This research focused on the diagnostic and analysis of the profile of professional training. A case study of the Centro de Educação Profissional do Amapá (Cepa), which offers a technical leisure course, was conducted. The methodology used combined bibliographic, documentary and field research. The documentary research was based on the analysis of political pedagogical projects of the institution and its course. Semi-structured interviews with nine teachers and the coordinator of the technical leisure course were carried out in the field research. Based on the analyses, we noticed that Cepa has the idea of training leisure technicians to meet the market demand as a goal; however, it was noticeable that the approach used in leisure is not restricted to the concept of "commodity to be consumed". Consequently, a concern about producing and providing knowledge that goes beyond technical competences was identified in the intent to form students as citizens. The profile of the graduated professional included theoretical and practical knowledge in a multidisciplinary way, as an attempt to qualify students to intervene in different spaces, where leisure can be experienced.
