The National Policy for Personnel Development of the Federal Public Administration emerged in 2006 with the aim of contributing to the professional development of personnel based on the competency model in the formulation of their training plans. The main objective of this research is to analyze the perception of the professor-manager about the relevance of training and development of managerial skills in his performance as a manager at UFRN. The quali-quantitative methodology combines applied, descriptive research and field survey (survey), using content analysis and descriptive and inferential statistics for the analysis of results. For data collection, the focus group method and online questionnaire were used. The results of the content analysis made it possible to identify that the way teachers develop their skills when they assume management positions happens in practice, in their day-to-day experience, as there are skills that cannot be developed through training, which are more effective to develop technical and operational skills. The statistical results showed that although the teacher-managers had taken some training course, this course may not have influenced their performance as a manager. In the teacher-manager's perception, the effects/impacts of training, in terms of developing managerial skills, are not yet perceived in practice.
