Does watching a recording qualify you for a certificate?
Certification has not been confirmed for people who watch after the live event. UFJ’s published rules require advance registration and recorded attendance. They do not explicitly allow certificates to be obtained simply by watching a recording.
In the examples checked, the “Certificado” (Certificate) button opened an email lookup or returned to the event page. The scientific writing activity displayed a notice that certificates had not yet been released. These links do not establish that someone can register now and receive a certificate for a past activity.
The videos can be used as study materials. If you need a certificate, check the activity’s rules and the organizers’ instructions before relying on that possibility.
