Our educational project follows the guidelines set out by Regulatory Standard No. 1.

After payment is processed, Purchase Order is placed, Contract is signed between the parties, or another form of closing confirmation is obtained, the learning materials will be released within 72 business hours (up to 9 days), due to the adaptation of the program content and adjustments to the Technical Standards applicable to the scenario expressed by the Client; as well as other adjustments to the learning materials, carried out by our Multidisciplinary Team for technical language according to the student’s nationality and specific Operational and Maintenance Technical Instruction Manuals for the activities to be performed.

Attention: This course teaches how to apply the normative concepts of the standard, which enables one to sign projects, reports, expert opinions, etc. These are the attributions that a legally qualified professional possesses with their professional council, such as CREA.
This course aims to study situations where the application of concepts and calculations according to relevant standards will be necessary and does not replace the analysis and responsibility of each professional accredited with CREA or other professional councils in various situations, where it is imperative to respect the conditions of equipment maintenance, periodic calibration of instruments, as well as respecting the primary capacity predetermined by the manufacturers of PPE, among others based on the corresponding standards.

What are short courses?
Given the variety of short courses that promise professional qualification, questions often arise about their validity and the need for registration with competent bodies, with questions such as: “For the offering of technical courses, is it necessary to request and/or register with the MEC (Ministry of Education)?” or “For the offering of technical courses, is it necessary to request and/or register with the State Department of Education?”.

Let’s examine what the legislation says about these courses:

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

Art. 39. Vocational and technological education, in fulfilling the objectives of national education, integrates with the different levels and modalities of education and with the dimensions of work, science and technology.

§ 1. Vocational and technological education courses may be organized by technological axes, allowing the construction of different training pathways, in accordance with the norms of the system and level of education.

§ 2. Professional and technological education encompasses 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. Professional and technological education courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels will be organized in accordance with the national curriculum guidelines determined 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 its article 4, establishes that Professional and Technological Education, based on § 2 of article 39 of the LDB (Law of Directives and Bases of National Education) and 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 of technical professional qualification and technical professional specialization courses;
III – Technological Professional Education, at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, with specialized exits of technological professional qualification, technological professional specialization courses, and professional Master’s and Doctoral programs.

According to the questions mentioned, these are vocational technical courses at the secondary level, considering the need for registration with the State Department of Education and/or the State Board of Education.

For these courses, Resolution CNE/CP No. 1/2021 establishes, in its chapters V and VI, the rules for offering, structure, and organization. Article 16 defines:

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

Article 17 specifies that the offering of technical courses, in any form, must be preceded by the accreditation of the educational unit and the authorization of the course by the competent body of the respective education system, in this case, the State Council of Education (CEE).
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.
Duly accredited institutions must present their authorization/accreditation number with the CEE in their promotional materials, which can be verified on the Council’s website.
Considering other types of “technical” courses on the market, it is worth mentioning the existence of non-degree courses. Law No. 9.394/96, in its article 42, establishes:

Article 42. In addition to regular courses, vocational and technological education institutions shall offer special courses open to the community, with enrollment conditioned upon the ability to benefit from the courses, without requiring a specific level of schooling.

According to the Ministry of Education’s website, non-degree courses can be offered as initial and continuing education or professional qualification, open to the community, without any educational level requirement.
Non-degree courses do not have a pre-established workload and are focused on professional or personal development in specific areas. They do not require prior schooling, and the MEC (Ministry of Education) regulations do not apply to them. These courses are valid throughout the national territory and can be offered in person or online.
Finally, because non-degree courses do not require accreditation from the MEC, they are not subject to oversight by educational regulatory bodies. Institutions can issue certificates for these courses, but without official recognition validity, only as proof of the acquired qualification.
