The general objective of the research was to describe how continuing education, whether offered by the State or not, impacts chemistry teaching, based on the opinion of the subject's teachers. The research typified as descriptive and transversal, had a quantitative-qualitative approach and for its execution there was the application of a rubric on the impressions of Chemistry teachers regarding the impact of continued training on their teaching practice, a rubric for evaluating plans of third semester class of the classes in which the participants teach and a structured interview guide. The study took place in Santarém, PA, with 6 Chemistry teachers from the public high school network, in the second semester of 2023. The results showed that continued training is very impactful for Chemistry teaching, as it provides educational knowledge that brings positive results for students, as indicated by the teachers themselves. However, some of the teachers noticed that some of their needs and expectations were not met.
