Everything you need to know

1

Why places sometimes run out

Each course has a limited number of places. When demand is high, places fill up quickly and the application period can close earlier than expected.

That's why it's a good idea to have your ClaveÚnica and information ready before applications open, and apply as soon as dates are published.

2

If you make a mistake when applying

If you notice incorrect information after submitting, check your account to see if you can edit your application while the call for applications is still open.

If that's not possible, contact SENCE through their official channels. Don't use intermediaries who promise to correct your application in exchange for money.

3

Most common requirements

Requirements vary depending on the program, but in general you need an ID, to live in Chile and have a ClaveÚnica. Some programs also consider age, employment status or your record in the Social Registry of Households.

The details for each course indicate exactly what is needed. Read it before applying so you don't waste time on courses you can't access.

4

How to stay informed

Job openings are published on the official SENCE website. Visit the People section from time to time to see open programs.

Be wary of social media posts asking for payments or bank details. Official information is always on sence.gob.cl.

5

After completing the course

When you pass, many courses provide a certificate you can add to your résumé. Save it in a secure place and in digital format.

Put what you learned to use: update your résumé, mention the course in interviews, and look for opportunities where you can apply your new skills.

6

Social Registry of Households

Some programs use information from the Social Registry of Households to prioritize people who need it most. If the course requires it, check that your information in that registry is up to date.

The program sheet indicates whether this requirement applies. Not all courses require it.

7

Summary to apply without problems

Check the requirements, prepare your information, apply within the deadline, and track the process in your account and email. Always use the official SENCE website.

With these precautions, you avoid the most common mistakes and increase your chances of getting a place.
