摘　　要：In this article, three models of the selection process for a lato sensu distance education course in computer education （PIE） were described and analyzed. The selection process, besides selecting students, aims to contribute to the democratization of access to continuing education of teachers according to the principles of the Open University of Brazil （UAB）. This is an exploratory, descriptive, and qualitative study and the methods used are procedure documentary research and a survey to teachers and tutors. The results show that there was no relevant change in the percentage of dropout/school leaving and course failure in classes despite differentiated selection processes, but, still, the teachers consider that the last of the three selection process model, which includes two steps, should be maintained.
