Among all health professionals of the Family Health Strategy (ESF), the Community Health Agent (CHA) presents itself as the bridge established between the population and the health service, through educational activities. Even with many advances, the training of ACS remains a challenge. The forecast is that this training will be gradual and permanent, and should consider the CHA's work context, observing local demands. Through the above, the objective was established to know the perception of the CHA's about the training offered by the management and the team. This research is characterized as a field research, descriptive-exploratory, with a qualitative approach; the research was carried out in the city of Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil, between the months of May 2018 and August 2019. Regarding the perception of the CHAs about the intervention proposal, it is observed that the experience of training, based on the realization of Permanent Education in Health, it was presented as a pedagogical method in line with what is intended to be achieved with the policy of permanent education in the context of Family Health. The CHA's decision-making power to list the topics discussed, in addition to the identification of problem situations and the construction of possible ways to overcome them, were characteristics that were strongly observed during the proposed activities, which provided the process of deconstructing a previously consolidated knowledge, with regard to professional performance, the production of health care and interactions between the team and the community.
