In view of the importance that Professional Education has historically achieved in Brazil, in 2017 the creation of the Professional Master's Degree in Professional Education in a National Network (ProfEPT) was instituted and, through public policies of inclusion, guarantees accessibility to all of the National Entrance Examination (ENA). Upon joining the program, deaf academics are accompanied by Sign Language Interpreter Translators (TILS) in all activities of the master's degree, and it is by reflecting on the work of these professionals that this research emerges. Considering the specificities of the conceptual bases of Professional and Technological Education (EPT), our objective was to investigate the process of translation and interpretation of TILS in ProfEPT, with the purpose of contributing to the development of an educational product to support studies and research and that could help in the translation process. In order to structure the theoretical bases that underlie this research, we have established six chapters that deal with a brief history of the EPT and the pragmatic aspects of the TILS' performance. The methodology is characterized as a qualitative approach, with an applied and exploratory nature. Based on the technical procedures adopted, we classified the proposal as participant research, as it involves the researcher with the investigated situation. We had the participation of twelve TILS who worked at ProfEPT. We divided the methodological route into two stages. The first consisted of data collection through the application of a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews and qualitative analysis of the collected information. The second stage describes the creation of the educational product, which was developed using the Padlet as a collaborative tool and brings a compilation of information in Libras about the master's program and the bases that guide Professional and Technological Education. We understand that, from the understanding of the reality of the TILS work in the EPT, our work presented a product that helps in the transformation of its praxis. In addition, our study can help prepare deaf candidates for the National Exam for Access to ProfEPT, as well as instigate further research in the area on the creation of sign-terms for EPT.
