The evaluation of Education Distance (ED) activities in Brazil is still a developing area, considering the disparity and the number between the ED courses and the evaluation of the results provided by these initiatives. This fact assumes relevance as long-distance specializations are developed, demanding financial resources despite a proposal for an approach to identify variables that can measure their effectiveness or even efficiency. Primary Health Care is a propitious locus for the development of initiatives by a stimulating permanent education, particularly in areas where the technical fragility of health professionals is a critical. The accelerated aging process that Brazil has been experiencing, without time to prepare human resources capable of recognizing fragilities in elderly health, like permanent education, has make improvements on ED initiatives such as the Specialization Course on Elderly Health by UNASUS, involving three Universities in a regionalized and cooperative process: The University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), Federal University of Maranhão (UFMa) and the Federal University of Ceará (UFC). This analytical case study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of UNASUS / UERJ's Specialization Course on Elderly Health using a qualitative approach and having as theoretical reference in Kirkpatrick four levels of evaluation , through the analysis of student satisfaction, accumulation of knowledge and the appropriation of the content worked during the course, through the analysis of the intervention projects of the graduates and their congruence with the pedagogical objectives. This work can contribute to the development of new ED evaluation projects, to subsidize new projects and to correct directions of current initiatives
