We analyse that education at a distance is a significant choice to favour a greater access to postgraduate education, with educational process of pedagogical quality, mediatized by communication and interaction processes, relyed in technologic networks and organized on the base previously identified needs of aprenticeship, without the student lose contact with labour and familiar spheres.
