Check the list of 44 free EaD courses offered

The renowned Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) recently announced the offer of 44 free courses in different categories and modalities, all taught online, in the EaD (Distance Learning) format.

These courses address topics ranging from health education and management to areas such as communication, communicable diseases, among others.

The trainings are totally free, free of charge and students can start right away. Because of Fiocruz's characteristics, the target audience for most of the training courses is healthcare professionals. However, anyone can apply.

It is also worth mentioning that the completion certificate of most courses is restricted to only workers who already work at Fiocruz, who in turn must be duly enrolled in the course proposed.
