Distance Learning (DL) has been shown to be adequate to the current field of Training, Development and Education (TD&E), which constantly undergoes transformations resulting from technological innovations. Students’ characteristics is one of the factors responsible for abandoning DL programs. This study aimed to relate the possibility of evasion of a DL course and the variables belonging to the student’s characteristics (Learning Strategies and Styles). A total of 135 students enrolled in a distance learning degree responded virtually to the instruments of Learning Strategies and Styles. The results showed that most participants who would not abandon the course used the Behavioral and Self-Regulated Learning Strategies and presented the Learning Style related to the Study Environment. The data obtained contribute to future planning of TD&E programs, which should consider the clientele’s characteristics.
