Not everyone has a computer at home — but almost everyone has a smartphone. The good news is that you can complete Brazil’s free public online courses entirely from your phone, from enrollment all the way to downloading your certificate. This guide explains how, and then answers the questions we hear most often. If you are brand new, start with our overview of what is available and our step-by-step enrollment guide, then come back here for the mobile details.
Can you really do it all from a phone?
Yes. The Escola Virtual do Governo (EV.G) and the free courses linked to gov.br work in a mobile browser, which means a modern smartphone with an internet connection is enough to create your account, browse the catalog, watch or read the lessons, take the final assessment and download your certificate. You do not need a powerful device or expensive equipment.
Tips for studying comfortably on mobile
- Use Wi-Fi when you can. Video-heavy courses use data; connecting to Wi-Fi saves your mobile allowance and makes lessons load faster.
- Study in short sessions. Because progress is saved automatically, you can complete a module while commuting or during a break and pick up later without losing anything.
- Take notes in your phone. A simple notes app is perfect for jotting down key points you will want for the final assessment.
- Keep the screen readable. Rotating to landscape or zooming in helps with dense material and long documents.
- Save your certificate in two places. When you finish, download the PDF and also email it to yourself so you always have a backup and the validation code.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free, even on my phone?
Yes. There is no difference in cost between studying on a phone or a computer — the courses and certificates are free either way. Be cautious with any page that asks for a payment to “unlock” a public certificate.

Do I need to download an app?
Generally no. The courses run in your phone’s web browser, so you can start without installing anything. Just open the official platform, sign in and go.
What if my internet is slow?
Self-paced courses are forgiving. If a video buffers, let it load, or choose reading-based courses that use less data. Your progress is saved, so a dropped connection will not erase your work.
Will the certificate look the same as on a computer?
Yes. The certificate is identical regardless of the device you used. It carries the same validation code that employers or selection boards can verify online.
Anúncios
Can I switch between my phone and a computer?
Absolutely. Because your account stores your progress, you can start a course on your phone and continue on a computer later, or the other way around. Just sign in with the same account.
Do I have to be a public servant?
No. Most courses are open to any citizen. See our guide “Who Can Enroll and How the Free Certificate Works” for the full eligibility details.
How long do I have to finish?
Most open courses are self-paced without a strict deadline, so you can move at your own speed. Check the specific course’s information, since a few may set a time window.
A final reminder
Studying from your phone removes one of the biggest barriers to learning: needing special equipment. With just the device in your pocket, you can build a real skill and earn a verifiable certificate for free. Keep in mind that Iévera is an independent site and not the official page of EV.G or gov.br — enrollment and certificates always happen on the official platforms, at no cost. When you are ready, revisit our overview and enrollment guides and choose your first course today.
