This is the complete path to apply for a free State course, from the ClaveÚnica to the confirmation mail.
Before starting: prepare your data
The postulation takes a few minutes if you have it all ready. The most common error is reaching the form without ClaveÚnica or with outdated data, and losing the cup while it is resolved.
Review this list before entering the portal:
- Current RUT.
- Single key activates and remembers the password.
- Email and telephone number you use daily.
- Social Register of Homes updated, if the program requests it.
- Basic information about your education level and employment situation.
Step by step to postulate
Type sence.gob.cl directly in your browser. Avoid third-party links that promise quick registration: official postulation is always done on State portals.
On this site you will see programs with open applications. You can filter by region, municipality, mode and area. Write down the course name, duration and schedule.
Each program defines who it is directed to. Some are for unemployed people, others for active workers, young people or homebound women. Make sure you comply before proceeding.
When you click on postulate, the system will ask you to identify yourself. With the Single Key, many of your data are completed automatically.
Check each field calmly, especially mail and telephone. When finished, keep the receipt or capture the postulation screen.
If you are selected, you will receive a mail or call from the organization that dictates the course with the start button and instructions. Also review the spam folder.
Frequent problems and how to solve them
If the system does not recognize your ClaveÚnica, you can recover or activate it from its official website. If a course appears several times, review other courses or online modalities, which sometimes have more availability.
Before any doubt, SENCE has public service channels indicated on its website. It's best to ask before sending a postulation with errors.
