This research aimed to present the perception of students of Accounting Sciences at UFPB regarding the level of relevance of the continuing education program for the life of the accounting professional. To achieve the objectives, a documentary research was carried out. A questionnaire was applied to collect the data necessary to tabulate and meet the objective by means of Google Forms. The research was developed with a sample of 57 students enrolled from the 5th period of the accounting science course at the Federal University of Paraíba. The data obtained were tabulated and presented using tables and graphs using the excel program. The results show that 73.3% of students do not know the Brazilian Accounting Standard - NBC PG 12 (R3) - Continuing Professional Education and 80% do not know the Continuing Professional Education Program - PEPC, despite 50% of students being enrolled in the 7th and 8th periods, they still consider it relevant to professional practice.
