The flexibility of the learning space and time characteristic of Distance Education (DE) increases the possibilities of access to education, also revealing its democratization character. This perspective meets national policies of professional development, as it leads to increased access and the need for evaluation processes based on quality indicators. Given this, this study aims to raise the perceptions of graduates of a distance learning course, linked to the National Program for Strengthening School Councils, about their contributions and developments related to professional performance. The research had a mixed approach and was based on the application of a questionnaire in a convenience sample of 1113 participants. The results revealed that the main contribution referred to the acquisition of knowledge about school councils, which guided the development of skills and attitudes that allowed acting mainly in actions to strengthen school councils. It is noteworthy that the distance modality allowed the training action, linked to a government program and an educational policy, could be carried out in different regions of the country, involving various institutions. Thus, the democratizing potential of DE is reinforced and it is evident that these training processes result in changes in the professional performance of their graduates.
