Training aimed at professionals could be a simple and effective approach for increasing the use of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a tool for practice by professionals. In this case, training was crucial for its correct use as a classification as well as showing its usefulness in daily clinical practice, particularly in multidisciplinary teams. Objective: The aim of the present study was to verify the impact of a training course on ICF in the knowledge of physical therapists and occupational therapists. Methods: This was an experimental study that used a structured questionnaire to evaluate the knowledge of professionals about the ICF before and after participating in a training course. Data from both moments were compared using the percentage of correct answers and the chi-square test (α=0.05). Results: 434 professionals were investigated, with graduation time of 9.3±7.2 years. It was observed that the course was effective, since there was a higher percentage of correct answers in the post course; additionally, the statistical analysis showed a significant difference between the two course moments in most of the questions (18.91<c2<292.90, p<0.01). Conclusions: The training course was able to significantly increase the level of knowledge of these professionals, who are currently able to understand and use the ICF, however, the absence of a follow up period does not allow the measurement of the content retained by the participants.
