Everything you need to know

1

What is ClaveÚnica

ClaveÚnica is the Chilean Government's password for doing online procedures. With it, you access many public services, including applications for SENCE programs.

Keep it in a safe place and don't share it with anyone. No legitimate course will ask for your ClaveÚnica by message or phone.

2

After applying

When you finish applying, the program checks if you meet the requirements and if there are places available. The result arrives by email or appears in your account.

If you're selected, you'll receive instructions to start the course: start date, schedule, and how to access the classes.

3

How to review the course details

Each course has a details page with the main information: format, duration, schedule, requirements, and whether it provides a certificate. Read it completely before applying.

Pay attention to the start and end dates, and attendance requirements. Some courses require a minimum attendance percentage to pass.

4

Tips to not miss out

Apply as soon as the call opens, with your information ready. Check that your email and phone are correct, as these are how the program contacts you.

If you're not selected, don't get discouraged: new calls open throughout the year and you can apply to other courses.

5

Study and work at the same time

Online courses allow you to progress on schedules that work for you, as long as you respect the deadlines. They're a good option if you already work or have other responsibilities.

Organize a routine with some fixed blocks each week. Making progress little by little, but consistently, is the best way to finish the course.

6

Step-by-step summary

Have your ClaveÚnica, enter sence.gob.cl, choose the program and course, complete your application and save the confirmation. Then check your email until you receive the result.

If you have doubts, go back to the course details: that's where you'll find the requirements, dates and format.
