This article presents results of a research about the challenges and the possibilities conceived regarding the continuous training process of bachelor teachers who work in higher education institutions. This is a qualitative research, developed through semi-structured interviews with eight teachers who work in a private higher education institution in Ceará’s countryside region. As a result, some of the main challenges for continuous training are the absence of stricto sensu courses in their areas of interest in their city of residence, high values of postgraduate courses, as well as other courses, the impossibility to reconcile training with the classroom and family activities and the lack of financial incentive. As possibilities for continuing education, there is a search for training in other spaces besides the master's and doctoral courses, such as short courses, participation in events, teacher training and pedagogical meetings.
