Obrigado a todos pela ajuda. O verbo "prosseguir" é transitivo direto, portanto não admite o uso de preposição.

Reference: Further education depends upon the country:

Reference information:
Further education (often abbreviated FE; called continuing education in U.S. English) is a term mainly used in connection with education in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is post-compulsory education (in addition to that received at secondary school), that is distinct from the education offered in universities (higher education). It may be at any level above compulsory education, from basic training to Higher National Diploma or Foundation Degree.

A distinction is usually made between FE and higher education ("HE") which is education at a higher level than secondary school, usually provided in distinct institutions such as universities. FE in the United Kingdom therefore includes education for people over 16, usually excluding universities. It is primarily taught in FE colleges (which are similar in concept to United States community colleges, and sometimes use "community college" in their title), work-based learning, and adult and community learning institutions. This includes post-16 courses similar to those taught at schools and sub-degree courses similar to those taught at higher education (HE) colleges (which also teach degree-level courses) and at some universities.
http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Further_education

What is further education?

Further education (FE) covers the types of education which go beyond what has been achieved in compulsory education, but which are not at degree level (Higher Education). Typically, further education includes A levels, AS levels and vocational qualifications.

The largest group of people in further education are those aged between 16 and 19, but many other people undertake full-time or part-time further education.We offer a wider range of courses than sixth form colleges and we provide education and training for students aged 19 and over, as well as for full-time 16 to 19 year olds.
