The Political Pedagogical Project of the Course - PPC, of a Licentiate in Biological Sciences, UNEAL, aims to train a professor-biologist capable of understanding social demands, making readings of the situation where their professional performance will focus on a critical and knowledgeable look at the socioeconomic reality, cultural and environmental in which they are inserted, from the perspective of sustainability. Unexpectedly, the world was affected. The social isolation resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic has had repercussions and impacts on various aspects of life on a global scale in the social, economic, political, cultural, technological and health spheres. In Brazil and in the world, it affected education in the schooling and training process, at all levels of formal education. The insertion of remote learning became an alternative to face these new challenges. Finally, this article aims to identify the difficulties faced by Biological Sciences students in remote education in times of pandemic and their post-education perspective. Graduates of the L. C. Biology course of the final semesters took part in this research. Thus, for the research, a semi-structured questionnaire was used, applied by virtual means, considering the moment of pandemic. The results regarding the difficulties in remote teaching arise: lack of practice, flaws in the methodological approach, as well as technological resources and the family environment disfavoring teaching in continuing education. The interest is between masters, doctorates or specialization, working in different areas of teaching science and/or biology.
