The public policies in favor of Inclusive Education in Brazil, implemented with more effectiveness from 2008, demanded that teachers have new knowledge and practices with differentiated methodologies to attend students with disabilities in regular education. Thus, public educational institutions started to offer Courses, in the distance education, for the training of teachers to work in the Educational Service Specialist (AEE). In this sense, this study aims to verify the impact of this course offered the distance, in the training and practice of the graduating students. The methodology consists of an exploratory descriptive exploration, of a qualitative nature, of the type of case study, being the subjects the teachers of the 10th Edition of the AEE Course, offered by the Federal University of Santa Maria, RS / BRAZIL. As a research instrument, a questionnaire was used, semi-structured with open and closed questions. For the analysis of the data, the content analysis was used, with three initial categories: egress profile, professional situation and practice in AEE. The results show that graduates perceive the impacts of training and practice, through the content covered, the quality of the interactions and materials used in the Course and the changes that were made in schools
