Vacations are synonymous with relaxation, but that doesn't mean our services cease to be important in your life. Discover some FCT digital services, developed by FCCN, that can enhance your summer.
# NAU
Vacation time includes rest, but it can also be used to acquire new knowledge. With NAU, you can develop new skills with free online courses (MOOCs) this summer. Thanks to our comprehensive training offering, you'll be able to find the ideal training that suits your needs.
Another of the great advantages of MOOCs concerns the way you can manage your learning with flexibility to create your own study pace, which will allow you to better manage your time during your vacation. Since its founding in 2019, the NAU platform has offered a total of 286 editions of 173 courses produced by 46 different entities.
