How are they organized?
The curricular organization of modular training courses is carried out, for each training unit, in accordance with the respective training frameworks contained in the National Qualifications Catalogue (CNQ), and may correspond to units of the basic training component, the technological training component, or both.
Modular training programs can be used to obtain one or more qualifications listed in the CNQ (National Qualifications Framework) and allow for the creation of flexible pathways of varying duration, characterized by adaptation to different training modalities, target audiences, methodologies, training contexts, and forms of validation.
What certification do they confer?
Whenever an adult successfully completes a modular training course, they are issued a certificate of qualifications that details all the competency units or short-term training courses successfully completed. If the trainee completes a full CNQ (National Qualifications Framework) course, they will obtain the corresponding certification.
