What Are Free Courses?
Given the variety of short-term courses that promise professional qualification, the question about their validation and the need for registration with competent authorities frequently arises, with questions such as: “For offering technical courses, is authorization and/or registration with the MEC required?” or “For offering technical courses, is authorization and/or registration with the State Department of Education required?”

Let us examine what the legislation says about these courses:

Professional education is regulated by the National Education Guidelines and Framework Law (Law No. 9.394/96), specifically in Article 39, which states:

Art. 39. Professional and technological education, in fulfilling the objectives of national education, is integrated into the different levels and modalities of education and the dimensions of work, science, and technology.

§ 1 Professional and technological education courses may be organized by technological areas, allowing the construction of different training pathways, according to the rules of each level and type of education.

§ 2 Professional and technological education includes the following courses:
I – initial and continuing training or professional qualification;
II – technical professional education at the secondary level;
III – technological professional education at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

§ 3 Technological professional education courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels will be organized according to national curriculum guidelines established by the National Education Council.

The National Education Council, through Resolution CNE/CP No. 1 of January 5, 2021, defined the General National Curriculum Guidelines for Professional and Technological Education. This resolution, in Article 4, establishes that Professional and Technological Education, based on § 2 of Art. 39 of the LDB and on Decree No. 5.154/2004, is developed through courses and programs of:
I – professional qualification, including initial and continuing training of workers;
II – Technical Professional Education at the Secondary Level, with intermediate exits for technical professional qualification and technical specialization courses;
III – Technological Professional Education, at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, with intermediate exits for technological professional qualification, technological specialization courses, and professional master’s and doctoral programs.

According to the questions mentioned, these refer to mid-level technical professional courses, considering the need for registration with the State Department of Education and/or the State Education Council.

For these courses, Resolution CNE/CP No. 1/2021 establishes, in Chapters V and VI, the rules for offering, structuring, and organizing them. Article 16 defines:

Art. 16. Technical courses will be offered in integrated, concurrent, or subsequent forms to High School, as described below:
I – integrated, for those who have already completed Elementary School, with a single enrollment at the same institution, leading the student to the technical professional qualification while completing High School;
II – concurrent, for those who are currently enrolled or entering High School, with separate enrollments for each course, taking advantage of educational opportunities in different institutions;
III – intercomplementary concurrent, offered simultaneously in different institutions but integrated in content through agreements or partnerships;
IV – subsequent, intended for those who have already completed High School.

Article 17 specifies that the offering of a technical course, in any form, must be preceded by accreditation of the educational unit and authorization of the course by the competent authority of the respective education system, in this case, the State Education Council (CEE).
The authorizations and accreditations carried out by the CEE are published in the State Official Gazette. In Espírito Santo, these resolutions can be consulted on the CEE website.
Institutionally accredited providers must display in their promotional materials the authorization/accreditation number issued by the CEE, which can be verified on the Council’s website.

Considering other types of “technical” courses in the market, it is worth mentioning the existence of free courses. Law No. 9.394/96, in Article 42, establishes:

Art. 42. Institutions of professional and technological education, in addition to regular courses, shall offer special courses, open to the community, with enrollment subject to the student’s ability to follow the course, without the need for specific schooling level.

According to the Ministry of Education’s website, free courses can be offered as initial and continuing training or professional qualification, open to the community, with no schooling requirement.
Free courses do not have a predetermined workload and are focused on professional or personal qualification in specific areas. They do not require prior schooling, and MEC regulation does not apply to them. These courses are valid throughout the country and can be offered in person or online.
Finally, since free courses do not require accreditation with the MEC, they are not subject to oversight by educational regulatory agencies. Institutions may issue certificates for these courses, but with no official recognition value, only as proof of acquired qualification.

Clarification: The purpose of our Course is to enhance the student’s knowledge step by step on how to prepare the Technical Report; What enables the student to sign as the Technical Responsible is, above all, the professional attributions they possess before their Professional Council, such as CREA.

Our pedagogical project follows the guidelines imposed by Regulatory Standard No. 1.

After payment confirmation, Purchase Order, signed Contract between the parties, or another form of agreement confirmation, the instructional material will be released within 72 business hours (up to 9 days), due to the adaptation of the program content and alignment with Technical Standards applicable to the scenario provided by the Client; as well as additional adjustments to the instructional material made by our Multidisciplinary Team for technical language according to the nationality of the student and the specific Operational Technical Instruction and Maintenance Manuals of the activities to be performed.

Attention: The Course teaches how to Apply normative concepts of the standard; what authorizes someone to sign Projects, Reports, Expert Opinions, etc., are the attributions the Legally Qualified Professional holds with their respective Professional Council, such as CREA.
This course aims to study situations where the application of Concepts and Calculations according to relevant Standards is necessary; it does not replace the analysis and responsibility of each professional accredited with CREA or other Professional Councils in various situations, where it is unavoidably necessary to respect equipment preservation conditions, periodic calibration of instruments, and the primary capacity limits predetermined by PPE manufacturers, among other requirements based on applicable Standards.

Causes of Occupational Accidents:
Lack of employer alertness;
Lack of employee care;
Even performing all mandatory Occupational Health and Safety Training and Reports, in case of a work accident the employer will be subject to the following proceedings:
Police Investigation – Civil Police;
Forensic Analysis through the Criminalistics Institute;
Investigation Process by the Regional Labor Authority;
Public Civil Inquiry by the Public Labor Prosecutor’s Office to verify if other workers are at risk;
INSS will question whether the accident could have been prevented and may deny benefit payments to the employee;
Family members may file lawsuits in the Labor Court claiming Moral and Material damages, injuries, etc.;
A “Procedural Tsunami,” forcing the Employer to develop Defense Strategies even when innocent;
Although Labor Delegation Law does not expressly apply “culpa in vigilando,” but only the responsibility to provide equipment, it is important to stress that the Employer is also responsible for supervision;
When an accident occurs, beyond destroying the “good atmosphere” among employees, it creates the serious problem of defending multiple procedures at the same time—therefore, investing in prevention is worthwhile;
The Employee cannot perform activities exposing them to risks that may compromise their safety and health, therefore the Employer may respond in both criminal and civil spheres.
