The Federal Institute offers more than 500 vacancies in free technical courses in Construction, Electrical Engineering, Nursing, Mechanics, Chemistry, Occupational Safety, and much more; the opportunities are offered by IFFluminense, in RJ.
The main objective of the free courses at Pernambuco University is to provide continuous education to education professionals, through knowledge relevant to the field of school management, aimed at graduates in teaching degrees or related courses recognized by MEC, as well as professionals from other areas interested in entering the teaching career.
Free courses require students to dedicate themselves in different ways to their studies and learning, moving away from the traditional daily attendance at classes.
The teacher’s situation occurs digitally, through a system that offers in-person tutoring at the hubs and remote support from the course instructor and virtual tutors, through virtual learning environments.
For this modality, it is necessary for the student to exercise autonomy in their studies, be motivated, and be capable of organizing daily tasks so that their learning time is better utilized.
How to Enroll in UPE’s Free Courses
In the coverage area of Petrolina, there are 25 spots for EAD graduate courses at the Cabrobó hub for specialization in Inclusive Education.
The hubs Afrânio and Ouricuri are offering 30 spots each for the specialization in Teaching Languages and Their Literatures. For Health Management, 30 spots are available for the Ouricuri hub. Applications can be made until September 24 via an electronic application form. To complete the form, the interested candidate must have a Gmail account.
The selection process for the free EAD graduate courses at Pernambuco University will be conducted in a single stage, through a curricular analysis of a classificatory nature, following the vacancy criteria.
The final results are expected to be published on October 10 on the website of the Distance Education Directorate (DED) of Pernambuco University. Enrollments must be done at the in-person support hubs, according to the choice made by the candidate for specializing.
What Are the Advantages of Taking Free EAD Graduate Courses?
Considering that the job market changes all the time, it is necessary to have an updated professional in a timely manner, as new developments keep appearing. Therefore, it is essential to step out of the comfort zone and adapt to changes and new technologies, and this process should be constant.
Attending a degree program is great, but it should not be the last step for those who wish to follow the paths of success. An EAD graduate program works basically the same way as an in-person one, but with the flexibility and practicality that distance education offers. It is worth mentioning that the EAD diploma from the University holds the same weight as the in-person one.
