The article presents the implementation process, as well as the initial results, of the competency-based curriculum in the Physical Education course in (omitted to avoid identifying the author). Based on his experiences as a course coordinator and teacher in curricular components, the author makes a brief and concise assessment of the implementation of the curriculum in its first two years. The text is developed from a descriptive perspective, organized into five parts: indication of the context and aspects that influenced the creation of a new curriculum; presentation of the structure that makes up the curriculum; description of the methodological choices used in the development of the curriculum; analysis of the initial impacts of the restructuring and implementation of the course in the first two years; highlighting successes and difficulties in the process. The results indicate that the current curriculum has enabled expanded training for academics considering the analysis of the possibility of effective mobilization of what is studied, in contrast to the professional field. Academics consider the new way of organizing the course to be productive, giving merit to the methodological procedures and actions of teachers who aim to improve their knowledge. The collaborative planning and study experience allowed teachers to qualify their actions and recognize that they need to study permanently. It is evident that, on the one hand, there have been advances in a number of aspects and, on the other, there are important points to evolve, since teachers move and position themselves at different levels, in relation to the planning, development and evaluation of classes by skills.
