The University of Brasília (UnB) has opened 5,000 slots for a free distance learning course in Special Education.
The training is aimed at teachers and students in the field of education who wish to enhance their pedagogical practices aligned with school inclusion. Enrollment is open until February 28, 2025, and classes will begin in March.
Course Details
The initiative is coordinated by the Faculty of Education of UnB, in partnership with the Open University System of Brazil (UAB).
The goal is to train professionals and students to act inclusively, respecting the National Policy on Special Education in the Perspective of Inclusive Education (PNEEPEI).
The course will have a total workload of 120 hours, distributed over four modules, and will be offered entirely online, allowing participants from any region of Brazil to access it without needing to travel.
Classes will be taught by expert teachers in the area of special education and inclusion, providing high-quality education.
Participants will have access to exclusive didactic materials, interactive activities, and support from specialized tutors.
The Virtual Learning Environment (AVA) will be the main means of communication between students and instructors, allowing for continuous interaction and clarification of doubts.
In addition to theoretical content, the course will include case studies, pedagogical practices aimed at inclusion, and discussions on real challenges faced in the school environment.
The intention is to offer a dynamic and applicable learning experience, enabling educators to improve the quality of education for students with special educational needs.
Who Can Participate?
The slots are prioritized for professionals and students in the field of education. The selection will occur on a first-come, first-served basis, respecting the following priorities:
- Teachers of Basic Education from the public network, who work in the classroom or in Specialized Educational Services (AEE);
- Teachers from private schools, who work in regular teaching or in AEE;
- Higher Education Faculty, who develop research and projects related to educational inclusion;
- Teachers of technical courses, who seek to broaden their knowledge on accessibility and inclusion;
- Undergraduate students, who wish to specialize in the field and prepare for an increasingly diverse job market.
It is important to emphasize that professionals from other fields will not be able to participate, as stated in the announcement.
The course focuses on training teachers and future educators to be prepared to deal with the challenges of inclusive education within the school environment.
Timeline and Selection Process
Enrollment must be done exclusively online until February 28, 2025.
The selection will follow the order in which applications are received, respecting the priority criteria established in the announcement.
Candidates can follow the stages of the selection on the official CEAD UnB website. The announced schedule includes:
- March 5, 2025: Announcement of preliminary results;
- March 6 and 7, 2025: Period for filing appeals;
- March 10, 2025: Publication of final results.
After the announcement of the selected candidates, participants must confirm their enrollment within the time frame set by the university.
If the number of slots is not filled by the candidates from the first call, new convocations may occur.
Importance of Training in Special Education
Special Education has gained increasing prominence within the Brazilian educational system.
The current legislation stipulates that students with disabilities, global developmental disorders, and high abilities/giftedness must have access to a quality education, with specialized support and strategies adapted to their needs.
Training teachers is essential to ensure that these students have appropriate learning conditions and can fully develop within the school environment.
Often, the lack of specific training can hinder the inclusion process and limit the potential of students with special needs.
This course offered by UnB emerges as an important solution to meet this demand, preparing professionals to act with more confidence, knowledge, and sensitivity in building a truly inclusive school.
Benefits for Participants
In addition to the knowledge gained, course participants will receive a completion certificate issued by UnB, an important differentiator for the resumes of educators and undergraduate students. The certificate can be used to:
- Enhance professional training and open new opportunities in the job market;
- Serve as proof of extracurricular activities in graduate programs and academic selections;
- Count towards complementary hours required in undergraduate and graduate courses;
- Update knowledge on the guidelines of special education and public policies aimed at school inclusion.
Moreover, the flexibility of the online course allows participants to study at their own pace, balancing studies with professional and personal routines.

Enrollment must be made exclusively through the SIGAA portal, at the following address: https://sig.unb.br/sigaa/public/extensao/loginCursosEventosExtensao.jsf. To increase the chances of selection, it is recommended that interested parties enroll as soon as possible.
