The research sought to analyze the institutional documents, laws, decrees and ordinances related to professional education in Brazil and Amapá, with emphasis on Law 11.892 of December 29, 2008, which gives a new format to the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education with the creation of the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology. For the development of this research, the qualitative approach was chosen, through bibliographic research, documentary analysis and interviews. The results reveal the detailed paths taken in the process of transformation of the Amapá Federal Technical School (ETFAP) into the Amapá Federal Institute (IFAP), the installation in provisional units, the choice of the first courses and their importance for regional development.
