Frequently asked questions
Before you enroll.
Which route is mine?
If you have a master’s degree, you follow the master’s route. If you have an undergraduate degree, you follow the experience route, which includes two candidate projects. At enrollment, we confirm it with you.
What if the class doesn’t fill up?
The January class opens with a minimum of 15 enrollees. If that number is not reached, you get 100% of the amount paid back.
Is supervision included?
No. It is contracted separately, with supervisors from our marketplace. You choose the format and log the hours on the portal.
Do I need the IBT® first?
No. The IBT® is not a prerequisite for the IBA®. You only need to meet the education requirement of your route.
Can I cancel and get my money back?
Yes. Under the Brazilian Consumer Defense Code (art. 49), purchases made online can be canceled within 7 days of enrollment, with a full refund of the amount paid, by the same payment method.
What if I don’t pass the exam?
You retake the program at no cost in the next class, as long as you meet the guarantee conditions. The exam retake fee is charged by the IBAO.
Is the course recognized by MEC?
No. It is a non-degree professional training course (a curso livre in Brazil), preparing you for an international IBAO certification. It is not an undergraduate or graduate degree.
With the certification, can I practice on my own?
It depends on your training and your professional council. The certification shows qualification in ABA, but it does not replace professional registration or, by itself, expand what your profession may do in Brazil.
