 80 different options, accessible to anyone interested, without any minimum age requirement, schooling, or selection process.

The proposal is to democratize access to knowledge, allowing students and professionals to acquire new skills in a flexible, entirely online format at no cost. Enrollment is now open and can be done directly through the institution’s official website.
Diversity of Areas and Available Topics
The courses cover education, health, technology, environment, exact sciences, and languages, among others. The list includes practical training, such as Product Photography with Cell Phone and Social Media and Digital Marketing, as well as academic courses like Bioethics and Education for Sustainability.

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.
