How do the courses offered by Senac work?

Free Courses
Open Courses are short courses on specific topics. The teaching methods of these free courses are Initiation and Professional Training, which are usually used by those who want to work in areas where business needs are strong, whether they want to work on their own or add knowledge to professionals.
The institution offers hundreds of free courses in different areas of knowledge. These are the most popular courses taught by the institution. Some examples of live courses offered are listed below:
- Hairdresser;
- Cut and Sew;
- Senior Caregiver;
- Barber Course;
- Gastronomy Courses;
- Cell Phone Maintenance Course;
- Manicure and Pedicure;
- Receptionist.
Technical courses
The technical courses at Senac are regulated by the MEC (Ministry of Education), therefore, they must reach a certain number of hours. Unlike free courses, technical courses have a longer duration and therefore consist of more comprehensive and preaching content.
In this way, a technical course is normally given to those who are attending high school so that, after graduation, they can graduate from the course and enter the job market to pursue your career.
See some examples of courses offered:
- Administration Technician;
- Nursing Technician;
- Computer Technician;
- Podiatry Technician;
- Occupational Safety Technician.
Senac Free Courses (PSG and Scholarships)
It’s the Senac Free Program which offers free Senac courses. Through PSG, institutions in several regions offer scholarships to low-income people who intend to specialize/professionalize in the areas of trade in goods, services and tourism.
That is why the agency promotes social inclusion and helps those who cannot learn and find better conditions in the job market. Most units offer free courses through PSG. To participate, interested parties must meet the following requirements:
- Minimum monthly family income of up to 02 (two) minimum wages;
- Meet the requirements of the selected course;
- Not be attending Senac in your region receiving a scholarship.
The selection process rules are specified on the Senac website, which offers free scholarships through PSG. For more detailed information, visit the Senac page for your region.
EAD Courses
EAD (Distance Education) courses are the benchmark for this type of education. As the name suggests, these courses are offered remotely in an online learning environment on the institution’s own website.
However, unlike online courses, distance courses are not completely virtual: students will have to go to the teaching center when necessary to carry out some related activities to your courses.
The content of distance learning courses has the same quality found in a normal course, the difference is in teaching in a virtual environment. They usually have more economical costs and contain different teaching methods and different levels of learning. Visit the Senac EAD website for more information and to see which courses are available.
Young Apprentice
The partner companies of this institution offer business learning courses for young people as apprentices. When hired as an apprentice by the company, the young person must participate in training/apprenticeship courses within the scope of the company contract.
Many companies choose Senac to teach these courses. Therefore, to accept a youth internship course at Senac, you must first be indicated by the company that hired you as an apprentice.
