Objectives:
to describe nursing tutors' perspectives on the training process for Community Health Workers in a vocational course offered through distance learning.
Methods:
this experience report is based on the work of two nursing tutors in a free vocational course offered by a federal professional training program within and for the Brazilian Health System, between 2022 and 2023.
Development:
challenges related to students' low digital literacy, limited understanding of the tutor's role, and weak institutional support were highlighted. Asynchronous communication, heterogeneity of territories, and lack of study time compromised the training process.
Final Considerations:
tensions between the adopted pedagogical model and the principles of continuing education in health indicate the need to reassess vocational training policies in and for the Brazilian Health System based on an ethical-political positioning, appreciation of workers, critical digital inclusion and articulation between education and work.
