equivalence

What is a Brazilian tecnólogo worth in Europe?

In Brazil a tecnólogo is full higher education. In Europe it has no framework level, because Brazil is outside the European system entirely.

short answer

The Brazilian ministry treats a curso superior de tecnologia as graduação, real higher education, usually 2 or 3 years. No official mapping exists between Brazilian diplomas and European framework levels, so no honest page can hand you a number. In practice a tecnólogo is structurally closest to Europe's short-cycle qualifications at level 5, and in Portugal recognition as ensino superior is decided case by case and is sometimes refused.

what a recruiter should read into it

questions people actually ask

Is a tecnólogo recognised in Portugal?
Not automatically. Recognition goes through a polytechnic or DGES, file by file, and the outcome varies.
Is a tecnólogo the same as a bacharelado?
No. Both are graduação in Brazil, but the tecnólogo is shorter and vocational, and foreign readers treat them differently.
What should I put on a European CV?
The Brazilian title, the duration in years and the total hours. That is what a recruiter or a recognition officer will ask for anyway.
