The study investigated the course of training teachers of the National Integrated Vocational Education Mode in Basic Education for Youths and Adults, through the Continuing Education Policy effected within the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Para - IFPA, revealing the dynamics of educational policy, its relations and guidelines for the realization of such training included in the proposed program PROEJA established by Decree No. 5.840/06. The research with a qualitative approach, it constitutes a case study in the IFPA, Bethlehem headquarters, with the time frame from 2006, when it began a policy of continuing education in the institution. To achieve the objective of the research was carried out literature review and survey of the subject of documentary sources, analysis of documents relating to PROEJA and Specialization-PROEJA, decrees, orders, notices, educational proposal, minutes of meetings, reports of the Course, among others seeking legal and educational show. We carried out semistructured interviews with the coordination of continuing education, a teacher of each course of PROEJA (computers, buildings, electrical and mechanical) who attended the specialization course and serves on PROEJA, the director general (then) the IFPA; a teacher who participated in the implementation of the Programme at the Institute and educational coordinator of the specialization course PROEJA-IFPA. Took place, yet, focus group with students from PROEJA.The results showed that: a) The course program and specialization PROEJA were implanted because of a determination by the government published Decree 5.840/06. b) the continuing education of teachers from IFPA, despite not having met the expectations in relation to the specifics of EJA as a differentiated education, with reference to theoretical studies and the testimony of the teacher and learners, showed that , training is still the way to go to the improvement of teaching practice of educators in this pursuit of quality teaching and learning; c) In terms of value received training in the specialization and implications for pedagogical practice of teachers PROEJA, regarding the integration of high school with professional education and EJA, there was a series of obstacles to a qualitative change in this practice: lack of prioritization of the specifics of EJA, lack of faculty awareness regarding this type of education; disarticulation of integrated education, which only has integrated the registration that is unique and the inclusion of all disciplines in one period, lack of an emancipatory pedagogy that seeks a participative work, collaborative and dynamic, and meets the specific EJA; resistance to change, lack of an integrated curriculum, based on a political pedagogical project integrative, interdisciplinary, using a methodology consistent with reality and context of learners, comprising the organizational requirements of teaching, envisioning a socio-political emancipation of these subjects. d) the dilemma involved in this educational segment relates to a structural problem and history. The parallel drawn between the progress and /or setbacks to EJA in the FHC and Lula da Silva showed a complex situation that needs to be overcome - the duality inherent in an education class society. e) It is essential to a specific policy for initial and continuing training under the Eja
