Everything you need to know
How to improve your chances
Apply within the first few days, check that your email and phone number are correct, and meet all the program requirements. Applying to more than one course, if the rules allow it, also helps.
If you don't get in, don't be discouraged: new application rounds open throughout the year.
Finishing the course
Many courses require a minimum attendance rate and the submission of assignments in order to pass. Plan your week so you don't miss classes and keep up a steady pace.
If something comes up that stops you from attending, let the organization running the course know as soon as possible.
Using your certificate to look for work
Add the course to your CV with its name, the institution and what you learned. In interviews, explain how you would apply those skills.
The National Employment Exchange brings together job openings from across the country and lets you apply online.
Staying motivated
Break the course down into small goals, like finishing one module per week. Moving forward bit by bit, but consistently, is the best way to reach the finish line.
If the course is online, always set aside the same time to study.
Getting certified in a trade
If you already have experience in a trade, ChileValora handles the certification of work skills, which officially recognizes what you know how to do.
It can be a great complement to a SENCE course on your CV.
Summary
Apply early, meet the attendance requirement, keep your certificate and use it to look for work on the Bolsa Nacional de Empleo.
That way, the course becomes a real job opportunity.
