Abstract: This work outlines the results from a study conducted to analyse the different management training programmes developed by Catalan universities, and the transfer of this training from the perspective of those who were trained and who later on took the position. The study was conducted through a sequential and explanatory mixed method, through the use of questionnaires and interviews. The sample consisted on 312 participants for the questionnaire, and the 36 for the interview. Results show that despite certain differences in the training approaches, those who participated evaluated them in a positive light, recognising not only the usefulness for opening a door to school direction, but also to broaden their knowledge and improve competences. Also, partaking on the training meant the implementation of changes in the management tasks, demonstrating that this training had an impact and was transferred to day-to-day realities. The conclusion is that management training is a key element for strengthening the professionalisation of school principals, especially in matters of leadership and organisation, which may allow overcoming obstacles such as excessive bureaucracy and lack of time.
